7 months ago, a bank clerk made multiple credit checks on multiple days for the same credit card application. He made mistakes.

We filed complaints: to him, his branch supervisor, various ombudsman levels all the way to the OBSI. All confirmed in writing the mistake of the bank clerk, and at the same time saying they could not remove the wrong credit checks as they were not system errors but human errors.

At the time, they cost us 22 points - we could document because nothing else changed on our files during that time.

Today, 7 months later, the wrong checks (2) were finally removed. Score bumped up 10 points.

Seems hard checks do drag scores down for longer then 6 months... Something for churners to keep in mind.

I assume you are referring to EQ. I had a much more pleasant experience with TU in a similar sitch. TU removed the pull.

Does the shop.ca promo work per TD Aero card? Or only one per shop.ca account/Aero account?

Per TD Card

Some say TDFCT or Gold Elite may even work, YMMV
I did try 2nd order with TDFCT, it went through too, so far

Prepay car insurance/monthly lease
Buy plane tickets you were gonna buy anyway
If your place allows it, pay rent via cc

Also, 1k in 90 days isnt a lot... You cant get that with regular spend?

Prepay a month or two on any regular bills: cable, phone, insurance, internet, etc.

That and grocery store gift cards is usually what I do......I spend close to $300/month on groceries, so it's really not a problem.

So I got declined for the Capital One IHG today. I contacted them and said it was probably because I already have two cards with them (grandfathered Aspire Travel World and Delta World cards) and that that was the maximum number of their own cards they let anyone hold at any one time. Anyone heard this before or were they just making excuses?

Would TD offer an AF refund if you've received the welcome bonus? Take the TD AP Infinite Prestige 50k for example. Never noticed this card beofre, $400 for 50k isn't even bad

Not sure if this had been posted, but I found an offer for the TD Aeroplan with FYF extended until Oct 31, via Greedyrates.ca:

Shop.ca is irrelevant.

15x Aeroplan bonus promo and still can't find any value. Anyone disagree?

Bought a cast iron skillet for 39 cents after BC taxes, -$50 TD aeroplan promo code and 3k Aeroplan miles.

We can reload Dr Brown's baby bottles and parts using my wife's card later

There is anyways a constant %20 rebate from GCR. This tells you all you need to know about shop.ca and their prices - they can afford to rebate you %20 on anything in their store.
