Is It Worth Getting a U.S. Dollar Credit Card?
– ratesupermarket.ca
According to the most recent census, two out of three (66%) Canadians live within 100 kilometres of the U.S. border. So, naturally millions of citizens cross over to the 13 neighbouring states every month. Many snowbirds even choose to stay for part of the year. But, with the value of the loonie significantly lower than the greenback, Canadians see less bang for their buck.
To add further salt to their wounds, credit card companies typically charge a fee anywhere from 2.5% to 3% on foreign transactions. That means, even after exchange rates, cardholders will pay another $25 to $30 in fees for every C$1,000 in purchases. This predicament may lead some to wonder whether it’s worth getting a U.S. dollar credit card.

Air Canada Signature Suite in Vancouver set to open on March 14
– RewardsCanada.ca
Last night Air Canada gave a sneak peek of its brand new Signature Suite in Vancouver to the media and we now know the new lounge will open on March 14. This will be Air Canada’s second Signature Suite in their business class lounge network after the one in Toronto which debuted in 2017.Recommended Reading: Air Canada debuts Signature Suite for Premium International Customers at Toronto Pearson Air Canada’s Signature Suites differ from their Maple Leaf lounges in that access is only granted to those who are flying on a paid business class ticket (J, C, D, Z, P booking classes) for international travel to Europe, Asia or Australia. This means Aeroplan (or other Star Alliance) award tickets do not get you access, nor does having elite status. The new lounge is located in YVR’s D Concourse on the second floor of the International Maple Leaf Lounge. You access the lounge via the same entrance as the Maple Leaf lounge.Rewards Canada was unable to attend the event last night but Air Canada has been kind enough to provide us with complete details and photos of the lounge as well as a link to a virtual tour of the new space…Donald Trump assigns blame and demands credit.
