– ratesupermarket.ca
According to the 2019 Canada Credit Card Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power, “customers who fully understand the benefits offered by their credit card issuer have significantly higher satisfaction levels compared with those who do not completely understand the benefits.”
Customers are more satisfied with their credit card when they fully understand how to redeem rewards and can easily access the information regarding their benefits.
The study suggests that cash back is the most popular reward, with 30% of customers choosing this option. The choice of airline tickets was a distant second, with 23% selecting the reward type.
Furthermore, hotel and travel-related benefits were among the benefits with the most influence on the level of satisfaction. However, the study found that cardholders don’t frequently use these perks. Only 2% of cardholders use hotel benefits, and 6% use other travel-related benefits.

Aeroplan hasn’t been selling miles for very long but they are already pushing out their second big promotion for those who want to buy or gift miles! The first time they ran a promotion was when they launched the ability to buy miles at any time and that promotion offered an astonishing 115% bonus for those who got in on the offer right away – then others were able to get 90% followed by 60%. This time the offer will be a mystery bonus, a promotion we’ve seen from other programs selling miles like Alaska Airlines. When you login you’ll see what your bonus will be and we know it will max out at 75% for some members.

On top of the mystery bonus Aeroplan will also be providing 100% of what you spend on the miles (pre tax) as Altitude Qualifying Dollars (AQD) up to a maximum of $5,000.This is the perfect promotion for those of you who may have already earned some AQMs through Aeroplan’s Travel at Home promotions where you have enough AQMs for one level of Altitude status but not enough AQDs…
