If you are planning on shopping online from some U.S. retailers check

portals:

United MileagePlus

Tier 1 bonus: 500 miles for qualifying purchases of at least $100; Tier 2
bonus: 1,500 miles for qualifying purchases of at least $350; or Tier 3
bonus: 2,500 miles for qualifying purchases of $600 or more.

Many of the U.S. retailers on those portals do ship to Canada or you can always utilize a U.S. address forward service like like Stackry (this referral link will give you and us $10 towards the next shipment) or Reship
(Use our referral code 442I141PA to save $10 on your first service with
Reship, we will also receive $10) to have your U.S. only shipments sent
to and then forwarded to Canada. Remember as well to utilize a No Foreign Transaction fee credit card on those purchases to save you 2.5% on average over other credit cards.


PaySimply has added several more categories of
payment options where you can use your credit card to pay for
bills/merchants that don’t typically take credit cards. Those categories
are rent and childcare costs (i.e. dayare tuition) plus private school
tuition. PaySimply charges a 2.5% fee so for more rewards cards this
isn’t rewarding as your fee is more than the rewards you earn except for
cards that can provide an outsized value such as Aeroplan or Marriott
cards. Visit PaySimply to learn more.
