This is probably not the best spot for this question, but I figured the response time would be fastest. What's your experience been with time to convert RBC Avion to AA points? I just did a transfer and it said up to 4 weeks. Hope that's not the case.

No more referral bonus from the Amex personal gold :(
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective January 11, 2016, this Card is no longer eligible for a referral bonus. You can still refer the Card to your friends and family but you will not earn a referral bonus for any approved referral. |

Being what it is, I believe the Amex Gold rewards card will be discontinued. Cuts to sign up, and now to referals; no one will sign up for the card anymore.

Amex Gold and Platinum exist in every single market where Amex operates. No chance they will ever discontinue it.
Remove the low value customers ($500 annual spend) and pushing hard for new markets is where they are going. They are pushing it extremely hard to CPAs, with advertisements and sponsorships all over the place, plus a preferred rate of $99 annual fee after the first year. They want people to be using the card, not churning the card. Even with the additional competition in the US, Amex moved to a one signup per lifetime policy. Low value customers are exactly that. |

If Amex manages to rid itself of the small percentage of cardholders who are just looking for signup bonuses or referrals, they'll do just fine. Churners do not dictate the market.

Sorry but the only reason I use amex is because of the bonuses. The acceptance isn't great, so if they don't have that... Why would I want to bother

Amex made a huge mistake by giving up on Costco. That was pretty much the only reason a lot of Canadians bothered with Amex.

I don't know much about ApplePay but it's an RFID/contactless type system. I can count with my fingers how many times I've been able to just "tap" with my Amex. Even the Petro Canada pumps wasn't reliable as I had to get back in the car to move pumps after trying to tap my Gold card once. It froze the pump's CC system apparently.
