It's interesting to see several other CC's all coming out with ads, trying to attract customers who don't like the uncertainties, and don't like aeropeso's lack of seats of scamcharges.
I'm not sure if there will be a flood.. although there are going to be high spenders that TD and CIBC values for customers within their programs. I hope the banks have enough sense to approve the customers that show a strong spend history. Ultimately, these decisions will affect their bottom line.
