Not a stupid question, since it's not an easy answer. The "big print" is that the credit can be applied against any Rogers charges on your card. But the "fine print" allows you to request it as a cashback (or it might be a statement credit) each December. I've never actually tried the latter since I have a Fido bill that more than covers the credit each month, but I think others have posted that they have got it back in December.

Alaska mileage points question....What is the best card to apply for to transfer points to Alaska. I already have mbna Alaska & I see that SPG has gone to $$ for sign up not points. Is there another card? Cobalt looks like it takes a year to get the sign up points? Thanks for your help!

Are the Cobalt & Gold rewards cards the only ones with sign up points from amex right now that transfer to SPG? And they are 2:1 correct?

Hey all - long time lurker, first time poster
Has anyone recently applied for the 20k SPG signup bonus for the SPG Amex intended for previous marriot visa holders (however it is publicly available)
Cant post the link yet but if you google "HURRY – Last Chance to get the Starwood American Express Credit Card!" you'll see it on the Canadian kilometers blog, which sends you to amex official website with the offer still there.
I've never had an SPG Amex before (didn't have the marriot visa either) and i'd like to apply if I would be able to actually get the 20k points. The statement credit isn't worth it, and I already have Amex Cobalt and Biz Plat, so I'd only want this for the 20k SPG.

Why doesn't YYZ get any "love"?
After reading that YVR is getting a Lufthansa A350 flight I wondered why Toronto never gets the good planes/first class/good airlines. Consider:
Perhaps it's a simple explanation.
Cathay only does business class (YVR gets first via New York flights)
Korean doesn't provide their Kosmo suites in first
Lufthansa doesn't offer first class
There are no A350s to/from YYZ (although Philippine Airlines indicates it will in 2018)
It doesn't get ANA, JAL, Singapore, Swiss (not enough demand? AC monopoly?)
