Due to the limitations based on purchases I have changed my way of purchasing to get the most. MBNA Smart Cash recently switched to Visa from Mastercard due to TD Bank. I purchase at No Frills which doesn't support Visa. I purchase at Walmart Supercentre but recently it was not recognized as grocery for the 2%.
My new attack is using Rogers Mastercard at 1.75% and 4% on world purchases and yes I am a Rogers customer so no annual fee. Second is MBNA for gas purchases and lottery at Petro-Canada gas stations for their points as well until I reach the $400 MBNA limit for the month then switch back to Rogers.
I stopped using Capital One Cash because it has 1.5% for all purchases which is now behind Rogers. I always pay on time so no loss in penalty fees.

Good value (no annual fee; free cards for family members) but difficult to find all the benefits. Monthly grocery maximum is $400 for rewards.
The smart MBNA card offers cash back. This is a good incentive to use the card and I enjoy getting the cash back each year.
I am satisfied with it's 2% cash back rewards on grocery. But it used to be 3%... And I hope the reward can be used to pay my balance

The cash rewards from MBNA is better than others. But the other rewards remains the same as others. The rewards has the limit amount in a month.
The agent was so rude and have no idea about what he was talking about. Avoid this credit card to avoid headaches.
