American-based Chase Bank is bowing out of Canada s credit card market, and it has an unusual parting-gift for its customers: The bank is forgiving all outstanding debt on its asics outlets two Visa cards in the country.

It s probably up there nike dunk with winning the lottery or discovering an inheritance from a rich billionaire uncle you didn t know you had, he said.The Amazon and Marriott Visa cards were retired in Canada last year, but many users were still paying the cards off.
