View quoted message Awesome!! Once you get it don’t forget to go into Priority Pass online and register for that card (free) it gets you into the airport lounges

Great way to look at it! Thank you so much for the suggestion - we applied!

We got the pc financial credit card. we get 30 points for every dollar and every 10,000 points is 10. they also have pc travel so we can use all of our points for holidays and we also get additional discounts on the holidays for using our pc card. last month alone i got $30 in points so by the end of the year ill have an extra $360 to use at least!

View quoted message I have to agree with it being worth the cost. To be honest this is how we thought of it..: we travel atleast 1 time per year. And every time we travel we purchase the medical insurance which has roughly been $200 per person per trip. Years where we travel a few times that adds up very quickly. With the cost of the card being less than one medical coverage per person how could we not get the card.. it saves us money yearly in reality. Plus the coverage is great.

View quoted message I second the suggestion of the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite. As others have mentioned, we choose this card over Amex because Amex isn’t accepted everywhere (e.g the main grocery stores we shop at). We’ve had the card for a year now and have earned $1000 in travel including the $250 welcome bonus. Also they don’t charge you for a second card like other premium cards do. The points plus all the other benefits are way worth the $140 per year.

Amazing way to put towards your honeymoon fund rather than forking out of the pocket.

View quoted message My scotia Amex does that too! I love the option!! I always book through a travel agent so I love getting the best deal and then some money off of my holiday! We paid for our honeymoon with points!

View quoted message Right?! I forgot to mention that it also has a cool feature where you can either book through them online, flights, hotels, packages etc. OR you can book through a travel site like Expedia if it’s better pricing and redeem it online after. That’s what we chose and it was super simple!

PC financial has 30 points for every dollar spent and they now have pc travel where you can use the points for all inclusive holidays/just flights. there are no blackout days either

Actually love ScotiaBank!! They have the best cards!

My in laws have the travel one through CIBC and they love it! They get a ton of points and their last trip was fully paid for

We got the Scotiabank Infinite Passport Visa for the same reason. Honestly the points added up super quickly as we put most of our wedding bills on it along with our monthly reoccurring expenses like phone bills and gym memeberships. We also use it do to groceries which is double the points.

- only card on the market right now that doesn’t have foreign mark ups when traveling abroad (I didn’t know this was a thing but I’m happy I’m not having to pay to use my card when on my honeymoon)
- extensive travel insurance
- accepted nearly everywhere (unlike AMEX which we found we’d have to shop specific places just to use..)
- signing bonus

we’ve put $600 towards our honeymoon already and we’ve only been using it since January.

Any of the Elite/World Elite ones get you high rewards and depending on the card, they also have perks like trip insurance

FH has the President's Choice World Elite.

I have the WestJet MasterCard. With the amount of WestJet dollars I have it should be enough to cover the majority if not all of our flights.

I would say that when I had a Credit Card from RBC their student one was really good - 1 point for every dollar! Ended up using all the points that I had accumulated over the years towards prizes for our wedding social.

View quoted message Ive had it accepted with all my vendors so far except my dress company! A lot better than it was before but of course there’s some exclusions but not enough to hinder me

View quoted message Just be careful because AmEx cards still aren't widely accepted.

WestJet Elite Mastercard! we LOVE it, super amazing!

ScotiaBank American Express! You can use it for travel rewards! Different things give you different points, food and gas are like 3 or 4 points; entertainment is 5 points; and everything else is 1 point per dollar. It adds up quickly to get $$$ off your trip!
