  1. Thanks for the list as well as the great work you do! CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Privilege Card has a typo with minimum spending. $1,00000 a tad too much 🙂

  2. Hi Matt,

    How does the Scotia Passport Visa Infinite compare to the HSBC World Elite Mastercard? Both have no FX fee and both offer generous sign up bonus but HSBC is waiving the first year annual fee? Which one is a better choice in your opinion?

    Thanks,
    Matt
