Alright a light dawned upon us last week when Steve asked us a question on Part 3 of our ‘Done With AIR MILES’ series.His question was:How do you feel about AIR MILES cash vs. cash reward cards? I know you can “double dip” with a cash back credit card + AIR MILES at certain stores, but would you recommend that over an AIR MILES credit card earning their cash + AIR MILES card? and this was our response The best AIR MILES earn rate on a credit card is 1 Reward Mile for $10. It takes 95 Miles to get $10 in cash rewards (and we’re guessing that may go up soon) meaning you have to spend $950 to get the $10. If you get a card that gives 2% (like the mbna rewards World Elite) you would get $19 back. As long as the cash back card earns more than 1.05% you are better off with the cash back. Heck even a 1% card is better as you are not limited in your cash redemptions like you would be with Air Miles.Which led us to think we should bring further attention to this. Many of you have switched to 100% Cash Rewards with the AIR MILES program and are still using an AIR MILES credit card (BMO and/or Amex) for your purchases…
