I have been using the Tangerine Mastercard for a few years now. Pretty decent for no annual fee cash back.
You get 2% back in 3 categories and 0.5 % on everything else. The cash back goes into a Tangerine account and you can transfer it to another bank or apply it against your bill any time.

My friend thinks he got approved for the Home Trust Visa. He said he got sent a PIN code, but no card yet. It took about a month.

Does anyone else have the Scotia Reward cards?
We have one from last year where we got a bunch of bonus points, not sure what the best to spend it on?
The only other points we collect is the PC Points and those are pretty straightforward lol use them on groceries and that's all.

Dumping my infinite Avion once my trip i booked with them is over in May uhgg..
70,000 points to pay off $680 of a trip, which, if i had booked through KLM direct, i would have paid $450 less than the Avion price anyways..
card is a joke unless you're constantly booking travel with it

I don't recommend converting points to pay for trip directly. It never works out in your favor.

Finally found an alternative to the soon to be dead, Amazon.ca Visa card. The US Costco Visa card by Citi Bank. No foreign transaction fee. They're also making it easier for Canadians to apply. They have an address in Blaine where the card gets shipped to. I didn't qualify on the spot, but I was told they would be getting a hold of me for further processing. 4% cash back on gas purchases up to a limit of $7, 000.00 per year. I don't think I would even get close to that, lol.
2% at Costco and 1% everywhere else that takes Visa. Not bad for what it is. So, I guess I pay in CAD at whatever rate it happens to be at on that day with no transaction fee. I'll ask them that when they call me.

In the application, there is a choice of what country you are from.
I've been trying to get this card for quite some time. Every time I apply, they give me free stuff like cooler bags, totes, etc. Today, they gave me a huge tote with freebies inside...... paper towels, bottled water, chocolates, pens, microfibre towel, wipes, etc.
Anyway, if it works out, great!

seems like that Costco visa would be a conflict of interest for costco in Canada since they only back MC here..
interesting to see

Otherwise economy tickets on expensive routes are also a good way to redeem points.

Looks like it's $10 for 1000 points if travel purchase. If other purchase, then it's $7 for 1000 points. Effectively making it a 5% or 3.5% cash back, respectively.
Looks like a great card if you travel a lot
