with potential savings ranging from $200 to $2,100 according to the examples in this article, there are certain situations where its use is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Since you need to make $25,000 in net purchases on your card to unlock it, a savings of $2,100 corresponds to a return of 8.4% on top of the reward points on your purchases.

So, initially, they are aimed at people with a higher-than-average volume of purchases.  For someone who has &#8220;only&#8221; $25,000 in annual purchases, I would instead suggest splitting your purchases across multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/best-credit-cards-in-canada\/\">credit cards<\/a> as a strategy to give you the best return with your one $25,000.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you have a lot of annual expenses, it&#8217;s definitely a good idea to put a small $25,000 (mostly in the &#8220;other&#8221; category) on a card like the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/credit-cards\/td-aeroplan-visa-infinite-privilege-card\/\">TD<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Aeroplan<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card<\/a> or the <a title=\"American Express<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Aeroplan<sup>&reg;<\/sup>* Reserve Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/amex-aeroplan-reserve\/\" rel=\"noindex\">American Express<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Aeroplan<sup>&reg;<\/sup>* Reserve Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This amount will also be used to achieve Aeroplan Elite status!
