Unfortunately the credit card companies will be benefiting from the financial crisis that Canadians face during this time so I don’t see any reason for them to curtail cash and cash equivalent rewards. Aeroplan and less so AIR MILES could run into a position where they will need to conserve cash sometime in the near future and if that happens it is possible to see them reduce or suspend these type of redemption options…
