Take Away
If you had to keep one non-premium Aeroplan credit card in your wallet, the American Express Aeroplan Card would be it. Aeroplan has strict terms against repeat welcome bonuses across product types, regardless of the issuer. This means members will be granted one New Card bonus for each type of Aeroplan Credit Card.
