Credit Cards - What do I use (as of 1/18/2016)?

Listed below are my current credit cards:
  • MBNA Smart Cash Card (MasterCard)
    • 2% on Gas and Grocery Purchases (it went down from 3%) 
    • 1% on everything else
    • Cash out at every $50 bucks 
    • Comments:
      • I try to make sure all the gas and grocery spending is normally done on this card to maximize returns.
  • President Choice MasterCard
    • Earned 20,000 PC points, which equals $20 in free groceries. Or redeem higher amounts in further increments of 10,000 PC points (which is equivalent to a further $10 in rewards).
    • 10 points = 1 dollar spent => 1% back
    • I would probably cancel this card soon!

  • Capital One Aspire Cash (MasterCard) (this is no longer available, it's only 1%)
    • 1.5% Cash back on everything
      • The 0.5% bonus comes at the end of the year (anniversary of when you signed up) as a lump sum 
    • Cash out anytime
    • Comments:
      • This is my go to card for everything else other than gas and grocery 
  • Amazon.ca Visa Card 
    • Get a $20 Amazon.ca Gift Certificate instantly upon credit card approval
    • Earn 2% cash back per $1 spent on Amazon.ca
    • Earn 1% cash back per $1 spent everywhere else your card is accepted
    • No Foreign Currency Transaction Fees
    • No annual fee
