I will have a look see, I probably don't want anything to do with Rogers though, and if rewards cb is only redeemable towards a monthly bill or hardware it doesn't help
edit: applying for Home Trust Visa, Rogers/Fido MC only redeems annually if you're not with Rogers, and you will get hit with forex fee when you refund stuff outside Canada

What do you guys thinks of this MBNA rewards card? https://rewards.mbna.ca/
I had the old one with cashback but they took the cashback out and now charges a $39 annual fee

only $39 for new card holders

as far as i'm concerned, nothing's changed.
if you're concerned, call in and ask. if you use the car regularly, just log in and see if the transactions are still giving you cash back.

I need a Visa card with no transaction fee for when I shop south of the border. Costco US only takes Visa. Right now I'm using the Amazon.ca Visa card.
I guess I'll just have to open up a bank account in the US and apply for the Costco US Visa card............. or just be all Asian and carry cash!

Saves you big time long term vs using a 0% forex card people are talking about here because you can stockpile USD and lock in your rates and not even care about bank rates.

This is very comparable to the Amazon.ca Visa. http://go.hometrust.ca/preferred-visa-ca
• No annual fee
• 1% CashBack with no limits to your total rewards
• No restrictions on where you earn your rewards
• Roadside Assist membership at no extra charge
• No foreign currency conversion surcharges

Same for my Marriot card - they're ending the card in Canada. No more one free night in a class 5 hotel every year anymore.

^ Maybe it's due to the huge influx of new applicants since everyone on RFD is applying for the hometrust card

If I didn’t feel the need to keep a Visa I’d dump visa completely in favor for the Costco MC
Wife and I have a joint account just got our Costco rebate cheque.. $1260
And THEN you get the MC cash back check later in the year..
