    The offers I've been getting on Amex are sick lately! This year alone, I've got at least 2 x "Buy $500 in groceries, get $500 in a credit back", as well as 3 x "Buy $250 in Food Delivery Service (Uber Eats), get a $250 credit back". Had a bunch of those as well last year to the tune of $2000+ in credits.

    Right now, I have 2 offers loaded on drinking/food:
    -5 Bonus MR for every $1 spent on Dining
    -10 Bonus MR for every $1 in Eating and Drinking

    I spent $68 the other night on Swiss Chalet delivery, and got 1,100 MR points... Not bad at all! This would have normally netted me 85 MR only.

    Right now I also have a Shop Small/Local. Buy $10 and get a $5 Credit up to 5 times I think.

    If you have an Amex, make sure you check your offers regularly!

    ^Is that on a platinum or centurion? Those strike me as offers that you don't get with a pleb card.

    Damn that’s good. I regret giving up my Gold card if this is offered to that as well!

    These offers are for Centurion, but I have a family member with a Platinum card and they've got some pretty crazy offers I've been jealous of which I didn't get. I also checked a few of my other Amex cards on the app (Small Biz Credit Card, and some weird Blue one) and they had some pretty cool offers that were different, but I never use those and have no idea where the physical card is (in storage somewhere).

    Yea, they've been really good during COVID and everything...

    I just want more MR... Early 2020 they had some crazy promos to earn and spend MR. I earned a ton and got a ton of value back. Hoping to rack up as much as possible to use on some biz-class flights using their fixed points for travel program when international travel lights up!

    I actually just dumped all of my MR points over the Aeroplan. I'm not sure Amex loves customers like me, and they have been dumping people and forfeiting their MR points.

    Is Rogers WE MC still the best everyday card? It dropped from 1.75% to 1.50% and has a 15K minimum spend now but still seems good if you can meet that?

    You'll need to keep it for 2 years to obtain the 150

    Nice card to have. Lat year I went through a platinum for myself and my wife, and then the business platinum for myself and my wife. The perks were decent. I think I'll be coming up on a million AP points or something later this year just from churning amex over the last 18 months or so.

    Jesus that's a lot of points. Is it still best to transfer to Airline points (AP). Cause AmEx flex conversion is kinda shit.

    I transferred to AP. Amex points are more flexible than AP, but they are also at risk that Amex can yank them if they decide to cancel you're accounts. They do this if you go through too many cards sometimes. Google "amexile"

    There are better cards now, and if you travel (which that card was originally geared towards), it's now one of the worst cards out there in that category after they ruined it last June.

    If you just want straight cash back, there are cards that are 2% on everything OR 1-1.5% on everything but 2-4% on restaurants, groceries, recurring bills, etc. so you would have to do a bit of analysis on your personal spending to see what's better.

    If you want it primarily for travel, Scotiabank Passport or HSBC World Elite are the best I found for a combination of rewards and no foreign FX fees.

    The Rogers card is pretty bad now unless your primary concern is no annual fee + free secondary card, which is the one good thing about it still.

    .
    Looking for straight cash back as I don't want to bank travel points in case I don't end up using it. Are you referring to SimplyCash Preferred Card AE for the 2%? I would also need secondary card for my wife.

    I'm sorry, but the annual fee on a Centurion card exceeds twelve hundred dollars, does it not?
    It's not really selling me to get $50 or $100 here & there so that in as little as 20~ish transactions, I could have my annual fee paid for when cards that cost one tenth of that can pay for themselves in one single, fairly normal transaction.

    It's a bit like "hey guys - I got a free detail on my F40 after my biannual servicing appointment... Which cost $45k..."

    I think the card is more about "just snagged a zero-mile LFA from a dealership in La Jolla using my card".
    And less about, "yeah boyz - I gotta BOGO on some Jack Links from the Spray & Save!"

    The % ROI on a free credit card is very good yes.

    But the net dollar return on a premium card is often much much much higher.

    A Centurion annual fee is not likely justifiable from a $ return on perks perspective, and last thing I read said the annual fee was closer to $5k?

    It's second to none from a dick swinging perspective though
