June 21 Update: The Ultimate No Fee Travel Points Credit Card Portfolio and RBC & Shoppers call it quits

News, Tips & Tricks
Today we released our latest Ultimate Credit Card Portfolio! This one looks at the best three cards to make a no fee travel points credit card wallet. If you hate paying annual fees on credit cards or don't need the benefits or insurance that come with fee based cards you can still earn a decent amount of travel rewards points with thest credit cards! In the wallet we show you how you can maximize that earn with one Visa Card, a MasterCard and an American Express Card. Find out what the The Ultimate No Fee Travel Points Credit Card Portfolio is here!

Also on the credit card front news is out that RBC and Shoppers Drug Mart are ending their relationship. This doesn't come as a surprise since Loblaw's owns Shoppers and will likely issue a PC Financial Shoppers Optimum Credit Card in the near future.


We have got around to updating another one of our most popular features. This one looked at the great redemption option for short haul flights that British Airways Executive Club provided for Canadians. Well earlier this year that changed and while the amazing 9,000 Avios round trip flights are gone you can still find some great value in redeeming Avios for flights in North America. You can find out which routes and methods for earning Avios in this feature that has now been moved our main website (although you can still read about it on the blog as well).
