ClearFin estimate on Canada's 300–900 scale. This is not an issuer cutoff or approval guarantee; lenders may use different bureau scores and underwriting criteria. Approval is primarily driven by income eligibility ($60,000 personal or $100,000 household), credit history strength, and overall underwriting assessment rather than a fixed score threshold.
Reward limits: No explicit cap on Aeroplan point accumulation from base earn rates. However, Aeroplan Status Qualifying Miles (SQC) accumulation is capped.

What we like
Worth noting
A practical reading of where the card earns, what the fee buys, and which limits matter.
1.5x Aeroplan on gas, EV charging, groceries & Air Canada. 1x on everything else.
Groceries, Gas receive the strongest estimated return at 1.5%. Purchases outside the accelerated categories earn an estimated 1.0%.
Using the strongest estimated category return alone, roughly $9,300 in annual spending at that rate would equal the $139 fee before considering the value of insurance, partner benefits, or a welcome offer.
This card is most relevant for someone who spends consistently on groceries and gas and can use enough of the included value to justify the yearly cost.
Compare the purchase interest rate, foreign-transaction fee, approval requirements, reward limits, and insurance certificates. Pay particular attention to merchant-category rules because a store may not receive the reward rate its products appear to suggest.
