May 25 Update: Amex drops minimum income requirements, National Bank Echo CashBack added to charts, Aeroplan Fairmont bonus

News, Tips & Tricks
American Express
reached out to us to let us know that they no longer have a minimum income requirement on any of their card products as of today. Also The bankruptcy rule has become more lenient. They will only decline applicants who have filed for bankruptcy in the past 2 years rather than the current rule of 7 years. This is great news for students, low income earners and people looking to rebuild credit where income requirements or prior bankruptcy may have kept some people for applying for certain cards.

We have added the National Bank ECHO CashBack MasterCard to our Cash Back Credit Card comparison chart. Of note is the card's earning of 1.5% for online purchases. You can also cash out anytime your rewards balance hits $25 or more. Check out how it compares to others here!


This Saturday is once again a 20x Shoppers Optimum points day! If you are planning on shopping there hold off until Saturday!
