Terms: The annual fee is $29 CAD. The annual interest rate is 19.5 percent. Bonus Awards establishments offer patrons double Aeroplan miles when using the card.

Good News/Bad News Good: Ties to a large frequent-flier program with a vast array of flight options. Bad: A high interest rate makes this card impractical for people who don't pay their balances in full at the end of each month.

Frequent flier program: Aeroplan is closely associated with Air Canada but is no longer under the airline's direct control. Aeroplan employes a four-tier system: Aeroplan Basic, Prestige, Elite, and Super Elite. Beyond the first basic tier, additional services and upgrade opportunities are provided. Qualifying for a top tier status is done through attaining flight mileage during a calendar year. Aeroplan mileage expires if not used within seven years. Accounts expire if there is a 12-month period of inactivity.
