Joint Credit Card - We Chose!

Before Jordan and I left for our camping trip last week, we submitted an application for a joint credit card.  As it turns out,  it takes a bit of effort to get a joint card.  Only one of us could apply (which we chose me) and then after I'm approved, we'll add Jordan as a secondary card holder.

We went with the BMO GOLD AirMiles Mastercard.

Why?

• 1 AIR MILES reward mile for every $15 in card purchases
• Earn 1,000 reward miles - enough for a flight (apply by July 31, 2010)
• Double reward miles at Shell 3, National Car Rental & Alamo Rent A Car
• Exclusive 25% discount on all AIR MILES flights worldwide
• BMO Travel Protection including Collision Damage Waiver coverage for car rentals

We felt the the AIR MILES (especially the 1000 mile bonus the first year) was totally worth the $99/annual fee. After the first year, if it's no longer worth it - we'll switch to a no fee card.
