The DESJARDINS VISA has caught my eye.The card offers a 1% cash back concerning all purchases.What makes the card interesting is the cash back can be applied to bank fees or may be deposited into an RRSP plan or other investment instruments that are offered by DESJARDINS.There is no minimum required before the dollars can be redeemed. I plan to apply the dollars to the bank fees. We will see how this will play out Hello Kevan;the starbucks card has been put to rest.

Reality does set in when the statement arrives.As well as the Second Cup coffee card re-load,I have added the rbc Starbucks visa to the Tim Hortons auto load coffee card.If I could, Dunkin Dounuts would be added as well.

Maybe Starbucks needs to include a section about the Duetto card in their training, so employees can understand it better.

I still have to explain the benefit of the card to Starbucks employees.I guess some one has to do it. There are still the odd occaision when an employee does not understand the function of the card.

Hey Kaylie: It really is a rad deal for Sbux freakz like us, so it's probably worth the hassle of switching. I gotta say, I still prefer the web banking interface of TD, though.

I have definitely thought about getting one of those, especially given that I'm already an RBC customer.
