Previously, I spoke about the WestJet Rewards program, as well as a fun ad campaign called WestJet Christmas Miracle. Now, I will talk about how to jump start your rewards program with two valuable WestJet credit cards offers by RBC, the: WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard and the WestJet RBC MasterCard.
There is a 30,000 Aventura bonus points sign up for the CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite Card that ends on December 31, 2013. If you are still thinking about getting this credit card, this is your last chance. Check out our previously written analysis on this credit card to see if it works for you.
Before going into depth about this credit card, I would like to point out that Cathay Pacific is a member of the Oneworld alliance, which means that any points that you accumulate with this airline, you can use to redeem on any of its member partners. Airlines that are members of an alliance makes their loyalty points that much more valuable because it gives you so much more flexibility when looking for award bookings. With Cathay Pacific flights, you earn Asia Miles points.
Scotiabank has the ScotiaHockey NHL Visa Card associated with all the different National Hockey League (NHL) teams. These credit cards really are for hard core hockey fans, but are they actually worth it? These credit cards allow you to earn ScotiaHockey Rewards points.

Scotiabank has an interesting Platinum American Express Card. This credit card allows you to earn Scotia Rewards. Below are the highlights of the card:

Capital One Canada has been one of my favourite institutions, namely because of the Capital One Aspire Travel World MasterCard. That is probably one of my favourite cards.
The Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Card allows you to earn Marriott Rewards points. The Marriott hotel chain includes: Marriott Hotels and Resorts, JW Marriott Hotels and Resorts, Renaissance Hotels and Resorts, Fairfield Inn, Courtyard, Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Springhill Suites and Marriott Vacation Club resorts.
I do not have a bank with HSBC, but I was curious to see what type of credit cards choices they have so I did a little research. Unfortunately, my first impression was confusion. The section on credit cards is so confusing that I am not able to quickly distinguish the differences between each credit card. After further digging, I learn that you cannot even apply for a credit card online, you have to do it in person.
