I don’t understand the chart here and how the author figures that PC Points is one of the best. It has a return rate of 1%, whereas Canadian Tire has a return rate of 1.5%, which seems to me to be higher..

At any rate, I find the Shoppers Optimum is by far the best rewards program out there. By utilizing their 20X days, Bonus Points on products etc. You can accumulate points faster then probably anywhere out there! I once went from 300 points to over 90,000 points in less then 3 weeks. It is all about smart shopping and strategic shopping when you use their program. Then hold out for the Mega Bonus Redemption weekend and use all your points then!

[...] Some credit cards charge an annual fee and provide more generous rewards. Are these cards worth their annual fee? To find out, let’s compare the no-fee American Express AIR MILES credit card with the Gold card that carries a $50 annual fee.
