Today only – Earn 10x AIR MILES Reward Miles site wide for online purchases made via AIR MILES Shops + MORE Dec 16th

 HSBC’s biggest and best offer for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard that happens to be one of the best ever bonuses ever seen in Canada (definitely in the Top 5 ever in terms of value) will be ending on December 28. This means there are less than two weeks to get in on it and we have confirmation it will not be extended. The offer for all of Canada sans Quebec is up to 100,000 points which ties the highest ever points offer outside of Quebec. The PC Optimum World Elite Mastercard and ATB Gold My Rewards Mastercard have both offered 100,000 in the past but those two offers were only worth $100. On top of the 100,000 point bonus on the HSBC World Elite Mastercard this current welcome bonus also provided no annual fee in the first year for the primary cardholder. Those 100,000 points are worth $500 towards any travel and as that first year annual fee is waived you get the full value of that $500! Since Quebec doesn’t allow the first year free waiver the offer there is a whopping 130,000 points (this is highest ever bonus in Canada numerically speaking) worth $650 towards travel but you do have to pay the annual fee so you end up with $501 in travel value…

Decide where to move your money
First step: Figure out what you want from your new bank. It could be a more flexible chequing account with no fees on everyday transactions, a decent interest rate on savings, a rewards program or better customer service. (Scotiabank’s Ultimate Package*, for instance, offers all of the above, and waives up to $139 credit card fees each year…
