News, Tips & Tricks
The Cash Back Credit Card wars continue! Recently TD revamped their cash back offerings and now we have RBC launching the RBC Cash Back Preferred World Elite Mastercard. Here is a quick overview of what it offers. We’ll cover the card more in the upcoming days
Limited Time Offer: Earn up to 1.75% cash back for 6 months on EVERY thing you buy
– Earn up to 1.5% after the promo period on all your purchases
– Get unlimited cash back, no limit to what you can get back*
– Stay connected with Boingo‡ Wi-Fi at one million hotspots worldwide
– Premium purchase protection for 120 days
– Extended warranty triples the manufacturer’s original Canadian warranty
– Protect your rental car with Auto Rental collision/Loss Damage Insurance
– $99 Annual fee
Just looking at this quickly, it seems OK but definitely not as good on the earn side when looking at cards like the mbna Rewards World Elite Mastercard and the SimplyCash Preferred Card from American Express. It looks like they are really trying to appeal to people who buy lots of items where the extended warranties and purchase protection plans are coveted.
British Airways will be adding flights between Toronto
and London Gatwick starting in May of next year. These 3x weekly flights
will complement BA’s mulitple daily flights between Toronto and
Heathrow. Always good to have more options to use those Avios up even
though these flights will have heavy surcharges on them. (Source British Airways)
