[...] I already have a master card and I personally don’t think this card reaps that many benefits (extra 25 points doesn’t really cut it for me), so I would rather have a no fee travel reward card personally [...]

I have the MBNA travel rewards elite – and a warning to anyone wanting to modify reservations:

I modified a 3 night stay to a 1 night stay, and weeks later, still no refund on my credit card. I called the travel rewards centre a few times and they all seem pretty confused and can’t figure out the fact that they still owe me money.

bottom line, I’m done with this card. Call centre also takes about an hour to process any call.

@Guy G. Hey Guy, I know what you mean- the other day at Superstore I saw a lady who asked to have her groceries paid for with her points- I was jealous =) I should look into the PC mastercard, maybe I’ll just use it when I shop at Superstore. Sometimes I can be like that too, at Shoppers Drug Mart- buy stuff that I don’t really need because a) it’s on sale b) it’s points day!

Hey,
Of all the cars I have right now with no fees and rewards, I’d have to say I like the PC. Thankfully I’ve learned some tips on budgeting since my bad spending days and am reducing my balances. Why PC? Well, I love food, and nothing is better for me than to get to the checkout counter and say “I’ll use my points please” and pay like $2.50 for the balance of a $50 cart of groceries.

There’s a caution though. Points were introduced to make you ‘want’ to spend more. My Dad is a perfect example. He’ll sometimes buy stuff that he doesn’t REALLY want too much and definitely doesn’t need just to get the points.

@Doctor Stock Hello Doctor Stock! Thanks for stopping by- I love your tweets! =) The MBNA Travel Rewards card taxes can be paid off by points, which is a bonus. Even fee- travel cards (like Aerogold or Avalon) will charge you fees and taxes from the airlines. I’m not too bothered by paying the taxes because it’s usually very small (c’mon for a FREE flight?). I think everyone has their preferences (cashback or rewards) =) I hear the Smart Cash MBNA card is really good for cashback.

I recently went away from my no-fee travel card… because at the end of the day, they still charge me taxes, etc. I use a no-fee dividend card that pays me cash each year .
