Point Taken – Disgruntled Air Miles collector explains why he’s done with reward programs
– RewardsCanada.ca
The following interview was posted on the main Rewards Canada website as part of our guide to the upcoming AIR MILES Reward Miles expiration Five cards for every purchase, a vision board of their next “free” vacation destinations–these are the hallmarks of the rewards points lifestyle, one that requires as much dedication to shopping as it does saving. Matthew Irwin is not about that life. As a self-proclaimed “casual collector,” he has spent eight years collecting Air Miles from purchases at Metro, Shell and the LCBO in the hopes of collecting a well-deserved reward for himself. “It was mainly out of convenience,” he says. “They would ask if I wanted the card every purchase and finally I said ‘why not?’” Matthew got his answer late last year, when Air Miles announced they would be expiring the points of many longtime users starting in early 2017. “It was very surprising,” says Matthew of the announcement…If credit score disappears, here's how to get it back

Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for September
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of September! This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good acquisition offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the sign up bonus, but when most or all of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when not taking into account insurance packages and other non-reward benefits. In fact all of the cards on this list for September are first year free so you can try them all at no cost, get over $800 in rewards and decide later on if the card is right for you. All the while earning the sign up bonus which can be used to subsidize your travels! Just ensure you drop any cards you don’t like before your 1st year anniversary. This month we wanted to go with an all no fee in the first year or ever selection of cards so we see the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express dropped (although it is still one of the best cards out there right now!) and the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite card is dropped since it is no longer first year free…
