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…
United Devaluation Nov 2017 – And My Thoughts
Another United devaluation is occurring, this time on November 1, 2017. Most star alliance business class award and first class awards, with the exception of Europe, is increasing 5-10k miles. To view the latest prices, see their revised chart here. There aren’t too many miles in my United account. I assume that’s the same for…
Best Western Credit Card 60,000 Points!
One of the bonuses that return roughly every year is the increased signup offer for the MBNA Best Western MasterCard. The normal bonus is 20,000 points, which is not worth getting. However, increased offers vary between 40,000 and 60,000 points. The increased bonus is now back! Until August 31, 2017, you can earn up to…

Google Project Fi Review

Pricing is also very reasonable. There’s only one plan, starting at $20 per month. The plan requires a minimum of 1GB of data, with…
How Do You Create a Better Credit Card?
I love Canada (Happy 150), but one thing I don’t like about us is our credit cards. We’ve got the big 5 banks. Everyone issues their average Visa Infinite or World Elite Mastercard. While the rewards are slightly different, they all are along the same vein. You earn $1 point per dollar, and that’s equal to approximately…
Copa now Bookable With Aeroplan!
Previously, Swiss, Air China, Copa, and Avianca weren’t bookable with Aeroplan, who claimed it was a technical issue. Many people thought it was just too much of a coincidence, because all other Star Alliance miles like United were able to book these carriers. With collecting Aeroplan, I recommend getting American Express charge cards given the upcoming…
Calling the Right Number
When booking your travel, there’s always a lot of calling involved. Sadly, while I wish as badly as you do that everything could be done online, it can’t. Everyone hates being on hold. There are two ways to go about this. A lot of companies have international numbers, some of which have much shorter waits than…
