[ANALYSIS] Best Western Rewards
Best Western is quite prominent across the country so I believe it merits an analysis. Furthermore, Best Western Rewards points never expire (for members who reside in North, Central and South America, Asia and South Africa), which makes this program much more attractive.

Top Credit Cards for Purchasing Gas (updated January 28, 2014)
Since I’ve been on the road quite a bit the last few weeks, I saw that my gas bill is higher than normal, so I wanted to make sure that I maximize the number of points I earn each time I fill up.
First of all, I generally focus my purchases at Esso, Shell or Petro-Canada, because they all have a loyalty program associated with them. Between the three, I generally choose the one who will offer the lowest price and then fill up there. If they all have the same price, I give priority to Esso so that I can pile up my Aeroplan account because I value those points the most.

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.
