Another new year, another new semester for students. It can be stressful being a student at this time of the year. Waiting for exam results, applying for jobs in time for the summer, dreading going back to school after a restful holiday, etc. Having a solid credit card can alleviate some of the stress.
New Year’s Eve! Going into 2014

[ANALYSIS] Capital One Priority Club World MasterCard
First of all, I’m not sure why Capital One left “Priority Club” on the credit card when they changed their name to IHG Rewards since July 2013. As you may have read, IHG Rewards is one of my favourite hotel chains, mostly because their points never expire.

Essentially ranging from 3-5 star hotels.

Top No Annual Fee Credit Cards (other than cash back)
I previously wrote about the top “cash” back no annual fee credit cards in Canada. Below are the top other types of no annual fee credit cards. Keep in mind that these credit cards are specific to a loyalty program. So unless you use these programs, you’re better off getting a cash back credit card instead.

The question usually is, do we just pay for the cheapest option out there or do we want to bank all our points into one account? Often times, we do not even want to collect hotel loyalty points because of…
