Rewards Canada names Aspire Travel World MasterCard top travel card with
an annual fee in rewards card ranking
TORONTO, March 26, 2014 /CNW/ - For the fifth year in a row, Capital
One's Aspire Travel World MasterCard takes the top spot in Rewards
Canada's annual rewards card ranking, which was released today.
RewardsCanada.ca is a leading online resource for news and information
about travel reward cards and loyalty programs. Its popular annual
rewards ranking provides Canadian consumers with information and expert
advice on the best travel rewards card to suit their needs.
"As a frequent traveller, I am always on the lookout for a travel
rewards card that will help me earn miles faster and allow me to redeem
those miles without limited availability and blackout periods," said
Steven Ishiwara, Owner/Blogger for GuysWhoTravel.com and an Aspire Travel World MasterCard customer. "Through word-of-mouth
from other frequent travellers and good friends, I learned about Aspire
and its 35,000 first purchase bonus, double miles on all purchases and
the 10,000 anniversary bonus every year. Right away I knew this card
would save me money, and with summer around the corner, I can't wait to
use my miles on future travel. I'm extremely happy that I made the
switch to the Aspire Card."
The Aspire Travel World MasterCard is consistently ranked number one by
RewardsCanada.ca because it offers cardholders double miles on all net
purchases, premium benefits, including Travel Emergency Medical
insurance, and an easy-to-use redemption program that lets them redeem
reward miles for any type of travel.
