As a young marketer who loves to travel, Shirley has visited many parts of the world including Europe, Asia, North America as well as Africa. Studying International Business and Marketing, Shirley has been given the opportunity to study abroad in Singapore and Taiwan learning about their cultures and lifestyles. As a child, she has always longed for a career where she can travel to foreign countries and introduce them to the world. She realized that she needed to start small, so marketing products and services to those who were not familiar with it would be her preliminary step. When travelling became a frequent hobby for Shirley, she decided that signing up for a rewards card would be an ideal decision. Shirley has been a member of Aeroplan and Air Miles for over a decade, collecting points each time she travels. She has also stayed at hotels situated all over the world ranging from 2 stars to 6 stars; she’s become an expert in hotel bookings and standards. Although Shirley loves to travel, she prefers to redeem cash-back when making daily purchases. Her current credit card portfolio includes the MBNA Smart Cash MasterCard and Capital One Aspire Cash MasterCard as they offer a high cash-back return than most credit cards.

Review of CardSwap

We have received gift cards and given gift cards one time or another in the past. However, we do not always use all the gift cards which are given to us. CardSwap is a website which works to assist Canadians in salvaging the value out of their unused gift card in return for one that they will use, or just for direct cash back.

Coolest Looking Credit Cards

Have you ever signed up for a credit card because you thought the design on the card was really cool and you just needed to add that to your collection? I definitely have. This happened when I went to my very first live Ottawa Senators game at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa and I noticed they were booths set up for the Ottawa Senators MasterCard offered by MBNA.
