– RewardsCanada.ca
We can take a bit of a breather today compared to yesterday!News, Tips & TricksRewards Canada reader David alerted us to this disappointing change in the Petro-Points program. As of April 1st you’ll no longer be able to redeem Petro-Points for Cathay Pacific Asia Miles! This comes just as we were working on an Ultimate Asia Miles Credit Card portfolio as the CIBC Petro-Points card is a decent Asia Miles earner. We haven’t talked very much about this partnership on the site (we do list it on our Airlines you can earn miles with Canadian Credit Cards chart) but we are sad to see this option go. Also leaving the program on that day are the Canadian Cancer Society donations and Digital Media Rewards. Find out more here.Hyatt announced the launch of new brand of hotels for their portfolio.

Gazprom and Bank of China sign 2 billion euro, 5-year loan
– canadianbusiness.com
MOSCOW – The Bank of China will give Gazprom a 2 billion euro ($2.2 billion), five-year loan, the Russian state-run energy company’s largest loan agreement from a single credit institution.
In a Thursday press release, Gazprom said this is the company’s first loan deal with the Bank of China.
Driven by China’s growing energy needs, Beijing has been investing tens of billions of dollars abroad to help other countries develop their natural gas resources that can then be exported to China.
In May 2014, the state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation signed a $400 billion contract to buy natural gas from Gazprom over 30 years.
Gazprom, a state-owned oil monopoly, has been hard hit by Western sanctions, which tightened the terms and restrictions on loans from Western lenders to the company.
