As usual, please let me know if I missed anything!
The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card offer seems like a good deal. The link reveals the offer is extended to March 2018.
Thanks for the list Matthew.
You’re welcome!
Could you potentially add info on what is “normal” bonus for the above cards? For people considering signing up in times when all banks are hungry for Christmas spend, figuring out what gives the biggest advantage compared to usual offer might be useful.
Thanks for the suggestion. Will include this information for the next month!
BMO Air Miles World Elite MasterCard – $120 annual fee (first year fee waived if you apply before April 30, 2018), earn 3,000 sign up bonus Air Miles (if you apply before April 30, 2017).
Is it : 3,000 sign up bonus Air Miles (if you apply before April 30, 2017 or 2018 ?
Good catch Daniel. Should have been 2018.
