points or know you won’t be using your huge balance of hotel points for
stays to increase the balance in your MileagePlus account. Totally forgot that the UA to SPG ratio changed awhile ago. Of course theAeroplan also runs a similar promo once or twice a year so if AP

Reader Question:
We received this question from one of our readers via email:
“Are you aware of a credit card available in Canada in GBP (British Pounds)”
Now this is one I didn’t have an answer for as it is the first I have
been asked it! I only know of HSBC offering a GBP savings account so I
am reaching out to our readers (and bankers who read the site) whether
any Canadian card issuer offers a GBP credit card?
