The Standard Brief
The week in Canadian cards, with the math shown.
One email a week: offer deadlines ranked by real net value, the monthly valuation re-mark, and one concrete move. Every number traces to the public index— if we can't source it, we don't send it.

The format
Five sections, five minutes
The mark
What points are worth right now — the index re-mark, plus the week's market moves: closures, fee changes, intro offers.
Clock running
Every confirmed offer deadline, with full value and first-year net side by side — the net column is the point.
The move
One concrete, dollar-quantified play for the week. Not ten ideas — one, with the arithmetic in the email.
What we'd skip
One offer or redemption we'd pass on, with the math for why. The section sponsored content can't write.
New on the Standard
Rankings, reviews, and tools that shipped — so you see re-scores before anyone else.
