Happy Canada Day! Mid-Year Report
It is that time of the year again where I provide my mid-year report on my New Year’s wish list. So far, at the mid-point of every year, I look back at my wishes for the new year and compare what the industry has done against it. Let’s take a look on how things are fairing so far this year.
Minor Improvement to the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card
The American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card (Canadian version) has been slightly upgraded.

I Like Black Designed Credit Cards

Rundown of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan for Canadians (updated June 20, 2016)
Even with the major devaluation hit on Alaska Airlines’ loyalty program, Mileage Plan, these miles are still very valuable to redeem for flights to Asia. Unfortunately, it is not easy to earn Mileage Plan miles.
[PROMOTION] 30% RBC Rewards Conversion Bonus to British Airways’ Executive Club
The 30% RBC conversion bonus to British Airways Avios is back. Not as the 50% that has been offered in the past, but those days may be long gone at this point.
[DISCONTINUED] RBC Shoppers Optimum MasterCard
It was only a matter of time before this credit card gets discontinued, since the Shoppers Drug Mart buyout by Loblaws, which runs the PC Plus program.
