Dear Pointshogger Readers,
This post is going to be a little different from what you are used to. This is a letter of appreciation.

Canada Day: Mid-Term Report
Happy Canada Day everyone!
It is also the time of the year where we publish our mid-term report. This post is written at the halfway mark of 2022. We published our 2022 New Year’s wish list back on January 1st and the final report will be published on New Year’s Eve.
Happy New Year! 2022 Wish List
Happy New Year Everyone!!
A new year means a new wish list. Note that we generally provide a mid-term report on Canada Day (July 1) and a final report on New Year’s Eve. To be fair, all wishes have the goal of being a win/win/win scenario for everyone: “loyalty company, credit card company and customer”. In some cases it is just win/win because one party is not involved; for example a credit card company who offers in-house loyalty program with the customer as the other party.
New Year’s Eve! Recap of 2021
As we close out 2021, we continue with our year-end series of grading our wish list from our first post of the year. This report card is a continuation from our yearly mid-term report back on Canada Day (July 1st of every year).
Merry Christmas from Pointshogger!
Over the years, during our Christmas Day post, we would provide shopping tips ahead of Boxing Day tomorrow. We’ve accumulated quite a bit of tips that you can refer to: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
For this year, I would like to emphasis on online shopping, which has really taken off.
Canada Day: Mid-Term Report
With all the controversy surrounding Canada Day, we might not have as much flair today, but our mid-term report is still going ahead since this has to do with miles and points world! This post is the halfway mark of 2021. We published our 2021 New Year’s wish list back on January 1st and the final report will be published on New Year’s Eve.
Happy New Year! 2021 Wish List
Happy New Year Everyone!!
A new year means a new wish list. Note that we generally provide a mid-term report on Canada Day (July 1) and a final report on New Year’s Eve. To be fair, all wishes need to be a win/win/win scenario for everyone involved in the transaction. The 3 wins includes the loyalty company, credit card company and customer. Furthermore, most items on the wish list are long shots, which means that it is not easy to get a high grade. But that is what makes it so much fun for me!
New Year’s Eve! Recap of 2020
As we close out 2020, we continue with our year-end series of grading our 2020 wish list from the beginning of the year. This report card is a continuation from our mid-term report back on Canada Day.
Keep in mind that all wishes are generally a win/win/win scenario for everyone (loyalty company, credit card company and customer) involved in the transaction. In some cases it is just win/win because there is no middle retailer (i.e. just the credit card company and the customer)
Merry Christmas from the Pointshogger Team!
Over the years, Pointshogger has accumulated a wealth of shopping tips on Christmas Day: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019
It might seem a little funny that we are providing shopping tips after the period of time that you need it. So we may start a new tradition on Christmas Day going forward. If you have any ideas, feel free to share in the comment section below.
Canada Day! Mid-Term Report
Happy Canada Day!!
Not quite the start to the year that we expected, but business continues for credit card companies. Now that we are halfway through the year, our annual mid-term report is due. Below is my 2020 New Year’s wish list for the rewards world and a blurb on the progress so far this year. The final report will be published on New Year’s Eve.
