Nice! If I'm in the market for a new CC I assume there is no reason to get the old one at all?

Hey, thanks for the information Djino.

Just to let our visitors know: you can't apply for the card. It is now by upgrade only, from an existing SMART CASH card.

These are the requirements:

1. Individual income of $70,000.00 or greater
2. Combined house hold income of $120,000.00
3. $20,000.00 spending in the last 12 months

If you qualify, upgrade using the following steps: from your SMART CASH online account, click 'rewards' tab. You should see the offer to upgrade through their new 'upgrade portal'. Follow the directions from there.

I have applied here: http://www.ratesupermarket.ca/.....al-offers/
for the World card & approved, get $75 gas card. I used to have a PC Mastercard, but will use the World card from now on.

Hi mel1stef,

Glad you are getting the MBNA Smart Cash Card - it's great! However, I believe the card you've just applied for (listed on the website you posted) is in fact the Smart Cash card, not the 'Smart Cash World' card. You can't apply directly for the World card (see my previous post) but you may be able to upgrade!

Good luck!

Just an FYI. I did apply & got the basic Smart Cash card for 6 months. I was on the phone with a CSR for an unrelated issue last month and got offered to upgrade to World without asking. Upgrading gives me extra 6 months of 5% bonus. :)
