Chexy now accepts Mastercard, helping more Canadians earn rewards on rent, utilities, taxes, insurance, childcare, tuition, and more through the platform.

Marriott Bonvoy members can earn 5,000 bonus points after one eligible stay by linking an Emirates Skywards account and registering before September 30, 2026.

Aeroplan has a new transfer partner – World of Hyatt. You can transfer Hyatt points at a 2:1 ratio to Aeroplan. Aeroplan Elite members can also transfer points 2:1 to Hyatt.

Soon, you'll be able to transfer American Express Membership Rewards to ALL Accor at a 2:1 rate. This will be one of the best transfer options in the program.

Aeroplan points now offer an average value of 1.6 cents per point when redeemed for flights. This value is down from 2 cents, shaking up credit card earn rates.

When comparing the perks and features of the Amex Cobalt Card and the MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercard, the American Express card comes out on top.

The Scene+ program is a valuable rewards program, but you can earn even more points with a Scene+ credit card from Scotiabank or Tangerine. Choose from 5 cards.

Best Western Rewards earns you free nights and other travel redemptions, with no blackout dates, plus you can transfer points to Aeroplan, Lifemiles, etc.

Turo Canada is a peer-to-peer car-sharing service that allows you to rent vehicles from individuals throughout Canada (and select countries around the world).

If you want to grow your credit card cash back, move it to a high-interest savings account. Neo makes it easy to move money and earn interest on top of rewards.

The Air Canada Aeroplan rewards program is a valuable way for frequent flyers and credit cardholders to earn points when booking flights, hotels, car rentals, and more.

Maximize your American Express Membership Rewards by using the Fixed Points Travel Program or transferring to partners like British Airways and Aeroplan.

The TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege outclasses the American Express Aeroplan Reserve thanks to Visa’s benefits and widespread acceptance.

Credit card issuers charge an overlimit fee if you borrow more than your limit. This is meant to discourage you from consistently exceeding your card’s limit.

The Amex Cobalt vs. TD Aeroplan comparison is tricky, as both are excellent cards, but the Cobalt has a significantly higher earn rate and easier approval.

◊ The creditcardGenius algorithm, based on our Rating Methodology, calculates an estimated dollar value for all rewards and bonuses by combining typical monthly spending with well-researched reward point value estimates. "Annual Rewards" is calculated by combining our default $3,000 in monthly spending ($36,000 annually) spread across 8 different spending categories (gas, groceries, travel, etc) with our point value estimates. "Welcome Bonus" is calculated by combining all one-time bonuses available to new cardholders within the first year with our point value estimates. To qualify for the full bonus you may need to make purchases, meet minimum spending requirements, or complete special actions. "Annual Interest Savings" is based on a credit card balance of $8,000 and a standard credit card interest rate of 19.99%. Annual Rewards, Welcome Bonus, and Annual Interest Savings values will change if the person adjusts their monthly spending away from the $3,000 monthly default or changes their reward preferences.
