RateBuddy Verdict

The Good
  • Eliminates the standard 2.5% foreign currency conversion fee for all U.S. dollar purchases.
  • Allows you to pay your credit card bill directly in USD, which is perfect for Canadians with U.S. income or USD savings.
  • Includes Auto Rental Collision and Loss Damage Insurance, providing peace of mind during U.S. road trips.
The Trade-offs
  • The earn rate for Aventura points is very low, specifically 1 point for every $2 spent on non-travel purchases.
  • Lacks essential travel medical insurance, which most Canadians would require when visiting the United States.
  • The annual fee is $35 USD, which may not be worth it if you only make occasional U.S. purchases.
