– RewardsCanada.ca
Hot on the heels of our Clash of the Credit Cards where two no annual fee cards that offer Aeroplan points went head to head we figured it would be perfect timing to also put together the Ultimate No Annual Fee Aeroplan Credit Card portfolio. In this feature of Rewards Canada’ Ultimate Credit Card Portfolios we look at the ultimate one for earning Aeroplan points all with cards that don’t charge any annual fees.
