January 19 Update: New Prepaid Credit Cards page on Rewards Canada and the Marriott Bonvoy Business card retains its up to 85,000 bonus points bonus
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more. This update is brought to you by the HSBC World Elite Mastercard which is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 100,000 bonus points worth $500, has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee in the first year! Added yet another new page to the main Rewards Canada site. Over the past couple of years we have been providing more coverage of the Prepaid Credit Card market so it only makes sense to have a summary page of the card offers.The page is in its infancy with several offers listed but don’t worry I’ll be adding more cards to the page over the next few weeks including Stack, CIBC AC Prepaid Conversion etc. Click here to check out the page —As of today the Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card sees its welcome bonus drop down to the standard 50,000 points. I pushed some reminders out on the blog and social media about the 70K offer over the past week however agreements didn’t allow me to state “last chance” on it so hopefully you may have got the hint and grabbed the card if it was in your sights…
I’m a victim of CERB fraud—two years later, I’m still dealing with the tax implications

My excitement faded when I pulled the envelope from a wad of crumpled flyers and opened it. Inside was a T4A from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) indicating I’d received $8,000 in Canada Emergency Response Benefits (CERB) during the 2020 tax year.
It was July 2021. By then, I’d already come to accept that a 2019 data breach at Desjardins credit union, which resulted in my personal and financial information being leaked online along with that of 9.7 million others, would likely trail me for the rest of my life. But I’d hoped that if someone were to steal my identity, the hassles stemming from that would be more easily resolved. Turns out that was wishful thinking.
By the time I purchased my house, I already spent a year dealing with a CERB fraud, whose origins might be linked to the data breach—I’ll never know for sure…
