HSBC World Elite Mastercard – Up to 60,000 bonus points + first year annual fee waived (90,000 points + annual fee for Quebec)
– RewardsCanada.ca
HSBC launched a new acquisition offer for their World Elite Mastercard this month. This offer stands out over the previous bonus we saw for the first quarter of this year but still falls short of the introductory offer we saw last fall. Still, seeing that this offer is first year free the card is good bet to grab if you have had your eye on it!A little background on this card – this is not their ‘Premier World Elite’ which is meant for people who bank at HSBC but rather this card is for any Canadian and it is essentially the same as the Premier version. When HSBC launched this card last year it became obvious they didn’t want to only market their credit cards to those who bank with them, rather they wanted to get into the entire lucrative Canadian credit card market. To learn more about this card outside of this bonus offer I would recommend reading our review of the card. Now enough background info and on to the details of this great offer!From now until June 30th you can apply for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard and get up to 60,000 bonus HSBC Rewards Points along with having the first year $149 annual fee waived…April 3 Update: RBC introduces Pay Bills with Points redemption option, save 15% on Etihad’s flights out of Canada and more!
– RewardsCanada.ca
RBC has introduced a new redemption option for those holding RBC credit cards that earn RBC Rewards Points. You can now redeem your points via the “Pay Bills with Points’ options to pay bills like phone, internet, utility bills and more. This may be helpful to some where the vendor is one that normally doesn’t accept credit cards for payment. Think Plastiq, payTM, and a host of other providers who offer a similar service – however RBC’s is different in that you are not using your credit card to pay the bill but rather you points. This is the first of its kind in Canada where you can directly pay for bills with points. There are of course indirect options to do the same, you can use a service like Plastiq or payTM where the charge goes on your credit card and then use a Points for Purchases redemption option that almost all providers have now to pay for that charge. RBC doesn’t tell us in the press release what the redemption rate is for Pay Bills with Points is so we call on the Rewards Canada community to see if they can let us know (we only have the RBC WestJet cards in our wallets and of course it doesn’t work for this redemption option)…
