At the start of September we let you know about upcoming changes to the Scotia Rewards program that affects all of their credit cards earning Scotia Rewards points: Some of these changes to the program are now live and we wanted to remind you about them since you may already hold one of their cards or as we recommend you should really jump on the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card right now since the first year free offer has returned with the 20,000 point sign up bonus. The big new option is Points for Credit and it can prove to be really big!The Points for Credit Option is now available and is similar to the American Express Membership Rewards Use Points for Purchases feature in that you now essentially have a cash back option with any of the Scotia Rewards earning cards. The redemption rate is different than the travel redemption where you get $1 for 100 points (or a minimum 0.5% return) as you get the following:This translates to a minimum return of 0.33% to 0.44%. We say minimum since the basic Scotia Rewards Visa only earns 1 points for every $2 spent while all other Scotia Rewards earning cards offer at least 1 point per dollar spent…Two richest Canadians have as much wealth as poorest 30%

The two richest Canadians have the same amount of wealth as the poorest 30 per cent of the country combined, according to a new report from a group of international aid organizations.
The Oxfam report says the wealth of billionaire businessmen David Thomson and Galen Weston Sr. equals that of about 11 million Canadians.
The group of organizations, under the banner group Oxfam International, published its report “An Economy for the 99%” ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which begins Tuesday. The report also said that the world’s eight richest people have as much wealth as the poorest 50 per cent of the world’s population.
“This is not a report about the rich and the poor. It’s about the super-rich and the rest of us,” said Lauren Ravon, the director of policy and campaigns at Oxfam Canada.
Oxfam made its calculations about global wealth distribution based on the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Data book, and calculated the wealth of the world’s richest people using the annual billionaires list from Forbes Magazine, which was last published in March 2016…
