I think my shopping tips could use an update. In the past, I focused more on cash savings on discounts. But there are other factors to consider. Also, in the past, I focused more on Boxing Day specific shopping tips, but these tips will apply more year round as well.
Just a couple of days away from Boxing Day. As I have stated in the past, don’t underestimate the bonuses miles that you can earn through online shopping portals. Currently, the stronger Canadian shopping portal is with Aeroplan. Below are some of the bonus mile offers to watch out for.
Do you ever get faced with the question, which credit card should I get? I am trying to choose between credit card A or B.

As we approach the end of the year, there was a time when people were calculating how many miles they needed to qualify for a specific elite status level with frequent flyer programs. However, a lot has changed since my last post on mileage runs. Namely the new minimum spending requirement with many airlines.
Fraudulent phone calls and emails have continued to be a hot topic. So I thought I’d share my thoughts on how to reduce being victim of a scam.

Avery from DCTA recently wrote a post about How Ontario’s New Law Could Ruin it All, along with my post Ban on Expiry of Loyalty Miles and Points Has Passed in Ontario.

There has been a fair amount of discussion on our blog (Last Batch of Capital One IHG Reward Points, Both Capital One IHG Credit Cards Discontinued) about Capital One’s difficulty in crediting the final amount of IHG Points owed to former cardholders.
I last wrote a rundown about the Scene program on Halloween day. It is actually one of my favourite loyalty programs because of how much movies costs these days, these points have become even more valuable.
There is currently a promotion if you have the Scotiabank Scene Debit Card, which is also one of the rare debit cards that actually give rewards.
