November 30 Update: SWISS First Class was available for booking – we missed it, Plum Rewards added to bonus offers, Stay 2 Get 3 with Hyatt & Amex
– RewardsCanada.ca
If you read a lot of other frequent flyer/miles/points blogs your RSS feed may have exploded with this anomalous offer just like ours did. Overnight SWISS First Class became available to redeem for with Aeroplan Miles, MileagePlus miles and most other Star Alliance programs! Normally SWISS First Class is not available as an award to anyone but Miles & More Senator members but for some reason it opened up. We’ve seen it happen earlier this year and once back in 2016.We did our best this morning to find availability but couldn’t find anything leading us to believe that this amazing redemption offer was caught by SWISS and corrected by the time we got to work hence no post from us about it. It does tell us one thing – you shouldn’t sleep at all. You need to be awake 24hrs a day to catch these offers! Just kidding, what you should be doing is making sure you follow many blogs so that you don’t miss out on any potential offers. By the way, in our search for the SWISS First Class we did come across some Lufthansa First Class availability out of New York City on Aeroplan and this was a few months out – not 14 days like you typically see when trying to book LH First…TransUnion report projects uptick in credit card delinquency rates in 2018

TORONTO _ Expectations of higher interest rates in 2018 and a slight cooling off of the Canadian economy may see more consumers defaulting on credit card loans next year, a report by TransUnion Canada says.
While the credit rating agency expects Canadians to maintain relatively stable delinquency levels over the next year, it projects the serious delinquency rate for credit cards will rise to 3.63 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018 from 3.02 per cent this year.
The agency also projects the average Canadian consumer’s credit card balance will increase to $4,220 in the final quarter of 2018 from about $4,155 projected this year.
TransUnion says the overall serious delinquency rate for non-mortgage debt _ which includes auto loans, credit cards, instalment loans and lines of credit _ is otherwise expected to be essentially unchanged next year. It projects an increase to 5.65 per cent in the final quarter of 2018 compared with 5.63 per cent in the last quarter of this year.
The agency also says the serious mortgage delinquency rate is expected to remain roughly unchanged at 0…
