Now that our youngest kid is older I'm trying to wrap my head around paying for flights for a family of four. Wondering the best way to get the most bang for buck with all these points cards.
I honestly don't remember when or why I switched over to the Avion card... I think I had some sort of reasoning after researching it on the RBC site. I think the annual fee is $120? But there's multiproduct rebates through RBC which gives some sort of discount on that. I use the Visa to pay for pretty much everything to get points, and then just pay it off regularly online.

Back to the original topic. Went to Sobeys yesterday, it was actually 15% off if you spent more than $150. (10% off for $149 or less) So was happy with that!
