ATB Gold My Rewards Travel MasterCard Review
– RewardsCanada.ca
(This post is a duplicate of the one found on our main Rewards Canada site) Since we launched Rewards Canada in 2001 we have always stated that there aren’t really any bad credit cards out there as each card is good for certain individuals. However there are cards that we would have considered being at the bottom of the list when comparing cards and the ATB Gold My Rewards Travel MasterCard used to be one of them. Not the worst card but not far from taking that title. That was when the card had an annual fee but the card was revamped in the Fall of 2014 and now ATB touts it as the “Best no-fee coverage travel card”. So with that statement we decided to give this ‘small’ issuing bank card the Rewards Canada review treatment! OverviewThe only for Alberta residents ATB Gold My Rewards Travel MasterCard is the only travel rewards card from Alberta Treasury Branch portfolio of cards that also includes Cashback and MyHusky rewards cards. It used to be a weak card when compared to others in Canada but with its recent especially since it had an $89 annual fee and lackluster rewards and insurance… Canadians are being warned about a new credit card phishing scam that is targeting people in the early morning, when they are sleepy and potentially vulnerable.
