I'm not sure it's worth spending the annual fee when I can't use it so easily. AMEX users, was it the same for you?

@bmabnorth @jerry305 I also called for the 500 points promotion with TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite and was told that it wasn't available

My favorite card to use so far is still the Capital One Aspire Travel. 120$ annual fee, 10K points on anniversary every year = 100$, so the card ends up costing 20$ a year. 2 points per 1$ spend. Downside, can't seem to recommend it to friends. Anyone knows if we can earn points by recommending this card?
You didn't ask this BEFORE you got the AMEX SPG card and pay the $120 fee? :P

You should ask in the AMEX Thread here

Pre-pay your bills, insurances, buy gift cards (Gas/Grocery), $500 is easily met
