American Express Canada issued a Press Release informing the changes to its Starwood Preferred Guest Co-Brand Credit Cards that are set to come into effect in August 2018. Which should correspond with the full integration of Marriott and Starwood.
Below are the key highlights of the changes to the business and personal versions of the credit cards. I put the expected changes in bold with a commentary in brackets:
Quite a few expiry promotions going on. There is a chance that they can be extended or a new promotion may be offered instead.
Note that we also have two other types of monthly lists going on:
Top Cash Back Credit Card Offers
Top Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonus Offers
If you would like to see other lists as well, please let us know in the comment section below.
As we approach the summer months, road trips become more popular. What you want to do is have a nice batch of credit cards to use to optimize spending during the trip. Depending on where you are going, you may want to consider a different grouping of cards.
As a Canadian, generally road trips will either be across Canada, into the United States and some even all the way to Mexico. So I will provide a sample of some of the combinations that can put together.
A few changes to the industry means that this post was due for an update from last time, namely,
Now unlimited access on National Bank World MasterCard (now the same as the World Elite version)
Addition of Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card
Addition of Priority Pass access to the American Express Business Platinum Card
We are back again with our monthly update on the first year fee waived credit cards list.
Note that we also have two other types of monthly lists going on:

A few companies need to be added to this list, so I thought it was due for an update from 6 months ago. Most of the ranking changes occurred in the bottom half of the list. Furthermore, I also revamped the list to go with a pure ranking system instead of the previous grouping system. I think that it will run smoother now.
Below are my personal rankings of each company, along with a commentary and a list of some of my top credit card picks for each financial institution.

American Express Canada (AMEX) has been known to charge high payment processing fees, which discourages many businesses from accepting AMEX cards as a payment option. This may change as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has agreed on a deal with payment processing firm Chase Merchant Services that will reduce the fee.
