– RewardsCanada.ca
The ever popular AIR MILES Mega Miles event was slated to start tomorrow but it has now been postponed in light of COVID-19 situation in Canada. AIR MILES reached out to us this morning and provided the following:”As a result of the developments surrounding COVID-19, we have decided to postpone the MEGA MILES promotion currently planned to launch on March 19, 2020. As we continue to learn more about COVID-19 situation and respond accordingly, new dates have not yet been selected. We ask Collectors for their patience while we work on finalizing new dates for MEGA MILES. We will proactively communicate the new MEGA MILES dates when they are solidified.”AIR MILES also advised us that they will update the airmiles.ca/megamiles site with an FAQ later today.In some ways I’m not surprised they have postponed it given the current situation, I do hope however that AIR MILES and its sponsors come out with some healthy promotions for the type of shopping people will need to be doing over the coming weeks – groceries, drug stores etc…More Rewards Pile up the Points – Earn up to 20,000 bonus points for collecting at multiple partners until April 8

First, their three grocery store brands only count as one partner, last time they were all separate partners. Second, given the current situation in our country and globally it will probably be tough to get to 5 partners…Scotiabank raising points requirements for some non-travel redemptions including Points for Credit on May 4

Of course only a few days after we put up our post “In light of what’s going on in the world should you shift to a cash back credit card instead of a travel card? Why not a card that has both?” we come to find Scotia Rewards is changing many of their Pay for Credit rates (aka cash back rate), Gift Card rates and Apple/Best Buy Catalog redemption rates. Guess this change was announced back in January and we missed it and Scotia didn’t let us know either. In our piece from earlier this we really focused on the Pay with Points option that many travel rewards and proprietary credit card programs provide as a great stop-gap redemption item in the new world we live in right now. This is where you get to redeem points against almost any purchase you make with a card but still have the choice to redeem for travel or other options. And in our piece we touted that Scotia Rewards was a really good option for paying down your credit card balance to help with your finances and that got devalued – well as of May 4th it does…
