Agreed, the 2% AMEX rules!

How is it better than CiTi Driver's Edge? Or do they rule together.

That's right. It should be a notice in the name of the thread - 11.5cents Winnipeg exclusively.

Thanks for the deal.

MBNA PREMIER REWARDS PLATINUM CARD

1% cashback no minimum spending
6.99% interest rate
Platinum benefits (warranty extension, car rental insurance, purchase protection)
no annual fee

all = hotter than the pc card

does anybody know to get the %2 back from pc mastercard do i need to carry a balance?

i put about 30 grand on my card in a year but never pay intrest. good deal for me i think

I do the same with our Visa but get TD Travel Reward points. The points is a bit is misleading because you book some travel, then phone them and they credit you for it - it's nothing like airmiles or aeroplan miles. We pay an annual fee but end up getting (after the fee) at min $1000/yr in free travel. Plus you can still book any good travel deal you find and use your 'points' for it.

I think if you find a cc that works for you it doesn't necessarily work for the next person. The travel one works for us because we do a lot of domestic travel to visit friends and family.

I use my PCMC often. At the end of the year, I blow away all my points on a nice X-mas dinner. Last x-mas, I hit the full-service counter at Loblaws and got me a nice 4-rib Prime Rib.

Oh yeeeah.

Some people like our family would rather have the convenience of getting free groceries anytime, or prime rib, lol (points=cash, no frills, fortinos - any "loblaws" owned) than waiting for the annual cash reward.

Interest rate doesn't usually apply to ppl who pay off their balances before interest accrues.

Is there a cc company that pays out straight cash (in cheque form of course) monthly or quarterly?
I would get one of those.

As others have said, no this is not a hot deal. This card is definitely not new. The best credit cards and loyalty programs are based on individual needs. Personally, the PC MC is my main credit card. I like that I can redeem rewards whenever I want and since I shop primarily at No Frills and other Loblaw group stores such as RCSS and Loblaws, this is very convenient for me. I never carry a balance so interest rate doesn't matter to me. Every month or so, I get free groceries. I used to have an Amex Air Miles card and did travel free on it but I don't travel much these days and didn't like the restrictions and having to wait to collect. I still collect Air Miles. I cancelled that card after being late one day on a payment and then they charged me full interest the following month on new purchases because my account wasn't in good standing. The following month was paid in full on time yet no one could give me an explanation as to why the charge. I did find out that they had changed their policy the month before but no Amex staffer could tell me that. Other cards now do this as well. I do have the Costco Amex but I don't like waiting a full year for the cheque. For my needs, this card works well, for others there are better options.

PC doesn't offer 2% back. They do have a promo where existing customers were given 2% but only on purchases made at grocery stores that carry the PC brand for a limited time.

Best PCMC deal I have seen is the one I got: 3.97% on balance transfers UNTIL THEY'RE PAID OFF. Not 6 months. Not limited in any way.

I put $7500 on that card when I got it, and it's down to ~3000 now, but given that my mortgage interest is 5.56%, NOT paying off this card (and putting extra $$$ on my mortgage) is saving me money.

Until I see another "low interest 'til paid off" offer, all these cash-back etc. CC offers are just noise.

PC isn't bad. If you're with them for a while, you can get 5.97%, if you're into paying interest (this is ongoing, not for a limited time or only for balance transfers). Also, the paypass is a nice feature.

But still, <3 2% gold AMEX.

Wrong, to most people, cash back on credit card is not income.

The number of places that take AMEX are increasing everyday. I hardly have to use any other credit card.

I think it applies in Richmond, BC as well. If I recall correctly, anyone who fills up at the Superstore gas bar saves 6.5 cents/L in the form Superstore superbucks and if you use your PCMC you get an additional 5 cents/L in superbucks. The superbucks can only be redemmed at Superstore.

Hell NO. Only 6.5 cents/L in Superbock.

Where do you get this info?

All you who say you love the 2% amex must be spending INSANE amount of cash.
Last year, my I only spent 3400$ on my CC (so includes almost everything you can get with a CC).

I mean only getting .5% for the first 2500$ is ALOT. another 2500$ for just 1% (same return as the PC MC) is ALOT ALOT.

Needing to spend over 5000$ just to get 2% is just insane. What are you people? Made of money?


I guess it also has something to do with me being from Eastern Europe, in saving any penny I can, and not buying something unless it's NECESSARY!
