Choosing a Rewards Credit Card
Shopping Rewards Credit Cards
Shopping Rewards
Many retailers offer discounts when you use selected credit cards to make your purchase. Rewards include instant cash back, discounted pricing, and additional merchandise savings.  Shopping benefits including discounts are retailers like Shoppers Optimum®, Pharmaprix Optimum®, and Sony to name a few.
Travel Rewards
Credit cards that offer travel rewards programs are reasonably flexible and might provide airline miles, points that are redeemed for hotel accommodation, or both. You earn reward points or airline miles whenever the credit card is used for everyday purchases. Credit cards used for travel related spending such as purchasing airline tickets or hotel reservations, a greater number of reward points are usually awarded. Reward points can be redeemed for airline tickets, hotel accommodations, car rental, or special priority treatment or upgrades while traveling. To find out more about Travel Rewards Credit Cards
Travel Credit Cards
Air Miles Rewards
There are many credit cards that offer air miles points. These include Alaska Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and British Airways. You earn air miles with your everyday purchases. Most offer 'sign up' bonus air miles, and some offer companion tickets. The standard is 1 air mile reward point for every $1 spent. Yet there are cards that do offer more air miles per £1 spent, but you usually pay a higher annual fee. To find out more about Air Miles Rewards Credit Cards
Hotel Rewards Credit Cards
Hotel Rewards

Use your hotel rewards credit cards to earn discounts on hotel reservations and stays, vacation packages, car rentals, cruises, flights and other travel-related purchases. If you have a favorite hotel chain that you prefer to stay at when you travel, you can earn additional points toward free nights with your everyday purchases. Some cards let you earn points towards stays at specific hotel chains, such as Best Western and Westin. Other cards let you redeem points for airline travel, hotel reservations, or vacation packages.

Choosing a rewards credit card that fits your desires is what we are all about. We provide the tools and information necessary to make an informed decision on not only the rewards credit card that best fits your goals, but also the credit card that fits your credit history.  The first step in choosing a rewards credit card is to determine which rewards you want.  Rewards credit cards in Canada are broken into four main categories, Shopping rewards, Travel rewards, Air Miles rewards, and Hotel accommodations rewards cards.
The advantages of rewards credit cards are obvious, cash back, shopping rewards, travel rewards all from using your credit card for everyday purchases. The more you spend, the more reward points you accumulate, and the more 'free' stuff you get. But lurking in the background is some ugly facts that must be evaluated before you make the plunge into the world of reward credit cards. First of all, most rewards credit cards come with an annual fee. This fee can be substantial, and over the course of a few years can eat into the benefits that you might achieve with a rewards credit card. Secondly, not all rewards are equal. Air miles points earned on the American Express® Air Miles® Platinum Credit Card may be worth more in terms of real savings than the shopping benefits of the MBNA PremierRewards® Platinum Plus® MasterCard®.  You need to be aware of the value of points, and how they are earned. And finally, rewards credit cards usually have a higher annual interest rate (APR). If you plan on carrying a balance on the card, you need to be keenly aware of the interest rate(s), and how much this increased rate is going to cost you on a yearly bases. This can easily offset the advantage you can get with the rewards point you earn. Bottom line, you need to be aware of all the costs associated with rewards credit cards. These costs can very early offset the advantages of rewards you earn. If you take the time to understand all the costs associated with a rewards card, you can make an informed decisions and benefit from your spending.
