Carrying a balance? The American Express AIR MILES cards are offering 0% balance transfer for 6 months for new customers
– RewardsCanada.ca
A huge no-no for those of you holding travel rewards credit cards is to be carrying a balance for longer than a few months. The interest will kill you and any rewards you can get from these cards. As we mentioned in our post The upcoming year in travel rewards for Canadians: current state and predictions for 2016! the market in Canada has seen balances held on credit cards grow by roughly half a billion dollars in the last year or so!!! That’s good for the credit card companies but bad for the consumer. A sign of the times I guess, people trying to make ends meet in this downtrodden economy filled with layoffs, wage cuts and more.So what can you do? You can get a consolidation loan, you can get credit cards with lower interest rates or take advantage of balance transfer offers like those just released by American Express on their AIR MILES cards. Now, you only get 0% for the first 6 months so this can save you some money on any balances you’re carrying. Well only for half a year and then your paying it again…
Redemption Stories: Etihad Guest miles were going to expire, so I redeemed them for merchandise!
– RewardsCanada.ca
Shot of my Powerocks charger on RewardsCanada’s Instagram!What do you do when you have some miles in an account you don’t use very often and those miles are about to expire? You redeem them that’s what! Such was the case with my Etihad Guest account. I had earned a bunch of miles in the account for free when they were running an offer for free miles for connecting your personal account to a business EtihadConnect account. Seeing that I wasn’t earning Guest miles anywhere else and the best viable flight option was a short haul in the Middle East that wasn’t happening anytime soon I wanted to find a redemption I could actually use. The logical redemption was for some merchandise. Yes I know, that goes against what we discuss right here on Rewards Canada in that merchandise rewards are some of the worst value redemptions you can take advantage of. But is that really so? NO! True, if you have an account where you gain lots of miles or points in like Aeroplan or AIR MILES for so many Canadians then yes, merchandise rewards tend to be a bad value…
