only shitty thing is US costco doesn't take MC only VISA

I just got my e-mail that the Home Trust Visa was approved. That was faster than I thought, lol.
EDIT: I reread the e-mail. It stated, approved and card has been mailed.

for the people who are telling us "it didn't take that long," do you mind actually saying how long it took?

Well, I received the PIN in the mail, but no card yet.
BTW, I applied on the 14th of May or there abouts.

Brim will likely be my main card next year when I cancel my AMEX card, for the no FX fee benefits.
There's a member here who actually finished the process for Brim.

Sounds shady af
I would suggest Rogers MC for no-fx cc (technically 2.5% fee but 4% cashback).... at least the chances of Rogers going down is a lot smaller than some shady ass financial company.

So the CB on Rogers/Fido card is useless, because afaik it applies as Rogers/Fido points?

Last time when I did it, I went to the points / rewards section of the page, changed a setting somewhere that says "Apply points to my next purchase". Then I ran my purchase through, and voila~ The points gets applied to that next purchase I did.
According to the Rogers website, you can also retroactively apply points to a purchase that you have already made, but I haven't tried that yet.
Also, a note to point out regarding jackmeister's comments on the no-fx cc (technically 2.5% fee but 4% cashback) -- bear in mind that they are watering down this perk into something that is no longer very meaningful some time in late May. Instead, the same perk (2.5% fee + 4% cashback) is reserved for their higher tier card that requires some sort of high income. This makes the Rogers MC no longer attractive, which is why people are saying they want the HT VISA instead.

Has anyone switched to the "high income" Rogers/Fido Mastercard yet? I've yet to call in to ask for it but I'll probably do it this week.
Is anyone using it right now? Did you keep the same CC number?

The bonus rewards activates sometimes late May and you get a new card in June. It is a different number.
