If i get both the visa infinite and a cobalt, can i combine the aeroplan points?
Im only asking incase i have to use my visa somewhere that doesnt accept amex
cool video, I am new to the points game! have a cobalt and and a gold card. quick question, why does our gold card suck in compare to the one in the States? and will it improve. Also does it make sense to get the RBC visa on top of cobalt?
Smaller market compared to the US, so we have a weaker card. As for if it will get better, it's really anyone's guess. It may make sense to get the RBC Visa, it just depends on what your goals are - do you want to fly to Europe more, or perhaps Asia?
@@creditverse thanks:) , my wife and I fly to Asia ( India ) every 3 years. We usually book the Air Canada / Lufthansa business class but it just keeps getting expensive all the time and hence the points, no matter how early I book it :(
For Lufthansa, the best availability comes either 355 days out, or 2 weeks before departure - which can make planning trips a little tricky.
@@creditverse good to know :) so for this very particular and weird travel scenario is the RBC visa worth getting or should I just keep the two amexes
I'd stick with the two Amexes, just because you can't transfer RBC Avion points to fly Lufthansa. That being said, if you want to venture outside of AC/LH, you could Avion to fly Qatar Airways through Doha, if that interests you. :)
Love the videos, i have almost all RBC’s cards (ion+, Avion infinite, Avion platinum and west jet WE (upgraded from normal west jet) and have amazing credit around 780+, but for some reason I’ve tried applying for AMEX cobalt twice now (waiting 3-6 months inbetween cards) and have between denied both times, tried calling them but thag did nothing, I’m thinking maybe I should just try for the Amex gold or even go for the platinum, any tips or advice ?
That's interesting, I applied for the Cobalt and they approved me pretty easily so it's surprising to hear that you did not get approved. What happened when you gave them a call? What did they say? In terms of going ahead with a Platinum and Gold it really just depends. Usually Platinum and Cobalt customers are very different demographics. The Cobalt is geared to the everyday spend while the Platinum is all about the perks and benefits you get at the airport.
The Gold right now feels like the awkward middle child in the line up its not too geared towards travel but has a little bit of lifestyle there. If you're looking for a strong bonus I would opt for the business Gold is a great card instead. I hope this helps!
Amex is going on a mass decline spree. You're not the only one that's getting denied these days.
I’d like to only have one credit card to minimize my wallet, and I need a Mastercard. Overall, is the NBC WE a good all around card?
The NBC WE is an all-rounder that is probably the best value of you NEED a Mastercard.
@@creditverse Thank you! Considering I shop a lot at Costco, it'd make sense to get this Mastercard as only card.
Do you think the AMEX Cobalt will bring back a bigger sign up bonus anytime soon?
I don't think so, I think the most we have seen is 22K with a referral link bonus
My man, i love you but you mumble so much
Yeah sorry about that, really gotta focus on slowing down when recording.
I really didn’t notice. I don’t struggle hearing what he’s saying at all.
@@creditverse no worries, keep up with the great content, killing it!
Speak more slowly please
