Fantastic HSBC World Elite Mastercard Offer!
The Canadian credit card industry is largely dominated by the Big 5 banks and American Express, although there have been cards with niche features trying to capture customers, like the Home Trust Preferred Visa.

Stacking Hotel Promotions with Hilton
Many of my hotels stays are through redemptions, but sometimes, it’s not worth it. Recently, I was looking at the Boca Beach Club, a Waldorf Astoria Resort on a trip to Florida. At first, it was a tossup when looking at the value of a paid stay versus redeeming points, but after leveraging several redemptions, it…

Home Trust Preferred Visa Review – No Foreign Transaction Fees!
Most credit cards in Canada charge a 2.5% fee for purchases in foreign currency. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but $1000 in spend internationally means $25 in fees. That’s close to a quarter of the annual fee of a premium credit card. There are a few options for cards without foreign transaction fees, but…
