[INTERVIEW] RWRDS Canada 23rd Anniversary Contest
RWRDS Canada is 23 years old and to celebrate, they are hosting the RC23 – RWRDS Canada’s 23rd Anniversary contest! So today, we are bringing back Patrick Sojka to share more! Patrick, this is such an amazing accomplishment to have such longevity. You continue to inspire and provide such helpful content. Looking forward to your next 23 years!
1) It has been a year and a half since our last interview, what’s new at Rewards Canada?
In the year and half since we last chatted we’ve really deepened Rewards Canada’s coverage of more of non-travel loyalty programs, whether it’s Triangle Rewards, Petro-Points, PC Optimum, PetSmart Treats Rewards or others, we are continuing our mission to being the all encompassing loyalty rewards and credit card resource for Canadians. Speaking of PC Optimum, our role of being an advocate for Canadian consumers has grown exponentially this year due to ongoing issues that have been frustrating many members of that program. I really hope we get some positive movement from them by the end of the year.

2) Seems like you are hosting your 23rd Anniversary contest. That is an amazing accomplishment! Can you tell us more about it and how someone can participate?
Yes we are having a big contest to celebrate 23 years of Rewards Canada! We figured 23 is a good time to celebrate and hopefully it sets the stage for an even bigger birthday bash in two years when we hit 25 years. The contest is open to all Canadians aged 18 and over. Entering the contest is easy, simply leave a comment on our contest page and subscribe to our newsletter. Additional entries can earned by following us on our various social media channels. The 12 prizes we are giving away are amazing and they consist of points, miles, flight vouchers, elite status, and a smart phone. We have to give a big thank you to the contest sponsors who are Coast Hotels, Porter Airlines, Rogers Bank, Air France KLM, WestJet, Loyalty Status Co. and Air Canada. The contest runs until September 17 and people can enter at RWRDS Canada’s 23rd Anniversary Contest!
3) What can we look to with Rewards Canada?
There’s lots you can look forward to with Rewards Canada in the short and long term. We’ve got an exclusive loyalty program offer launching shortly that we are super excited about, our Canada’s Choice awards will be coming soon where Canadians vote for their favourite credit cards and loyalty programs. Plus, we are going to continue our no holds barred coverage of the all the cards and programs. And by that I mean if a card or program is good, we’ll tell you it’s good. If a card, or program sucks, we’ll tell you it sucks. No fluff to try to sell you on it.
4) Any closing thoughts?
I would like to thank all of Canada (and many people from outside of Canada) for their continued support of Rewards Canada for over two decades now. And a big thank you to Pointshogger for letting us share our latest story!
