RBC devalues Avion transfer rate to American AAdvantage by 30%
– RewardsCanada.ca
Rewards Canada reader Jeffrey alerted us to this change that came about today and it isn’t good news! Holders of a RBC Avion Visa card will no longer get 1 American AAdvantage Miles for every 1 RBC Reward point transferred. The new transfer rate as of today is 7 AAdvantage Miles for every 10 RBC Rewards points. That’s a 30% reduction which is huge! Here is how Jeffrey feels about it:I was/am pretty unhappy about this, because it’s 1) a major devaluation; 2) I wasn’t given any heads up, although I’m on RBC Rewards’ mailing list, because of which I receive the newsletter regularly. Yet that didn’t mention anything about this; 3) on top of this, since my statement closes later in May, it will be too late to charge my credit card with the necessary spending in order meet the minimum 5,000 pts required to convert. (I already converted many points into BA miles).I contacted RBC about my dissatisfaction, but they did not come up with any solution.As I only use that card to convert the points into BA and AA miles, I told them I will stop using the card…Can you be charged for unwittingly committing card fraud?

Home Capital taps $1B from credit line as customers pull deposits
– canadianbusiness.com
Home Capital says it expects to receive an initial $1 billion on Monday from the $2 billion credit line it was provided last week as more customers pulled their savings out of the struggling mortgage lender.
Shares of the Toronto-based lender tumbled last week following allegations from Ontario’s securities watchdog that it misled investors, accusations it says are without merit and has promised to defend itself against. The news spurred many savers to withdraw their deposits, which Home Capital uses to fund its lending.
The stock tumbled another 20.77 per cent, or $1.67, shortly after the Toronto Stock Exchange opened Monday and was trading at $6.37.
Home Capital (TSX:HCG) says it expects the total amount in its high-interest savings accounts will dwindle to about $391 million by the end of Monday, a decline of about $1 billion from a week ago.
It also says the balance of total guaranteed investment certificates has fallen to $12.86 billion as of Friday, down from $13.01 billion as of last Monday…
