Booking for a Hotel Room would give you $40 in Visa gift card. the Marriot Courtyard is giving you cash back for you to have saving after getting a hotel reservation.the gift card will arrive through mail and you then use it.

If you've been procrastinating on that summer weekend getaway, make your decision to stay at a Courtyard by Marriott property by Friday, and you'll get up to $40 in Visa gift cards as a bonus.

Yup, the hotel firm is putting a little cash back in your wallet.

The offer is valid at participating hotels in the U.S. and Canada for weekend stays (Fridays and Saturdays) until Sept. 6. But you must book by July 30.

Stay one night and you receive one voucher good for a $20 gift card, per room. Stay both nights and you receive two vouchers, worth $40.

After the gift cards arrive in the mail, you can use them to purchase whatever you like, wherever Visa is accepted.

hi there..

i have found this visa credit card that offers a lot of benefits. this credit card will allow you to collect Aeromiles points that you can exchange with airline tickets. Travel rewards are the most special feature of this card. It gives a lot of benefits for people who loves to travel for leisure or for business purposes. It also offers points that can be redeemed with equivalent rewards based on your points earned. The exclusive benefits are listed below.

List of CIBC Aerogold Visa™ Card benefits
• 15, 000 bonus Aeroplan® Miles on the first purchase of the card which is equivalent to one economy class short-haul flight at the ClassicFlight® reward level.
• Earn 1 Aeroplan Mile every time a dollar is spent by the card user.
• 1.5 Aeroplan Miles awarded for purchasing gas, groceries and items from the drugstores.
• Aeroplan participating partners also give additional points when you use the card at their stores or shops.
• Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz including Executive Class/Executive First 1 are given free access for the card users for the available seat only.
• CIBC guarantees the client that points earned will not be lost even being inactive for 12 months.

this will be a good choice for a travel credit card.

thats totally true.. paying off what is due on your billing statement every months will give you advantage over the credit card you hold rather than getting interest charges. generally, rewards credit card do have a high interest rate and being hit with these charges is not advisable. even though you have collected points but still the amount of interest charges added on your account is not of the same value with the rewards points you've got.

commonly, rewards cards are for convenient users who have enough finances to pay off their debt every end of a month but continually is earning points out of every dollar spent using your particular rewards credit card.

Visa rewards cards are the same as Capital One Credit cards .
/capital-one-canada.html

They're all about giving something back to the card holder. The more money you spend, the more rewards you get back.

I recommend that people only use rewards cards if they pay their balance off at the end of each month... you don't want to be paying interest on your rewards card... the points aren't worth it if you are paying interest...

Hi there! A few days ago, friend told me that I can get more benefits if I enroll in one of the Visa rewards credit cards, is this true? As of the moment I’m using a Capital One credit card and would just like to know if transferring to a different set up (like one with the rewards system) would be more beneficial for me.

I find credit card set-ups and various deals to be confusing enough so if you’d be able to break down the explanation to its bare essentials, it would be so much better. To point out my concerns, here are some descriptive questions so to speak;

By rewards, what kind of rewards will I be getting?

Does it depend on what bank is offering or is it the same deal for every bank?

Will it increase my monthly payments in any way?

And last but not least, will I be able to benefit from it in the long run?

I know that the questions I’ve posted above might appear simple enough, and I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m no banker or financial expert when it comes to these things so I won’t even try to pretend that I will understand any jargons or “banking explanations” regarding these questions.

I’d appreciate it very much if you can just post the answers in “common language”, one that all of us speaks and understands. Thanks so much.
