Amex Membership Rewards 25% Bonus when transferring to British Airways Executive Club is back!
– RewardsCanada.ca
Amidst all the hubbub the last couple of days in regards to the American Express referral program getting devalued and the AeroplanPlus Gold card bonus being lowered there is good news! Thanks to our reader Ben S. for alerting us about the return of the 25% bonus when you transfer Membership Rewards points to British Airways Avios! The bonus which had disappeared for several years marked its first return last summer in June and ran through to the end of September. Now we see it again already! This is great news, albeit not as great as many years ago when the bonus was 50% but still good nonetheless.This is one of the offers I look forward to especially since the base transfer rate to British Airways is 1:1. What does this mean? Well you can redeem for my too often mentioned YYZ-NYC roundtrip flight for only 7,200 Membership Rewards points as that flight can be had for 9,000 Avios* (or as little as $3,600 in spending on the Amex Gold Rewards Card), there no other card can match that little of spending for that flight!

– canadianbusiness.com
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – It’s enough to make one of Canada’s most successful folk musicians sing the blues.
Bob Hallett, founding member of Great Big Sea, is now a businessman who invested big-time in a St. John’s restaurant and bar three years ago when Newfoundland and Labrador was leading national economic growth.
Today, it’s among other resource-reliant provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan that have borne the fiscal brunt since oil prices tanked.
“Business is probably off across the board between 25 and 40 per cent,” Hallett said of downtown St. John’s. “Watching oil sink below $30 a barrel is certainly making it harder to be optimistic.”
Newfoundland and Labrador depends on offshore oil earnings for about one-third of government revenues. Provincial finances have been kneecapped in the 18 months since the price of Brent crude fell from US$115 a barrel. It was trading Thursday at just under US$31.
Premier Dwight Ball, whose Liberals took majority power last fall after 12 years of Progressive Conservative rule, warned this week his province is facing a credit downgrade…
