Aeroplan’s 5x the bonus miles offer with the eStore is back if you make purchases between April 3, 2017 to April 16, 2017. This is the perfect time for spring shopping or a Mother’s Day gift?
It has been fun for me to compare similar Canadian and U.S. based credit cards. So far, it has proven that Canada does have some competitive cards. I cannot expect them to be at par with each other. Today, we continue our comparison series with the Amazon co-branded cards.
Keep in mind that the U.S. has two versions of the card to consider. Below are the highlights of each respective cards:
WestJet decided to have a little April Fool’s fun with pretending to re-brand to Canada Air. Would not have been the worse thing to re-brand itself to a more encompassing of the entire country. WestJet does seem to refer only to a certain part of the country.
