Lapsing & expired offers
RBC® British Airways Visa Infinite
The offer for the RBC® British Airways Visa Infinite...
an additional 35,000 Avios when you spend $9,000 CAD in your first three months,
lapsed after May 31, 2017 (as expected).
I don't see any other offer in its place... just the base 15,000.
Air Miles Mega Miles
Until May 31, 2017: Air Miles Mega Miles promo: 1250 Air Miles ($131), for some relatively easy spending requirements. This is not credit card related.

I've done it once for the 50k. But the card was also very useful for me to save 10% on BA flights. If you're travelling with your family, for example, that can add up to a pretty big saving. And, incidentally, paying for that trip on the BA card gets you get 2x BA points on BA ticket purchases and that kind of trip will get you going on the $9k spend.
Not for everyone, but the card worked for me in the past and I'll likely get it again.

Yes, the $9k is insane. But it can work for some people, especially if you can time it around some big expenses (insurance premiums, home project, etc.)

Not looking forward to the dip from signing up BMO World Elite/Chequing/Savings account offer yesterday though, but its worthwhile for those Priority Pass Lounge passes (the lounge at YEG is actually not too bad) and the travel credit
