updated the wiki to add RBC Avion - you can easily get them to give you FYF by calling. they have bi-annual BA 50% promo so fyf + 22.5k... not horrible for canada, aside from amex.

I assume you mean the Aventura (CIBC). I have it. I would not recommend it. Hard to get more then 1cpp which is very low. Best value I got was on a flight to Israel (1.5cpp), if you already have points and want tips on redeeming you can shoot me a PM, if you are just considering it I would certainly look elsewhere. CIBC has no lucrative cards really.

Unless you know "a thing or two" about Amex

Even with its devaluation I think that the Capital One Aspire Travel World Elite Mastecard is still #1 in Canada:

Effective 2% cash back towards travel... Except there is a workaround to redeem for actual cashback. PM for details.

Cap 1 pulls from both bureaus and requires that you haven't applied for any cards within 3 months.

If you have a use for Alaska miles, however, you can consider the MBNA Alaska card.

Can you PM with details.

Regarding the cards that require a minimum annual income, can you just write whatever you wish or they can see your income or it can have some other problems?

RBC BA card now offers 30k Avios - 15k upon enrollment, another 15k after $5k spend within 2 months. $165 AF. Offer ends June 30.

Last time this came around the same time as the 50% Avion:Avios bonus. Hoping to see it June 1st.

RBC's website still shows the 15k offer, but you can get the 30k from BA's website:

Might be a good time to product switch.

Opened up a BMO World Elite MC. $300 welcome bonus. After I use that I will transfer to the BMO World Elite Airmiles MC which just launched.
