Getting American credit cards means you must have a US address as issuers will not ship to foreign addresses. Short of buying a house in (unless you live in Vancouver, in which one Vancouver house buys many US houses) you will have to receive mail another way. Getting a US Address The method with the…

My Experience with American Express Global Transfer
American Express is great. They are my favourite financial and credit card issuer, and they have fantastic rewards and offers. To select a card, see my post for recommendations on the best American Express Cards. However, in addition to that, all cardholders have a fantastic benefit called the AMEX Global Transfer program, as long as…
An Interesting New Premium Credit Card
I’ve written a lot about my favourite credit cards in Canada. The best ultra-premium credit card is still the American Express Platinum, with exceedingly better travel benefits in any dimension. However, it looks like there’s a new MasterCard that’s very neat – the (new) HSBC Premier World Elite MasterCard. There are benefits that make this card unique…
RBC Apple Pay – The Best Promotion Ever!
Apple Pay has been in Canada for a while, although there hasn’t been too many promotions to use it. I used to MS a bit with Apple Pay, so I always kept my ears out for any bonuses. So I got quite excited when I saw a bonus for RBC Apple Pay transactions. RBC Apple Pay…
Which American Express Card to Get?
American Express is my favourite card issuer in Canada. Their cards have great rewards and benefits, and they always have excellent customer service.

Scotiabank AMEX Gold Offer Extended!
One of the rewarding cards out there is the Scotiabank Gold American Express. It is one of only two cards letting you earn up to a 4% return on your purchases, the other being the Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite. What I love about the Scotiabank AMEX Gold is that it not only has a great…
A No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Card with No Annual Fee!
My favourite cards for everyday spend are either the American Express Platinum or Business Platinum Card. They both earn 1.25 points per dollar transferrable to Aeroplan or Avios, and you can earn up 60,000 to 75,000 points respectively, after applying for those cards and completing minimum spend. However, nearly all Canadian Credit Cards have fees on…
PayTM Canada – Pay Bills with your Credit Card and Earn Points!
My current favourite app is Paytm Canada. They’re a mobile app that allows you to pay your bills with your credit card, similar to Plastiq. Downloadable on iOS and Android, you can get a $10 credit using promo code PTM9462620 when signing up and paying your first bill of more than $25. While Paytm is new in Canada, they…
