The applications for the Canada Card will look similar to the applications of the US card with two important differences:
1. The Canada applications will have the Platinum card (instead of Signature) on the front.
2. In the top right hand corner there will be a yellow triangle that says "Canada".
Hey Missy, Great news for our Canadian friends. You indicted mile/dollar. Is that 1 mile per Canadian dollar spent? That sounds like a heck of a deal! Still issued by BofA, or a Canadian bank? And I assume that as Canadians have had difficulty getting the US version, that US folks would probably face the same challanges with the Canadian version.
