Kanata used to be THE place to go when I lived in Perth, but now that I'm in Ottawa proper (Nepean area) I really don't have much reason to go there.

I haven't seen any Pro Controllers in the Ottawa region either... Hopefully EB gets them soon, I've got a lot of Switch credit with them from that trade-in deal from before.

Yeah, most of what you need is right there, or a short drive or bus ride downtown. I rarely leave the Kanata area, everything is around the corner (quite literally in my case) and too convenient, haha.

Oh! If anyone wants the 20% off PSN code from the e-mail, I can't use it now. So the first person to quote me can have it!

2% in 2-3 [depends if you choose to apply it to your bill or put into your tangerine savings account] categories (gas, entertainment, grocery, recurring bills etc) that you choose. And you can change the category.
1%, now 0.5% (starts april?) for everything else.

Cashback are applied every month.

That's not bad. 2% is lower than mine for some categories, but paying out monthly is nice. Both of my cards are yearly (but it's a big payout at least).

I have a Visa that does 0.5% on the first $3000 then 1% on every dollar above that. TD can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Not that there's anything wrong with that card, but are you sure that's the best they (TD) offer?

My Amex is flat 1.25% cash back on everything while my Visa is 4% on gas and groceries, 2% on recurring bills (and possibly something else I'm forgetting) and 1% on everything else I believe.

Ah shit, was thinking of getting the Tangerine MC recently and never got around to it. Now it's getting nerfed.

What would be the best no annual fee cashback cards out there right now? Wouldn't mind juggling between maybe two at most. The Tangerine seemed so perfect though. I've just been using a generic MC from my bank with 1% cashback and i'm pretty sure no other major perks. Going to the states for a few days this summer. What's this about low/no foreign exchange fees for some cards?

Ya'll need to tell me more.

Tangerine is still one of the best no-annual-fee cashback cards out there even with the nerf.

Amazon is pretty good too: 2% on Amazon, 1% elsewhere, instant credit to your account. No forex fees.

The Rogers card is a no-brainer if you use Rogers products.

Redeem your cash back rewards towards anything Rogers including: Rogers, Fido and chatr monthly bills, purchases in Rogers and Fido branded stores, purchases at The Shopping Channel™, subscriptions to Texture™, Toronto Blue Jays™ tickets, merchandise at Jays Shop™ online or in store, and at Rogers Centre™ concessions.2

Yeah. I'm just gonna start using Amazon.ca card for purchases outside of my Tangerine categories. Inconvenient but oh well.

I've looked and most of the better ones have annual fees and the other perks they offer I don't need. There are a few with 2% for certain things with no annual fee but the net difference isn't major since I don't buy gas as that is often one.

Yeah, if I were on Rogers or Fido that definitely seems like the best card.

Why wouldn't you just use the Amazon Visa? No annual fee, 1% starting from the first dollar spent instead of having to hit $3000 first. Also no foreign currency fee so when you're at PAX or whatnot you aren't charged extra.

Could not resist, kept the Persona 5 "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition and cancelled the normal version and steelbook only version. I should not have watched the unboxing... Now if only they would also give regular case with collectors... Love the steelbook but the regular case is badass too!

There was that eBay seller who sold $20 eShop cards and NES codes together for less than the card's price (I think it was $17?) and Costco sells PSN cards at a slight discount so I wanted to ensure that I didn't miss anything such as that if one popped up. They're seldom, but they do crop up from time to time.

Now that you mention it. Yeah, it was. I think it was from the store ebay store.

Damn really. Guess I'll just head there when I fill up my meager 16GB.

Thoughts on: TD Aeroplan Infinite Visa ?
Click to expand...

I just received mine. Moved from Gold Elite to that. No fee for the first year and 15k bonus points was too good to pass up. If you collect Aeroplan points it's probably the best way to do so. I'm almost at 70k, and flights to say, L.A. can be had for 20-25k, even less when they have promotions. Miles better (no pun intended) than what Air Miles are offering. 120$/year after that is kinda steep though.

Anyone has a 20% code they not using? Not to play the bday card.

I love it. Had it for 1.3 year or so now. Started at 0 and I'm now around 55k points. I'm saving them up for my next trip to Tokyo next year.

Fair enough. Since our groceries is for a family of four, including two growing boys, we easily make back our annual fee on groceries alone. Adding in gas and other miscellaneous purchases and it's a good deal, fee or not.
