As the most recent promotion expires on the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card, a new one arises. The new offer includes a 50% discount on the annual fee as well as a bonus with Shop.ca. Below are the highlights of the credit card offer:
MBNA currently offers University affiliated credit cards for students and alumni for the following Universities in Canada:
It’s no secret that annual fees are a nuisance. However, in some cases there are enough perks associated with certain credit cards to justify annual fees. Furthermore, if annual fees were not an issue, I would probably not care as much about churning credit card as much, so in some cases, I would simply renew the credit card. If annual fees weren’t an issue, I would probably be travelling much more often, which is why my portfolio may seem more travel centric.
From August 31st, 2015 to September 4th, 2015, Cineplex is offering Tuesday pricing which will be applied to all movies including 3D, IMAX, VIP and D-Box. The offer is now live, so you can already purchase tickets ahead of time for showings during the promotional period.
As you already know, the Chase Canada website has taken off the link to sign up for the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa. But the website is advertising for only 30,000 sign up bonus points. There has been a special link for the 50,000 sign up bonus points instead, but that seems to have discontinued. Furthermore, the old 30,000 link also discontinued, so I almost thought the credit card was finished until I saw this new link with the 30,000 sign up bonus offer.
The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) appears to be sending out letters to some of its credit card holders offering a bonus for adding authorized users. I received a letter offering 8,000 Shoppers Optimum bonus points. I immediately added my spouse as an authorized user.
HSBC is offering a targeted double the rewards promotion between August 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015. Targeted means that you would need to have received mail with a promotional code. You need to register your HSBC Premier MasterCard and provide promotional code provided in your letter.
The $899 annual fee on the American Express AeroplanPlus Reserve Card is the most hefty annual fee out of all the Canadian credit cards. So it would be interested to calculate whether it is actually worth it.
Another credit card discontinuation, this time the MBNA More Rewards MasterCard. Just after we completed a review of the More Rewards program, which turns out to be a pretty decent program.
The American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card has a 20,000 sign up bonus points and $120 annual fee. The question I get fairly often is whether the 20,000 sign up bonus is worth the $120 annual fee.
