I don't have the Roger's Mastercard so I'm going to have to wait a couple months before I can apply for it, but that's the plan for now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I applied for my Home Trust card in January and just got it last week. Not being able to change the pin is a huge pain but it seems as though their stupid website is incompatible with MINT...so I am locked out of the online portal tooThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Cashback has some conditions same as the current Platinum... it's cashback any time against Rogers products (bills, phones, accessories, blue jays tickets, etc), but if you want true cash back you can do it once per year if you call them in the fall and they apply a statement credit on your January bill.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

So if you have a monthly Rogers bill it's essentially a monthly cashback like most other cashback cards, but if not then it's once per year cashback.
^Ah OK, that'll work, it's a pain in the ass that it's only once a year but it lines up well with Christmas bills. How did you guys get notified about the option to switch? I haven't seen an email yet, nor anything when I log in to check my account.
I got the email about a month ago, clicked the link, and said it was successful.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I was reading on the RFD thread that people have been able to call in to the customer service line and get upgraded. Try that if you haven't seen the email (and checked yoru junk mail folder)
Amex platinum, Westjet elite, TD infinite are the ones i have, love them all for different reasons.
But I think all of your cards have 1 common reason, they all owned by a baller.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Can’t change the pin but it takes 5 seconds to commit another pin to memory and you’re good to go.

That's my card too. I put my divorce on that thing so I had multiple free flights for 4 years! I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that!?

Westjet $120, but companion ticket, waived baggage alone already pays for itself
Amex $700, $200 annual travel credit, and other perks i would normally have paid for, doesn't work out to be that bad
I didn't realize this until earlier this week, but Roger's opened up for new applicants for this card and I got the email this morning that I was approved. I still think nothing tops the Amazon card, but this will have to do for now.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Why do you prefer the Amazon Visa over the Rogers WE MC? I actually prefer the Rogers WE as you net an additional 1.5% back on forex purchases (as opposed to 0% on the Amazon Visa) and the WE benefits. Of course I have been a Rogers customer for almost 20 years so I don't really mind the cash back on Rogers bills.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think you answered your own question - there are limitations on the redemption as it isn't straight cash. I think you can apply for straight cash, but then I believe you get it once per year and that is annoying (that's how it used to work, anyway). Basically they make it a hassle for you unless you pump the money right back into Rogers. Maybe their new cards are better but I haven't looked into them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also the Amazon card wasn't 0%, it was still 1% cash back on all purchases including foreign purchases on top of the zero FX fee, or 2% for any transactions done through Amazon (foreign or otherwise) on top of the zero FX fee. If I recall, the only difference between the two cards for normal purchases was 0.5% and only if you wanted to spend that money on your Rogers/Fido bills.
The Home Trust card is the same as the Amazon card pretty much, but wait times are brutal because of the huge backlog created when Chase pulled out of Canada.

I was going to get the Rogers WE MC but it's just a pain in the ass to have another credit card, so I'm just going to eat those FE fees to keep things simple. I figure I'll spend $5-7000CAD in Europe, and that works out to be $125-175 in fees. It's not that bad in the whole scheme of things.
Has anyone ever dealt with Theft insurance on a Credit Card?
I had a camera lost/stolen (within the 90 days after purchased) while in europe so I submitted my claim and now they just sent me a letter that they want a notarized letter stating that the camera was lost/stolen. Has anyone else encountered this while dealing with a credit card?
I have not from a credit card but it isn't uncommon for insurance claims for lost/stolen items to require something that decreases the chances of a fraudulent claim. They also often want a copy of the police report that you would have filed. Basically since fraudulent claims like that are so easy to make, they are trying to attach some accountability to it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
What card is it?
I've been thinking about ditching the RBC Westjet Mastercard and going to the TD Travel Visa or even a cashback card. The fiancee and I rarely travel and if we do, the WJ dollars are only good towards the base fare.
