What to check before applying
- Residency, income and credit requirements are set by the issuer and can exclude you even when the card is listed.
- Welcome offers, limited-time transfer bonuses and award availability are deliberately not modelled.
- Confirm the current fee, earning caps, exclusions and expiry on the issuer’s own page before you apply: open a card profile for its sources.
Each card’s own terms decide whether Skywards Miles are earned directly or only after a bank-points transfer, and at what ratio. Open the card profile for the recorded conversion rows.
