Also first year fee is waived. To get the bonus points you have to spend $1500 in the first 3 months.

Also for aeroplan, you still have to pay tax when redeeming your points.

There's limited exception, like a few Biz card that still works. But most of it is gone with it's once-a-life-time signup bonus policy.
