Expiry: Nov 30, 2020

AmEx Cobalt Card is one of the best credit cards in Canada. Now, you can earn 2,500 Membership Rewards points for each monthly billing period in which you spend $500 in purchases on your Card. This could add up to 30,000 points in a year. Plus you can also earn $100 cash back rebate from GCR, if you apply this card through GCR before Nov 30, 2019 (the annual fee is $120. So, it is close to annual fee rebate with GCR bonus).

GCR is the oldest and probably the best cash back website in Canada. I've earned a few hundred dollar in cash back from GCR alone, and I always check GCR first for all my Canadian online purchases.

If you want to sign up for a GCR account, please use our referral link below: https://www.greatcanadianrebates.ca/Register/126795/ , and fill in our email (canadianrewards@gmail.com) as referral email address during registration.

CIBC will enhance their Dividend Platinum Visa and Visa Infinite Cards

CIBC will enhance their Dividend Platinum Visa and Infinite Visa Credit Cards on Feb 1, 2021.

For CIBC Dividend Platinum Visa Card:

For CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card:

BTW, if you have an eligible CIBC Smart Plus Account after February 1, 2021, you'll get a rebate on the $99 annual fee for Dividend Platinum or the new annual fee of $120 for Dividend Visa Infinite. 

As far as I am concerned, I like the new version of the CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card. The new 2% cash back categories are better than Tim Hortons & Telus. The new Cash Back On Demand feature is flexible. The new Mobile Device Insurance is very useful. I don't use those travel insurances on this Visa Infinite card anyway.
