I still like the Rogers card for FX. 2.5% charge but 4% cashback, no annual. Their new cashback system works really well too.

Ultracrepidarian
Just got a letter saying they are changing the rewards on Scotia Amex and imo for the better. No more FX fee and 5X cashback on dining, entertainment, groceries and gas (from 4X). Very excited for the change.
What is this sorcery? I'm searching online for more info and no mention of it. Was it email sent to your email address? Or the email in your RBC messaging centre? I can't find anything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

AF goes up from $99 to $120
Grocery, Dining, Entertainment up from 4x to 5x
Gas down from 4x to 3x
Daily transit, select streaming services new at 3x
No forex fee, but also no multipliers on foreign transactions. So if you previously dined at a US restaurant, you would've gotten 4% minus 2.5% forex fee = net 1.5% reward. Now there's no forex fee, but you only earn 1% cash back, so 1% net reward.

Looking around
Wondering what became
Of what I once knew
The new amazon.ca card is live now. It's a MasterCard this time around through MBNA. No annual fee, 2.5% back at Amazon and whole foods (5% for first 6 months at amazon, whole foods, and restaurant/grocery), 1% back everywhere else, and 2.5% back on foreign currency transactions (essentially making it zero as the FX fee is 2.5%). IMO it's better to just not pay the FX fee rather than wait for cash back, so that is a downgrade.
If you're not a Prime member the Amazon cash back is 1.5% not 2.5%.
I'm pretty sure it's not actual cash back, but Amazon gift cards/credit.
I think I'll just stick to the Home Trust Visa even though I hate that it doesn't have tap.

The new cards have tap. My MIL just got one and it does have tap. You can probably call and have them issue you a new card.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
looks like the leak was pretty accurate. don't think i'll be getting it. i don't shop enough at amazon / whole foods to make the extra 0.75% worthwhile for me (compared to my 1.75% CB card).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Interesting, thanks for that - I will give them a call.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Card might be donezo, folks reporting their card has disappeared from their accounts and MBNA and Amazon pulled the applications for the card.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's possible - it's not on my amazon landing page anymore. Weird that they would pull it after 1-2 days, I wonder what happened.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

We're sorry, but the application for this card is temporarily unavailable. Please check back later.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Anyone try the Tangerine Cash Back Credit Card?
They keep sending me letters with deals. Currently its 4% cash back for 3 months (on select categories)
Currently have a TD Aeroplan Infinite Visa and it has served me well with quite a few travel trips.
I have been using it in my roster for probably 2 years or so. I have racked up 1200$ in rewards.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I use it exclusively for the 3 categories @ 2%.

Pretty shitty otherwise at 0.5%. And i like that it autopays monthly from my savings acct. no more late payments for me.
scotia momentum just changed their terms, jacked the annual fee, doesnt work well for me now, what's the best visa out there for gas/groceries (cash back, i prefer cash over rewards)? i mostly use my rogers MC anyway except gas and groceries... but i need a visa as well just in case.

The Visa Infinite (is this the card you're chatting about) seems to have gotten better, no? The added travel cancellation insurance and mobile insurance, but raised the interest from 19.99 to 20.99. NBD. Am I missing something?
they dropped gas to 2% and increased the AF by $20 for both primary and additional cards, i only use it for gas and grocery (that i dont buy at costco and almost always shop at costco which is an MC shop) so this is a big hit for me, wont even break even with it now that its $170/yr for AFThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Also i never liked scotia.

Almost all my monthly bills are auto paid by my visa infinite and they are more than my gas expense so this change works for me.
