Joint Credit Card - We Chose!

Posted by with 2 comments | in
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.
