for the BMO elite, do i have to redeem the points through their BMO Rewards website?
Or do I get to call them and tell them to rebate me X dollars on a flight that cost X amount? This was how it was like with AMEx Gold and I found the process awesome.
fuck. i don't think they're wavering the 1st year fee.
I haven't redeem it yet but I was told its thru BMO site

i rocked the Cibc Aero infinite now it's TD area infinite (Crap, only because aeroplan is crap now).
My suggestions is
- Capital One Asipre - TD First class travel infinte
Basically a card that is not specific to one airline and airline group of association
Its all about the flexibility.

if you're single i'd collect aeroplane perhaps via one of the TD or CIBC Visa Infinite products.
bank mad points and use those to redeem flight wisely, in biz or first class.
if you're saving for a family's vacation, get the best capital one card you can get.
i might also consider the Amex Gold for purchase and travel insurance coverage.
Awesome points. As well, i never redeem flight tickets. I just purchase my econ tickets and upgrade it to first/bus class. This gives you the most bang for your buck.

Old thread bump... Going to be dropping lots of $$$ on renos soon, which card should I be using? I've already got about 75k aeroplan miles, should I just keep stacking on top of that?
CSnapper, I'll use your referral link this time around, lol.

I got the info the other day actually. Some trips got more expensive, quite a few dropped though.
Would you use a cash back card or areoplan if you were going to drop a lot of $$$ on renos?

This is what you need - 2% cashback for travel (car rental/airbnb/hotel/flights/etc from ALL purchases, no limits, no b.s. no constraints).

depends on what you value more.
if you want to fly in the front, go with aeroplan. if you're not much of a traveler, and rather have cash, or redeem for anything BUT flights in the front, cash back or other travel cards.

If acceptance works, get the Amex Simplycash Preferred it gives you 5% cash back for the first 6 months.

let's do the math!
you have 75K point now.
how much you spending on the CC? say...$15k?
if you go with AMEX/Aeroplan card, you'll get 25K bonus + 15K points for purchase. netting you 110K points.
that should get you 2 tickets to anywhere in N. America + approx 150$ in fees/ticket.
how does this sound to you?
Sounds good to me, thanks man Send me your referral link!!!
I think the Amex Aeroplan Plus/Gold
https://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/content/aeroplan-gold-card/
...or the Amex Gold Reward Hybrid would be good choices (I'm looking at spending probably 40k or so through the card)

Word up, that's the one I was planning on.. I've churned a few cards so far, it's kinda fun Set 6 month reminders, cancel, wait 6 months, re up! lol
Card won't have a balance and will be paid off every month for sure.
