Why Choose PointsWise?
Focused on Amex Canada
PointsWise specializes in American Express cards and rewards in Canada. We publish detailed card reviews, comparisons, rewards strategies and historical welcome bonus data to help Canadians understand their options and decide when an offer is worth considering.
Real-Word Experience
Our guides are based on years of researching Canadian Amex cards and using rewards in the real world. That includes earning Membership Rewards points through everyday spending and welcome bonuses, transferring points to travel partners and redeeming rewards for flights, hotels and other travel experiences.
Historical Offer Tracking
PointsWise has tracked Amex Canada welcome bonuses and card changes since 2019. That historical data helps put current offers into context, so readers can see how today’s bonus compares with previous offers.
Independent Editorial Content
PointsWise may earn a commission when readers apply for a card through an affiliate link, but editorial content is independently written. Recommendations are based on card fees, earning rates, benefits, welcome offers, historical offer data and the value each card provides for different types of cardholders.
Meet Britt Phoenix
Hi, I’m Britt, the founder and editor of PointsWise. I’ve been involved with the site since 2016 and have been tracking Amex Canada welcome bonuses and card changes since 2019. I research Canadian American Express cards, Membership Rewards and travel rewards strategies, with a focus on helping Canadians understand what an offer is actually worth and which card makes sense for how they spend.
I also use the points and strategies I write about. Some of my favourite redemptions include flights to Las Vegas and Hawaii, along with stays at luxury hotels in both destinations. Those trips were made possible through a combination of welcome bonuses, referrals, everyday spending and strategic redemptions.
Outside of PointsWise, I’m a WordPress web developer and spend much of my free time exploring BC, dirt biking, playing hockey and camping.
The PointsWise Story
PointsWise started in 2016 with trips to the Fairmont hotels in Vancouver and Whistler, earning and redeeming points for unforgettable stays. While our journey has evolved over the years, our focus remains the same: helping Canadians travel better.
You may come across older international flight reviews on the site – while these are part of our history, the current focus is on practical, everyday travel tips for Canadians using Amex points.
