At the start of 2015 we put out a piece that got a lot of coverage about 2015 being the year that credit card rewards come crashing down to earth here in Canada. We predicted this based on the voluntary lowering of the average interchange rate that is charged to merchants. For the most part, this hasn’t really taken place yet which is a great thing as we’ve seen some issuers actually release cards that have higher rewards (BMO for one) but we’ve seen one card that was curtailed right at the start of the year and now we have another family of cards that are being devalued. Perhaps that banks are now seeing what the effect of the new interchange rate average is doing to their numbers as it has been roughly two months of it coming to fruition.The latest set of cards that are being devalued are the TD Travel Rewards Visas. Of course the main card in the family of three cards is the TD First Class Visa Infinite Card, a mainstay in our Canada’s Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings and also one of the most flexible cards is affected by this change that kicks in on August 16th… Murad Ali and Arsheen Haji live large thanks to easy access to home equity lines of credit, joining the many Canadians succumbing to the same temptation. Critics warn the high credit limits and low interest rate loans could cause some Canadians to get in over their heads.
