What do the RFD veterans think of this? Any insight? Can I get the points and cancel the card before the year ends ?

Why bother posting this cold deal while a substatially better deal is out there - CIBC aero card with 15,000 points, and apparently 20k if you do it in a branch location

Do they waive first year fee as well?

[Rockymountain]

I suggest OP to do some research by himself/herself. There are many better deals than this one.

Yeah, they've been doing that for a while now for the Aerogold.

[lolibra]

Well, you could get both... just cancel both before the first year is up.

There is no mention of the waiver on their site now, but it was free a month ago.

My card approved.Thinking to buy Macbook Pro for $3000

Links please.

Interesting find OP. So Amex is offering this Aeroplan card for $60/yr that is not the aerogold. The bonus is only 5000. But you still get 1 aeroplan point for each $1.

It's something to apply, get the bonus points, then get rid of it. You get a credit hit, but 5000 points is better than nothing.

Can you elaborate?

EDIT: nvm, self-educated on google.

[nemo2009]

Heres the link for the 25k points spend 3k within the first 3 months. or 15k points spend $500 within first 3 months

Can I get the small business card if indt own a business?
3k to spend in three months is easy!
Thx

Has anyone applied to both cards? Do you still get both bonus offers? I checked the fine print online and both cards state that bonus offer not valid to existing card holders but that's it...no mention of what happens if you apply to both
