It also now has a 2.5% FX fee.

"Earn 1.75% cash back rewards on purchases in Canadian dollars and 4% cash back rewards on purchases made in a foreign currency."

So basically, 1.5% cashback if you account for their FX fee, which still isn't too bad.

Can anyone find out where it shows that they are charging 2.5% FX now?

No, the FX starts Oct 16: https://rogersbank.com/en/platinum_fees

Good to hear that it is working out for you and hopefully for the others who commented about this previously.

Re my comment... It turns out that I mixed up a couple of hotel chains... please disregard what I wrote.

I called them today as well as only 40,000 points have posted. Assuming one has spent the required $2,000 she said the first 20K comes after the first purchase, the second 20k after $1,000 spend and the third 20k comes at the 3 month mark regardelss of when you made the subsequent $1,000 spend. I guess we'll wait and see.

RFD crowd are reporting that if you spend $2K right away, the initial 20K appear at the first statement, and the remaining 40K come in ONE shot, at the second (or 3rd?) statement.

I spent the $2k the first week. The rep said the final 20k posted at the end of the 3 month period in case of returns, etc. I got the 40k after the first statement (last week). I guess I'll see if the remaining 20k post next month or not.

I was told on the phone that first 20k come immediately (after first purchase), rest comes at 3rd statement. I'm still waiting for that, got another month to go, I have the 20k though.

I just received an email from Aeroplan.com. It says "congratulations, you just earned your 5,000 welcome bonus miles."

It looks as the bonus was from the AMEX AeroplanPlus card (The blue one) but I haven't had this for years and had not applied for one. Could it be possible that someone accidentally entered my Aeroplan # during their application?

I just got a similar message for 51,000 points for my Platinum Amex Aeroplus Card that I got the points for over a year ago and cancelled at least half a year ago.

Quoting myself just because I just went to check again

06/05/2016 PIZZA HUT #31138 20,000 (first purchase)
08/19/2016 Points Earnings 40,000 (with the 3rd statement)

all is well over here!

Did the 51,000 miles actually get credited to your Aeroplan account?

Same, I had to go back to Feb to find the 5,000 :rolleyes:

Aeroplan IT at it's finest.

Both my husband and I got the email (5,000 for the blue Aeroplan card). Though, I track our points. This error bonus was not awarded to our accounts.
