Has anyone held both USA and Canada credit cards at the same time tied to the same loyalty account? Just want to check the experience and see if there's any program that does not allow such combination?

Specifically, the AMEX SPG, Mastercard IHG/Alaska and Visa Aeroplan/Avios have both US and Canadian issuers.

Yeah, our churn team has SPG, Marriott and Alaska cards on both sides of the border, with no problems. Same loyalty account receives points from Canadian and US cards. The joys of Double Dippin'!

I'd be surprised to see one that does. Every time I've tried, I've been refused and have cancelled the card.

I meant one that doesn't refund you the annual fee even if you ask to cancel the card.

Why wouldn't you want them to refund you?
