Capital One Canada has reached out to me to share a research that they conducted on credit card fraud. This has become a very sensitive topics in recent years, so Brent Reynolds, Managing Vice President of Capital One Canada, also provided some tips below on how you can better protect your personal information.

How crazy is that? CBC published an article reporting that Delta Airline is going to offer up to $9,950 to passengers on overbooked flights. Note that the offer is broken down as follows:
Gate agents – up to $2,000 (up from previous $800)
Supervisors – up to $9,950 (up from previous $1,350)
Delta Air Lines has a fair amount of flights coming into Canada. Of course I would like to see more, to help with the competition. Today’s post is a rundown on how Canadians can utilize Delta’s rewards program called SkyMiles.
Note that Delta Air Lines is a member of SkyTeam. Personally, I rarely fly with SkyTeam, but if I do, I bank my miles to Delta because of its expiry policy.
You can purchase amazing travel getaways across the United States at discounted prices with the U.S. Travel Association through a promotion called the Daily Getaways. Offers are sold at a fixed price in limited quantities on a first-come, first-serve basis. Offers are purchased on the site but booking can be done at a later date. A new offer comes out at 1:00pm ET every weekday beginning April 10, 2017.
One of my readers email me a few days ago about this, I was in denial for a few days. But it is true. If you log into your RBC Rewards account, you will find the following wording:
Please be advised of the upcoming changes to the conversion of RBC Rewards points to American Airlines AAdvantage miles through the RBC Rewards program. Effective May 2, 2017, for every 10 RBC Rewards points which is converted, you will receive 7 AAdvantage miles. A maximum of 500,000 points may be converted annually. A minimum conversion of 5,000 points continues to apply each time.
There seems to be a demand for me to talk about some top air and hotel reward redemption using miles and points for specific places in Canada. I decided to start with Newfoundland and Labrador, as they seem to get very little attention when it comes to miles and points.
After a United Airlines flight between Chicago and Louisiana was overbooked, they initially asked for volunteers to leave the flight, after they were already on the plane. No volunteers showed their hands, so they randomly selected a person, and dragged him out.
I was actually pretty shocked to see this promotion, as RBC rarely waive their annual fees, granted the RBC Visa Business Platinum Avion is a business card, rather than personal. Either way, I am just happy to see this offer. Below are the highlights of this credit card:
$120 annual fee (first year fee waived if you apply before May 31, 2017)
There has been a lot of discussion about the negative changes that are coming to the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card. The question that I have been asked is what to do about it? Let’s first recap the significant changes effective April 29, 2017.
I was asked by a reader to update my last e-Rewards Sign Up Bonuses post. It was long overdue for an update, so here it is!
Keep in mind that e-Rewards is not currently open to the public to sign up, it is currently by invitation only. You will have to provide your email to a partner program who may send you an invitation to join e-Rewards. The partners essentially include the programs that you can transfer your e-Rewards dollars (that you earn) to.
