One of my favourite services right now is the PayTM app. It lets you pay bills with credit cards where normally you can’t use one, allowing you to earn additional miles and points. They are similar to Plastiq, but have a much better product and stronger customer service. PayTM is a large payment services company in…
Chase Closes Marriott and Amazon Credit Cards
Chase Canada was an interesting credit card issuer. They had several store co-branded credit cards that all had no transaction fees – very rare in Canada.
