Too funny, I just posted some thoughts on visa cards and travel at http://www.pacificspirit.com/blog/2008/06/12/travel_rewards_compared_aeroplan_td_cashback

Mastercard seems to offer a much better kickback program than Visa and often those Mastercard cards have no annual fee. The only reward program that I ever see people use with Visa is for the Aeroplan Cards from Royal Bank or CIBC, but then those individuals are forking out big bucks in annual fees and getting Air Canada flights. Redflagdeals.com has a comparison that is updated regularly which compares the benefits of the no annual fee credit cards (google search: redflagdeals credit cards).

Vancity’s also has a subsidiary (Citizens Bank) that has cards with purpose…Vancity’s has the Envirofund which gives a portion of profits to environmental organizations, but you can go through citizens which will donate to Amnesty International, Oxfam or the Shared Interest fund, which give proceeds to a variety of international groups.

how about just a cash-back card? i remember CITI was offering 2% cash back but I can only find 1% one now. update us on what you find might be useful here too.
