What is your favorite reward credit card?

[ThePenIsMightier]

More props for the Black Triangle MasterCard (Cdn Tire).

Their bonus offers truly do stack. I just bought a $200 thing there (that was allegedly 40% off) and because I bought something >$150 today it gave me $30 in bonus CT money, plus because I activated some other offer last week of "get $15 bonus CT$ if you spend $60" that was still valid, it gave me that as well. Plus, I still got the normal 4% ($8) in CT$ from the original purchase price.

So I just got $53 (or saved 27%) on a normal purchase and this card doesn't even have an annual fee! And, for no reason, it includes free Roadside Assistance! And you can pay your Calgary property tax with it!!


Edit - or, if you believe their "regular price" is regular, then I saved 55%.
(But that's not all due to the card).

I must have missed the announcement but HomeTrust Visa Preferred no longer offers car rental insurance coverage as of spring this year, still great for oversea travel but will have to rely on my Rogers WE for rental now

Capital 1 better but steal the hundreds of dollars I have earned this year on their program when this card transitions.

Aren't they selling the whole portfolio?

Does it still not include the membership fee?

Nope. That will always be a cash thing. The membership isn't a loyalty program.

[ThePenIsMightier]

It doesn't include the Costco membership fee, but that membership charge shows up directly on my Cap1 bill.

That CIBC costco card doesn't seem that great. I guess I'll keep with the Rogers world Elite until they finish eroding it's benefits.

So does this card work for me if I currently use someone else’s extra membership card?

It’s been about that long that I have been borrowing a membership

[2Legit2Quit]

I think it's fine/good for a no fee card, will prob get it and drop my westjet MasterCard as I only use it at Costco, other cards I have have better earn rates.

I think ill be leaving the cash back cards for more travel related rewards. I was looking at the Westjet ones but they seem sort of 'nerfed'. From what I gather from last few years, Aeroplan seems to be a bit more flexible and you're not limited to just WSJ (aka can go more places). Am I wrong on this?

I do some of my banking with CIBC... Has anyone used this one?

What's confusing is the amount of different cards out there. Anyone used this one? If so let me know how you find it, and if you guys can figure out if there are better ones out there for value.

Tangerine. Open a (free) savings account with them to get a third category and then 2% cb no limits on gas groceries and recurring bills.
