I did a secure message as well and yes they are offering 100x plus no limit...so I felt safe with this answer.

Please let us know how and when you rectify the error.

Are you saying you got your 100x bonus confirmed, and not just 100 points? Mind quoting the answer they gave you to your secure message? Or are you still waiting for a response?

I don't wanna spend all the money only to find out it's 100bonus per purchase and an error on the website... If it's 100 per dollar I'm all over this.

Basically pay 250 CAD for a round-trip anywhere in the US, 400 dollar to Europe? 1000 dollars for a round-trip to Europe in J? for sure.

So my experience with RBC Avion is a pretty good one whereby I downgraded to the free RBC rewards card and three months later called in about upgrading back to the Avion card and getting 15k points (not FY though) successfully.

I'm just wondering if i can do that with TD and the Aeroplan card. I did cancel it, though, so I'm thinking of doing this down the road. Get the Aeroplan card, downgrade to something else and then several months later ask to be upgraded back (presumably for best public offer).

Just trying to figure out that "something else" part...could it be any no fee TD card? I'm fine with that.

I like this strategy as it avoids credit pulls and keeps the average age of accounts up.

Has anyone done this with TD?

Another member got it confirmed that it's 100 per dollar... I assume we have a serious case for getting the points or at least a refund otherwise... Since it so clearly states it on the website...

Since AMEX recently (in July) made their sign-up bonus once-in-a-lifetime, which cards are the most churnable for us Canadians?

i.e. What cards award sign up bonuses with no lifetime limit?

Best to post your question in the dedicated Amex Canada forum found here:

I appreciate the effort, but I am specifically asking about Non-AMEX cards.

Thanks. I'll do that next time...a much easier process than re-applying.

Interesting. I haven't tried downgrading on a first-year-free card. Should I downgrade to something like TD Green Visa (a card with, like, zero benefits, then a waiting period?

Do you transfer out your RBC Avion points before downgrading? Wont they turn into like, regular non-FFP-rewards points if you downgrade or not?

I recently switched from the Avion Infinite to the BA card 30k. If I switch back to the infinite could I expect to get the 15k again? And if I then upgrade to the Infinite Privilege will I get the 25k added to my 15k? Then switch back to BA and get 15k/30k again?

Still considering the IHG Cap One card. But I'd like to know does anyone have any experience churning with Cap One? They are stricter on approvals...just wondering how they are on the "rinse and repeat".

Clever how they got potentially a big sign up increase of AF paying customers simply due to a rumor they would dash the card. Where did the rumor originate from? :D

Sorry for having a hard time believing, anyone knows who's the insider here on the forums that launched this idea?

I'm definitely not an insider, but I might be the one who brought the rumour to the forum (see post #2195 in this thread) - I called Cap One in late July about my Delta Skymiles card - whether it would be discontinued for existing cardholders or not. The CSA said that existing cardholders could hold on to and use the card but no new cards would be issued. He then told me that they were planning to do the same with the IHG card, and focus on their co-branding relationship with Costco. That last bit came as a surprise to me since I hadn't seen it anywhere else, so I decided to share the tidbit. Whether it's true or the CSA was making stuff up, I don't know.

No. If you try checking out under fifty bucks, the site will attempt to charge your card 100k (not a typo).

May trigger fraud alert at that point
