RWRDS Daily Update – December 11, 2023

Here’s your RWRDS Canada update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

Updated: The Ultimate Aeroplan & Air Canada Credit Card Portfolios

Continuing on with updating RWRDS Canada features that featured the HSBC World Elite Mastercard are our Ultimate Aeroplan and Ultimate Air Canada Credit Card portfolios. Both of these portfolios had the HSBC card as the recommended Mastercard but as the card is no longer available we have gone ahead and switched it out.

For the Aeroplan portfolio we went the Rogers World Elite Mastercard and for the Air Canada portfolio it is the Brim World Elite Mastercard.

In all honesty, for many of these portfolios the Mastercard option is open to almost any card as it is the least used of the three options. I think you’ll find that anywhere the HSBC card has been featured you can pretty much expect it to be replaced with the Brim World Elite Mastercard, Desjardins Odyssey World Elite Mastercard, MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercard or the Rogers World Elite Mastercard.
