  HSBC has just matched their previous biggest and best offer yet of 100,000 points on the HSBC World Elite® Mastercard® but have made it a little harder to achieve than last year’s version. On top of the 100,000 point bonus on the HSBC World Elite Mastercard this current welcome bonus also provided no annual fee in the first year for the primary cardholder. Those 100,000 points are worth $500 towards any travel and as that first year annual fee is waived you get the full value of that $500! Since Quebec doesn’t allow the first year free waiver the offer there is a whopping 130,000 points worth $650 towards travel but you do have to pay the annual fee so you end up with $501 in travel value.The bonus outside of Quebec is awarded as follows:20,000 Point Welcome Bonus on your first purchase50,000 points when you spend $6,000 in the first 180 days 10,000 points when you add an authorized user20,000 points as a card anniversary bonus As you can see it is a little tougher to get that 100K points this time around…

One of those that emerged over summer that provides great value was the partnership between RBC and DoorDash. In August the two companies came out with an offer that provides a complimentary DashPass subscription for up to 12 months with an eligible RBC credit card. The offer was made available to both existing cardholders and also to any one who gets themselves a new RBC credit card.The following RBC cards get a 12 month complimentary DashPass subscription (a value of almost $120) when you add your RBC credit card to your DoorDash accountRBC Avion Visa Infinite Card RBC Avion Visa Platinum CardRBC British Airways Visa Infinite CardRBC Cathay Pacific Visa Platinum Card  WestJet RBC World Elite MastercardRBC Cash Back Preferred World Elite MasterCardThe very popular RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card receives a12 month complimentary DashPass subscription The following  RBC cards get a 3 month complimentary DashPass subscription (a value of almost $30) when you add your RBC credit card to your DoorDash accountRBC Cash Back MasterCardRBC Rewards+ VisaWestJet RBC MastercardSignature RBC Rewards VisaIf you are unfamiliar with DashPass, it is DoorDash’s subscription service (think Instacart Express if you are familiar with that) and DashPass allows you to receive unlimited deliveries from qualifying restaurants with $0 delivery fees on orders of $12 or more…
