JPMorgan Chase Amazon.ca Rewards Visa (Canada)



The JPMorgan Chase Amazon.ca Rewards Visa card is a no-fee credit card. Why would you sign up for this card?  The only reason I picked up this card is the no foreign exchange fee with 1% cash back and no annual fee. Seems ideal for travelling.

If only the Capital One World Aspire has no currency exchange fee, it would be perfect. To compare Amazon.ca Rewards Visa 0% exchange fee + 1% cashback (+1%) compared to Capital One World Aspire 2.5% exchange fee + 2% tiered rewards (-0.5%). It is a 1.5% difference, which is a lot!! This may possibly be better than bank exchange rate depending on the exchange rate set by VISA.

I was just approved for the card. Once I receive and test the card, I will update the post.
