The whole TD-CIBC-Aeroplan (Aimia) love triangle is making waves in the news again today!

News, Tips & Tricks

Here is my post from this morning about the latest news on the TD
Canada Trust-CIBC-Aeroplan (Aimia)
deal. You will also be able to find some of my answers to many questions about the deal on the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star and Global TV today.

In the bonus offer section you’ll see a Free Rental Day promotion from National Car Rental. With the addition of this promotion we are pleased to announce the launch of the Emerald Club Bonus page on Rewards Canada.

Reader Question:

We received this question from one of our readers via email:

“I wonder if you
take phone calls or emails from clients asking you to help them pick a
credit card. I have read your website, but still find myself confused
about whether I should be getting a Hybrid card or a Travel Points card
with an annual fee. I was hoping to discuss my particular situation with
someone, if that is a service you offer.”

Rewards Canada does provide this service via email and we have helped many people via this method! Simply contact us via our contact page to get the ball rolling.
