There is a week left on the Royal Bank of Canada’s Avion (or RBC Rewards) program’s 15% transfer bonus to WestJet Rewards. It has been running since October 3, 2016, and ends on November 14, 2016. Historically, it is a disappointing transfer bonus, that is why I held off writing about it. I will explain why below.
I thought we’d be stuck with the 30% RBC conversion bonus for the foreseeable future. I really did not expect to see the 50% bonus back again. The last time it was offered was back in the summer of 2015. I am more than happy to find out that I was wrong about this. This is a very pleasant surprise with RBC and Executive Club.
Two of CIBC’s retail co-branded credit cards are being discontinued. The CIBC Petro-Points MasterCard Card and CIBC TELUS Rewards Visa Card. It is always disappointing to see credit cards being discontinued, as it decreases the competition in the market.

The latest in the battle is Visa credit card offering the people of the province of Manitoba a $10 in free groceries if they don’t shop at Walmart.

You probably already noticed by now that I post about the PointsBreak promotion from IHG Rewards a day after it is actually released. I always prefer waiting until the list is official, as in the past, I have scene hotels being taken off or added on after the preview list is released. Though it seems like they are getting better at keeping them about the same.
Halloween always seems like a great time to talk about Cineplex’s Scene rewards program. Since we started blogging, the program has gone through some changes over the years (2013, 2014, 2015).
If you participated in our Club1Hotels Giveaway a few weeks ago, you probably already signed up for an account, so you will be entitied to receive a $50 booking gift card.
Yesterday, we had a part in a news report by CityNews about the Liberal MPP’s bill to stop expiry of rewards points passes second reading. Putting a Stop to Expiry Policies Remember back in 2007, the Ontario provincial government banned…
As you already know, I love saving money, so Walmart is definitely one of the stores that I frequently go to. I know a group of people do not like supporting big box stores. But to win the miles and points game, you have to be attracted to the best deal.
