Playing the Credit Card Game in Quebec

    If I somehow manage to use an Ontario address from family or friends to get the Alaska card, wouldn’t that mess up my credit report with address changes and all… I am afraid it might impact everything else I try to do after.

      Yes, it might, which is why we’re not actively recommending it.

    Would it be possible that Amex eases up the spending requirements for Quebec ?
    I got my Amex Aeroplan Reserve card of the 28th of June. Beginning of July, I saw that I had already got 2 times the monthly spending bonus, one for June and the other for July, without even reaching the spending requirements at all.

      I don’t think American Express will be easing spending requirements in Quebec.
      Your monthly bonus for the first month posts automatically because you may not have a full 30 days to meet the MSR. It is a courtesy gesture from Amex.

    Thanks for the article Alex. It is very informative. If someday MBNA could change their criteria for Quebec citizens, Alaska offers such great redemption opportunities. It hurts to have to use MR points to transfer to them.
