    I was thinking of Marriot Bonvoy American Express and Bmo Air Miles World Elite Mastercard

    1. Andrew D'Amours

      Very important: the Marriott Bonvoy Amex Card should NEVER be closed: it gives you an annual certificate for a free night worth 35,000 points (≈ $315). It’s literally the only card every traveler should always keep, no exceptions. So don’t close it, I can’t emphasize this enough. If you were to close it even if you really shouldn’t, Marriott points are in your Marriott account, it has nothing to do with the card 🙂

      The BMO AIR MILES World Elite MasterCard is rarely worth keeping after the 1st year’s welcome bonus, but again your AIR MILES miles are in your AIR MILES account, nothing to do with the card.

    if I have rewards on a card that I have not used yet can I still close the card to avoid yearly fees the following years or will I lose my points

    1. Andrew D'Amours

      Yes, with almost every card in Canada there’s no need to keep the card to keep the rewards. What you need to do to keep the rewards depends on the specific card you want to close. Usually it’s just to downgrade the card to its no-fee version, but not all cards have one. What card do you want to close?
