Saturday Updates and Promotions (RBC-WestJet and Scotiabank-Chase Canada)

I plan to start a new Saturday series every few weeks, so long as there is enough relevant updates and promotions to talk about.

Glitch with the American Express Air Miles Platinum Credit Card

[DISCONTINUED] Rogers First Rewards to be Discontinued and Introduction of the Rogers Bank Platinum MasterCard

The Rogers First Rewards program was very short lived. The telecommunications company only really got its rewards program up and running in early 2014.

Thankfully, instead of cancelling our points, they will be transferring the rewards to the Rogers Platinum MasterCard cash back account, assuming that you have the credit card.
