$50 Rebate for MBNA Smart Cash Card or Platinum Plus Card

If you are applying for a credit card now, I recommend you to apply for MBNA Smart Cash Card or Platinum Plus Card via GreatCanadianRebates.

Features of MBNA Smart Cash Card:
  • No annual fee
  • Annual interest rate 19.99% 
  • 1.99% introductory annual interest rate on balance transfers and cheque cash advances for 10 months
  • Get up to 5% cash back on qualifying net retail gas and grocery purchases for the first 6 months
  • Get up to 3% cash back on qualifying net retail gas and grocery purchases thereafter
  • Get up to 1% cash back for all other qualifying net retail purchases
Features of MBNA Platinum Plus Card:
  • No annual fee
  • Annual interest rate 17.99%
  • 0% introductory annual interest rate on balance transfers and cheque cash advances for 15 months

Here is another feature that is very important … actually that is the main reason I recommend it: once you make the 1st purchase with this card, GreatCanadianRebates will give you $50 rebate!

You can choose to receive the payment via check or PayPal.

From here you can enter GreatCanadianRebates. Then select the menu item of “Credit Cards & Insurance” on the left.

GreatCanadianRebates offers similar promotions for other credit cards. I personally like these two MBNA cards, but you can certainly choose any other card you like. The rebates they offer are all around $50.

One thing to mention is that, GreatCanadianRebates will ask you to register an account with email. The registration process is pretty easy and they give you $2 for just opening an account!

GreatCanadianRebates also offers a lot of rebates for different merchandise. Just check it out yourself then. Enjoy!
