Applications no longer being accepted for the Chase Amazon.ca Rewards Visa
– RewardsCanada.ca
Chase Canada’s credit card portfolio is sure shrinking fast. Sure the card hasn’t been discontinued but as of April 3rd applications were no longer being accepted for the Chase Amazon.ca Rewards Visa card. We first saw it reported on Rewardscardcanada.com (yes, yes we know it’s a play on our name and advantageous for their SEO but the gentleman behind it is a good guy) and we also mentioned it on our twitter feed yesterday. Now that this card is no longer available it leaves only the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card as the only publicly available card from Chase. It also makes the Marriott Visa card the only one in Canada with no foreign transaction fee as the Amazon card also had this feature.I have reached out to Chase to get more details on whether the card will actually be discontinued for those who hold the card or if they will get to continue using it indefinitely. Typically however when applications close it means the card will eventually disappear as well (think Delta and IHG cards of the past!)I know a lot of you love this card because of the no annual fee tied in with no foreign transaction fees…Best way to raise credit score on a $500 limit card

You can now redeem Delta SkyMiles for WestJet flights
– RewardsCanada.ca
For the longest time redeeming miles for flights within Canada has been the domain of the Star Alliance since Air Canada was a founding member but if you were a member of other airlines other than WestJet Rewards there were no options for you to redeem for flights within our borders. Now that has changed, granted it is only one airline, but still it is better than none and that airline program is Delta SkyMiles and members of the program have a great redemption option for domestic flights within Canada on WestJet. Perhaps you are a frequent Delta flyer and/or you still have lots of SkyMiles left from the days of the Canadian Delta SkyMiles MasterCard. Either way you can now use your miles to go visit Grandma in Manitoba, fly your kid to University in Vancouver, take that Hawaiian vacation or whatever.You are not limited to WestJet flights in Canada however, you can also redeem for WestJet flights to the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean and Europe. The redemption rates are as follows (one way amounts)Within Canada: 12,500 SkyMilesCanada to the U…Rate survey: Average card APR jumps again to record 15.71 percent
