The answer to your question above is still yes as the charges by an authorized user are covered by you and these are posted to your account. Get her spending.

Amex supplementary cards are NOT free for the Plat and Biz Plat MR cards, in case you're not aware. They do have a fee. But for the Gold and Biz Gold cards, they are free or at least FYF.

New TD terms for AI bank plan
Forgive me if this has been reported before. Just logged in to my TD account and received an invitation to apply for their AI chequing account. I notice that the AVI is no longer listed as one of the cards eligible to have the AF waived. Terms now say:
"Subject to credit approval. Annual Fee waiver applies only for the Primary Cardholder of one of the following new (to you) TD Credit Cards – TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card, TD Platinum Travel Visa Card or TD Gold Elite Visa Card – and one Authorized User for the same account for as long as
the All-Inclusive Account remains open and in good standing. All other fees and charges applicable to the selected and approved TD Credit Card Account continue to apply".

You could get the Scotiabank Gold AMEX which comes with 20K welcome points ($200) and is free for the first year at the moment - it gives you 4% cash back for gas, groceries and entertainment. You can apply the credits towards any travel you charge to the card. This includes airport/airline taxes and fees on Aeroplan tickets as long as you charge it to the card. (Aeroplan booking and cancellation fees not included)
The good thing about this card is you can use ANY gas station and double dip with Aeroplan at ESSO, or Air Miles with Shell.

So, I applied for the Scotiabank Gold Amex.
I got an email from Scotiabank saying the card was sent to my nearest branch, and I must make an appointment to pick it up.
Not sure if this will be a 3-minute procedure or an all-out sales pitch for every imaginable Scotiabank product.

Crummy news for me (since I applied for it last month)...
Good news for anyone else...
The welcome offer for the Scotiabank American Express Gold Card has gone up from 20,000 welcome points ($200 in travel) to 25,000 welcome points ($250 in travel).
• $250 in travel (increased from $200).
• 4% on gas, groceries, entertainment spend.
• First year free.
• Very low household income requirement to qualify.
I think this is a great deal.

I've read Scotiabank is a pull from Equifax and, Transunion. Is this accurate?
