Aeroplan mileage redemption levels to increase

In case some of you haven't heard, Aeroplan will be increasing the amount of mileage needed in exchange for travel. Take this into consideration when applying for a credit card that is directly tied to this loyalty program as your dream flight/vacation may require more out of pocket dollars.

Canadian credit cards

We've all watched the TV commercials of the big banks selling us the dream of going on vacation on points or paying for that big screen TV on points. In reality most people do not achieve their dream until much later than they thought and only after putting every last penny on their credit cards to see nothing materialize.

This blog is not to reveal the mystery behind these banks, but to provide an interactive guide that will truthfully inform consumers which credit card is right for their needs and help you understand which credit card will help you reach a realistic dream.

As I build this site I hope to address the common mistakes in choosing a credit card and identifying some tips on how to get the most of out of your current cards. Feel free to ask questions on a credit card or reward mechanism that you may have.
