While it's possible to apply for an American Express card, use it just enough to earn the bonus, and cancel before the annual fee is due on renewal, this may prove challenging for someone spending only a few hundred dollars per month.

I think we need to focus on a Mastercard or VISA to use for everyday shopping. Is CIBC Aerogold VISA Infinite the best non-Amex card for earning Aeroplan miles in Canada? Are there Mastercard or VISA products for OneWorld (e.g. AA) or SkyTeam (e.g. DL)?
