Don't know which forum to post, so thought to post it on here as I am Canadian
I have a ~$3000 payment come up in early June that they do not take AMEX, only VISA/MasterCard. I thought about getting VISA or MasterCard gift cards using an AMEX, but those fee (Activation or something else) seems to be a bit too much. Are there any other suggestion for a good sign-up bonus? I didn't want to just pay it with my BMO M/C or CIBC/TD Aerogold.
Thanks.
I'd consider the
National Bank World Elite Mastercard. Terms have changed since I applied.
They now offer a 30,000 point signup bonus. I believe if you spend $4,000, that'll earn you 6,000 more points, which brings you to 36,000. Redemption increments are 12,000 points = $100, so that spend should be enough to redeem to get you $300 in gift cards or a $300 TFSA/RRSP. There's a lot of free baggage and free airport parking benefits that can add up.
(You can also redeem for a lesser amount of points if you want to use their dedicated travel agency.)
