FIS:

60k points posted in my BW account as of today.

Approved for card May 20th or thereabouts.

Any data points on how long to wait after cancelling TD card to reapply? Or is the signup date more important? Cancelled in July, had it just less than 1 year.

i thought it was 6 months from application date of the card. you could apply right after cancellation providing you are 6 months + out.

Chase Marriott Visa signup offer no longer comes with the free night cat. 1-4 certificate.

Saw this today for the RBC BA Visa Infinite card. Is this the best offer out there at the moment? We have a large spend coming up within 3 months so I could easily make the spend. We can use the Avios next year but if there is a better deal out there for a better return, I'm all ears.

I applied for the TD Aeroplan Visa i Dec 2015. Cancelled the Card in Late Aug 2015. Re applied for the card in 3 weeks, got approved last week.

Data point for the RBC Westjet World Elite mastercard:
Applied in August 2015 with annual fee waived as part of VIP banking.
Called to cancel after 1 year once annual fee was applied and had it waived for self and wife's card - I said that wanted to start collecting aeroplan miles.
Had about $35k spend on it in the last 12 months.

Data point on the Best Western Card. I applied for it in mid-July. Took my time hitting the $2k mark...but did it before my third billing cycle, which just hit last week. Looked today and I have the full 60k sign-up bonus in there now.

Phew...now I can put this thing in the drawer. Right now its got a big credit limit on it that i can use to open up my next AS card if need be.

Same here, just got the remaining 40K points after 3rd billing.

You get it waived every year`with the VIP banking package....that's part of the package.

Do bonus points for the BMO World Elite Master Card usually appear on the first statement? Thanks.

After or will it show up on the third statement.

I believe so but I only had VIP banking for 3 months last year.
RBC threw in VIP banking for 3 months when I got my mortgage with them- naturally took advantage and got this card and free cheques and then cancelled it after 3 months.:p

LOL....excellent! ;)
