Yes, but I wish RBC would join the party with their Privilege card. $399 for 50k avion (transferred to AA) is more valuable to me).

Chase Marriott Visa is notorious for this, the two companies will point the finger at each other saying you have to call the other company. Once the fee is posted, you're SOL. You do get a Cat 5 cert at renewal though, so it's not too bad. Some have attempted to game the system by cancelling as soon as the cert posts (and hopefully before the annual fee) but YMMV on that one.

AP is certainly worth more than AA when sold on the grey market ^

If you're asking whether the credit card issuer is willing to cancel the account and waive the fee...

then the Chase Marriott Visa is the only Canadian card I've ever held where they've resisted waiving the annual fee after the fee posted. And for Chase Marriott, upon issuing their annual fee, they would have already sent instructions to Marriott to credit me with a free night. Between those two companies, their systems aren't built to "undo" that kind of instruction automatically. So I don't blame them for being hardline about it.

But, no, I've never had a problem cancelling any other card, and having the annual fee waived.

Hi, does anyone have a screenshot that has the FYF offer for
CIBC Aerogold Visa Card for Business (FYF till Apr 30th, 2016, 25,000 Aeroplan)?

I got approved, and now the first statement came and I was charged $180 for the AF. I called to have it reversed, but they said they never had the promotion (of course the website now doesn't show the FYF info). I forgot to save a screenshot of the page!

Thank you!

HUCA
rep is wrong

RFD has the screenshot

@jerryhung thank you very much! i will save RFD's screenshot and let the rep know that I have it.

i normally take a screenshot of the page when i apply -- i just forgot to this time -- lesson learned!

it looks like CIBC AEROPLAN BUSINESS FYF is gone, I can only find FYF for Aventure card

CIBC's offer, introduced at the start of April, for $300 cash for opening a new chequing account, seems worthwhile enough.

Need to keep the account open for 12-13 months, and pay a service fee of $4.95 per month most months, but that should net out to over $200.

I'd appreciate feedback.

Anyone know ways a Canadian can get 250 measly AA miles?
Buying 1000miles is $64USD lol

You could try some of the services that offer Aadvantage miles.
Here's the website:
https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...ining/main.jsp.
DON'T shop at the AAdvantage eShopping Mall, which only rewards US customers. The other stores don't mention exclusions in the terms & conditions the way the AAdvantage eShopping Mall does.

If you have a family member / friend in the US, send a small gift.
A $20 gift (+ shipping...) at Personal Creations appears to generate 400 miles.

I haven't tried this myself.

Join e-rewards do surveys redeem for AA miles.

How do you join e-rewards? I don't see a sign-up area.

Do you have an RBC account with RBC rewards points? They transfer to AA.

Finally got the full sign-up bonus for MBNA Best Western
 

It took a couple of months, and a half-dozen emails and phone calls with MBNA/TD customer services, but I finally got the full 40,000 bonus miles posted to my Best Western Rewards account. It was almost not worth the effort, but I saved over $250 on a one night room booking at the BW Plaza near HNL during the Christmas holidays, so I'm satisfied.
