Building a house so may as well get a mucho returno credit card going with the most rewards for the entire life savings I’m about to spend lol.
Right now, Hyatt is the only hotel rewards program worth a damn; challenge is no Canadian card transfers to em.

If you wanna go full ham, I'd find a way to get an ITIN and get started on some Chase cards

Not to hijack this thread but similar question.

Does anyone have a suggestion for best bank account, by that I mean no monthly fees and free ATM, e-transfers. I know you prob have to keep balance over a certain amount but are there any such accounts?
IIRC, BMO's all-inclusive account is free with 6k balance.

TD's all inclusive plan is free as well at a $5k monthly balance. If you can maintain a $5k balance then the big banks are all the best bets - just a matter of who has a branch/ATM near you or if you already bank with them in other ways. Most of the big banks will also cover the annual fee on one of their premium cards - I get my TD Aeroplan card for free.

If you can't keep a balance then Tangerine works just fine as a free account especially if you have a Scotia ATM/branch near you.

EQ Bank - https://www.eqbank.ca/personal-banking/personal-account
No monthly fees
Free ATM anywhere in Canada
Free e-transfers
No minimum balance required

So EQ is like Tangerine ... except with the Levy father-son as their face of the bank except with different features.

Here's a comparison chart of the two

Yes, similar but they have their differences. As they say. Pick your poison.

I've been using EQ Bank for a number of years. So far, so good.

I flip $ between EQ and Tangerine depending who has better rates at any given time. Works good.

Ballin'! :ahwow:

Just realized HSBC is going to cancel the World Elite MC.
That's my MAIN card which I love it very much.

What's the closest alternative
If you are a current holder of the HSBC WE MC, you would've received a transition package to RBC and a new RBC Avion visa (that includes the same terms for 1 year as the HSBC MC) card.

But you can't use them at Costco Canada! It sucks as that was my Costco card.

I ended up with the Rogers Mastercard now that my HSBC card is gone.

Quote:
World Elite MC (starting on April 9, 2024):
- 3% on purchases in USD.
- 1.5% on everything else if you have no Rogers/Fido/Shaw Services.
- 2% on everything if you have at least one Rogers/Fido/Shaw service.
- 1.5x bonus when you redeem on any Rogers/Fido/Shaw purchase charged to the card. It equals to 4.5% (4.5% - 2.5% FX Fee = net 2% return) on purchases in USD and 3% on everything else when you have at least one Rogers/Fido/Shaw service.
- 5 Roam Like Home days for free every card membership year (Rogers mobile customers only)

Originally I was going to live with the Avion Visa until realizing I still need a Mastercard for Costco.

That's a very solid card as a #2 card (after the Cobalt). If I didn't spend so much on Amazon (I use the MBNA Amazon MC) I'd consider that as my standard MC.

The Rogers mastercard made it to this guys top 7 list

bcrdukes 05-08-2024 05:15 AM
Hmm your link went to a BMO card video.

SSM_DC5 05-08-2024 07:10 AM
K, try again. I think it copied the link to the ad after the video finished
