Loyalty Lesson: Credit Card Spending Caps Explained
We recently posted a Loyalty Lesson that delved into the perplexing 5x points earn rate on the National Bank of Canada World Elite Mastercard. More so, it was a look at the spending cap for the card’s 5x points earn rate and really how convoluted it is. That made us think that we should put together a guide on credit card spending caps as they are quite prevalent in the Canadian market across many of the issuers – not just to National Bank.
Many of the banks also bury the details of spending caps in the foot notes or terms and conditions of their cards making them hard to find. So you can use this guide as quick reference to see what limitations, if any, you may encounter when getting a card.

New Plaza Premium Lounge in Orlando
A few months one of readers commented on a DragonPass post that they were disappointed in the change from Priorty Pass to DragonPass on their credit card as they longer had a lounge to visit in Orlando International Airport (MCO). Well that should change very quickly as Plaza Premium has now opened up a lounge at MCO! It is on Plaza Premium’s website but does not show up on the DragonPass websites just yet. Given their partnership however I would have to wager a strong guess that this lounge will be (or even already is) accessible to DragonPass members. Orlando is a very popular destination for Canadians and accessing this lounge will be great….. for those flying Lynx or Sunwing. The lounge is in Terminal C which currently only houses Lynx and Sunwing from the Canadian carriers that fly to MCO.
Learn more about the new lounge here.
