I emailed GCR regarding the status of the Alaska airlines cash rebate and here is what they said. I will post this on the Alaska airlines Canadian MasterCard thread as well.

"MBNA is in transition to a new computer system. They should be back shortly however cash back rebates for MBNA cards may not be back till November."

Just in case there is someone else like me who might have missed it over the long weekend, lily23 noted in the TD Aeroplan thread in the AC forum that there is a FYF underway until October 31 on the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite.

15K for the signup and an extra 10K if you spend $1,000 in the first 90 days. TD's website says it's FYF although if you read the fine print it implies that the fee will be rebated within the first few months.

That makes perfect sense. All the MBNA rebates are gone. This computer system change has set everything back literally weeks. But I believe the rebate will be back.

Thank you for this, heraclitus. I've missed lily23's post over the long weekend indeed. Thanks to you too, lily23!

You're welcome! I should add that it was pointed out that apparently the offer does not apply if you've had this card within the last 6 months. (I'm pretty sure I cancelled mine less than 6 months ago - d'oh.) I applied before I realized this.

I just saw this offer - not first year free, but offers hotel credit instead.

This is great, lily23! The $250-400 hotel credit sounds very good, indeed! ^

I've never seen this website before. It takes you to TD offers and a contest as well.

if I can get the FYF by opening a TD bank account and get that Aeroplan Visa plus the $250 hotel credit, that could be a no brainer.

If you're talking about the TD All inclusive banking plan, it doesn't waive the fee on the TD Aeroplan card.

Annual Fee waived for your choice of one of three select
TD Credit Cards2(opens new window)(opens new window): TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card, TD Platinum Travel Visa Card or TD Gold Elite Visa Card

I see there are offers to add supplementary Gold Cards for bonus points but when I look at my Aeroplan Plat Amex card, it seems I have to pay $50 for each supp card whereas the Aerogold gets up to 9 free for a year and the Gold MR gets 2 free.
Is the fee for supp card for Amex Aeroplat ever waived?

As for the TD Aeroplan Infinite hotel collection $250 credit, I could easily use that as I've booked through the Infinite concierge before. It would be nice to combine it with the no annual fee offer. http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/product...te-card/ac.jsp
It says on the left that this card is right for you if you want no annual fee for the first year.

Amex has a deal on Fairmonts where you get a 3rd or 4th night free, depending on properties and $25 resort credit. Fairmonts are also a Visa Infinite property (not all of them though) and you get late checkout, $25 hotel credit, auto upgrade and in my case, I've gotten better rates than through other promo codes, including FPC codes.
