Best CC if I already fly for cheap with AC

How about a hotel rewards card such as Marriott from Chase or SPG from Amex? Pretty good rewards for hotel bookings. Plus the chase card will save you on the foreign exchange fees when using your card abroad

cash back are better. scotia momentum is one of the best.

As already mentioned consider the Scotia Momentum. Also a card from Chase either Marriott or Amazon is a great option if you plan to travel as you'll basically save 2.5% over any other card.
I don't worry about having multiple cards. Scotia Momentum is our 'daily' while Chase Amazon does all my purchases that require currency conversion.

The Cap ONe World Travel Elite may be interesting. The credits can be applied to any travel inlcuding hotels and car rentals.

Do you need a good insurance protection?

No, I think I'm fine on the insurance front. Thanks, I'll take a look at that card.

MBNA World Elite

The scotiabank momentum is worth is as long as you spend $4950 a year or $412.5 a month on gas/groceries (assuming you have an existing 2% card). If you spend over that amount, then get the card. Otherwise, you'll be losing money.

My SO is a flight attendant for AC as well. Flight attendants really don't make much, unfortunately, so there are only so many cards she can apply for.

I previously had the TD Gold Elite, but am sick of tying up $5000 in my checking account to get the 1% cash back. I recently got the Scotia Gold Amex, but am looking for a card to supplement it.
I know travel cards give better rewards, but are they worth it if you don't need to book flights (I work for AC)?? I was thinking of going the BMO Travel Elite or the Cashback Elite (1.75%).
Any recommendations?
Thanks

Go with The Platinum Card by AMEX, a lot of employees have it and it's awesome. Lounges access works with flight passes (except maybe a few AC lounges). It's by far the best canadian credit card.

A $600 dollar annual fee is a little excessive for someone that (I presume) is a flight attendant. Even if they're an in-charge for AC, this card really isn't worth it. I'd recommend a 2% card, but I'll be able to put out a better recommendation once OP lists his/her income

My partner makes 100k and I make 45k. We were both on the TD Gold Elite and we are both planning on moving off it as we don't need the Autoclub and don't want to tie up $5000 each in our bank account. At 7%/year even $5000 of that is costing us $350 in lost interest income before taxes.

Thanks all for your help.

Hm, not sure what your grocery, gas and other spending consists of, but you should look into the MBNA Rewards World Elite. 2% cashback everywhere. $89 annual fee. First year is free. $100 bonus after your first purchase. So it's effectively free for just over two years. I'm sure there are other good options out there.

As mentioned, if you spend over $412.50 on gas/groceries per month on a credit card, you should look into the scotiabank momentum.

Alternatively, if you travel a lot, look into the chase marriott visa card. 30000 bonus points and first year free, but $120 annual fee afterwards. No foreign exchange fee if you travel a lot.
