I believe it’s owned by BMO in the U.S. As far I know, you can’t even apply for the card in Canada. It’s not listed on their website.

I have this card.

May I have your views on this card?

Thank you.

Thanks I wasn’t sure about that.

Hey Laura,

Based on the terms and conditions, it’s a permanent benefit. However, the $100 travel credit is only good for one year.

RBC is offering to waive the foreign transaction fee on the Visa Avion Infinite as part of the transition from HSBC. Have you heard any rumours about how long they will do this? I’m assuming they’ll revert at some point. Thanks.

Hey Laura,

It sort of depends on what you’re looking for. A good daily card is the Amex Cobalt Card since it earns you 5X the points on eats and drinks, 3 X on streaming services, 2 X on travel and transit, and 1X on everything else. Amex Membership Rewards are highly flexible and can be redeemed for any type of travel. That said, the card does charge FX fees on foreign transactions.

If no FX is important, consider the EQ Bank Card. You need an EQ Bank account, but it’s a prepaid card that uses the Mastercard network. There are no FX fees for purchases or ATM withdrawals.

As always, thanks for putting this information together. HSBC will soon be defunct so I’m looking for a new primary card. Since I tend to travel via tours, I’m looking for a card with a higher earn rate for actual travel expenses, one of the HSBC features I liked. Can’t seem to find that feature in other cards but perhaps I’m missing something. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Jan,

Amex has never offered a rebate on the Cobalt monthly fee.

Hi Barry!

Thanks for the wealth of info. Does AMEX run promos where they waive the annual fee? I am asking specifically for the Cobalt.

Thank you!
