That's extended from 1 year, isn't it?
Sourced from email "Your migration is now completed"

Sounds pretty sweet, but I can see them breaking that promise in a couple or three years time, once this migration is distant history and everyone has sent that email to their dustbin.

MIGHT DIE, I think you need to read "Die Wise" (A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul) by Stephen Jenkinson.

This may just be my next step forward ... the National Bank World Elite Mastercard.
I want the card for their out-of-province emergency medical coverage, specifically age from 65 to 75. The $150 annual fee is a kicker, & I'm not anybody on that healthcare professionals list. However, if I spend $400 on groceries monthly to earn 24,000 points, it may just be enough to offset the cost.
Alternatively, I could redeem the 24,000 points for $200 TFSA contribution value to one the NBC TFSA product. Too bad, I closed my Motive TFSA before migration ... need to open one again.

The card will refund $150 in travel expenses annually, it's sort of a wash. If one doesn't travel, what's the point in getting the card.

Not sure this was mentioned in the other thread(s) - we have an extra section for us to look back at the past Motive transactions! ... Helpful

As a snowbird I was very interested when you mentioned the emergency medical coverage so I found their terms & conditions & was really happy to read of the 60 day coverage. The card we have presently has 25 days coverage which saves us a nice chunk of change. We use the 25 days to top up our other coverage. Unfortunately a little further down in the terms & conditions it says if your trip is longer then 60 days you do not get any coverage. .

Most cards have the same restriction, you don't get any coverage if a trip extends beyond the stated duration. In other words, it cannot be combined with other types of coverage to extend a trip. It's measured from date of departure to date of return.

Luckily for me I can use the 25 days as a top-up with no such restrictions.

Emergency medical coverage from National Bank World Elite:
Up to $5,000,000 per person
Covers any trip up to (depending
on age):
> Age 54 and under: 60 days
> Age 55 to 64: 31 days
> Age 65 to 75: 15 days
> 76 and over: no coverage
If the length of the trip exceeds
the maximum number of days, no
coverage is offered for that trip.
