News, Tips & Tricks
I have already made the first update to he Cash
Back Comparison Chart that was released yesterday. The update added in the
Chase Amazon.ca Rewards card.
According to a comment left on my post from last summer about the removal
of Foreign Transaction Fees on Canadian credit cards the MasterCard(s) issued
by Sears will have their foreign transaction fees removed as of July 23. This
change seem logical as the card is issued by Chase who also issues the Amazon.ca
card which happened to be the first publicly available card in Canada with
no FX fees. Perhaps we will even see more Chase cards lose the FX fee like the
Marriott Rewards Visa. Time will only tell but hats off to Chase for bringing
this U.S. Phenomenon to Canada.
In the bonus offer section we see another great offer from Carlson Hotels. This
time it is closer to home (yesterday was for Asia Pacific) where you can earn
bonus points and your 3rd night free at Radisson & Radisson Blu hotels in
North and South America (I tested the offer for Calgary and Canmore and it works),
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The only caveat is that stay has to be paid
for with an American Express card (remember, I stress this all the time as to
one of the reasons you should a Visa, a MasterCard and an American Express card
so that you can take advantage of offers like these!)
