AMEX
Best Sign-Up Bonuses in Canada
If you got all three cards (very easy to do), you’ll 140,000 points fee $399 in fees, which is enough to go almost anywhere in the world in Business, or enough for two round-trips to Europe in Economy (with points remaining).
Does AMEX (Canada) use Equifax now?
Since forever and ever (well, my recent memory, which is admittedly short), American Express Canada has always pulled Transunion when making a credit decision. This kind of sucked, because most other valuable Canadian creditors also pull Transunion, and this made the case of having excessive credit checks all too common.
AMEX Ending Referral Program; Transunion Report Online; AA DOT Complaint Update
I’ve been traveling for the past week, and the following are the developments in the points and miles world in Canada that I noticed while on sojourn.
AMAZING sign-up bonus! HURRY!
The American Express Platinum (Canada) has just increased the sign-up bonus to 75,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $1,000 in the first three months of ownership. This is an amazing deal! We have never seen such a high sign-up offer on any card in Canada, ever.
The Strangest Credit Card Issue I’ve Ever Had
I have a number of cards with American Express in the United States. I was recently approved for and given an SPG card. Once I received it, I used it for a week for a number of purchases, including a large purchase for laser eye surgery. However, I was noticing that the charges were never showing up on the account. I even called American Express and they couldn’t see the charges. Weird.
