For 5 days only (October 24, 2013 – October 28, 2013), you can earn 5x Aeroplan points by marking purchases at the eStore. This would be a great time to start your Christmas shopping if you already know what you want to buy. Remember to go for double dipping opportunities, so buy things that are also on sale.
To cut to the chase, it’s a close call between AMEX AeroplanPlus Gold Card over the AMEX AeroplanPlus Platinum Card. It will depend on your spending habits. I’ll explain. But before I describe the cards, keep in mind that you can only take advantage of the larger sign up bonuses that I will be referring to if you have a friend or family member who can refer the credit card to you. Also keep in mind that they are both Charge Cards, so you will have to pay your balance off in full every month.
