Banks take maximum amount of Enbridge stock, boosting financing to $2.3 billion
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) says it raised $2.3 billion in its latest stock offering as its syndicate of underwriters fully exercised their option to buy additional shares in the pipeline operator.
The Calgary-based company had initially planned to raise $2 billion, but the underwriters — including Canada’s five biggest banks — bought an additional 7.4 million shares.
The underwriters paid $40.70 per share for the stock. The group includes RBC Capital Markets and its counterparts at BMO, CIBC, Scotiabank and TD. It also includes Credit Suisse, one of Switzerland’s biggest banks.
Enbridge says it will use proceeds from the sale to reduce its debt.
The company also expects the cash will be sufficient to support its growth program through the end of 2017.
Enbridge has a number of projects in the planning stages, including the Northern Gateway pipeline across British Columbia. It completed 14 projects worth $8 billion in 2015.

– RewardsCanada.ca
Last update of the month but first of the week! News, Tips & Tricks WestJet turns 20 years old today, or are they really only 5 years old since they celebrate on the leap day every four years? Either way congratulations to WestJet! To celebrate their 20th they have two offers, a seat sale and a WestJet Rewards bonus. Check out both below! While being added to AIR MILES a few years ago as an airline where you could redeem ‘more’ miles for flights, Delta Airlines has now become a full fledged partner airline of AIR MILES. What does this mean? This means Delta flights will now be priced at the award chart prices (low and high season) that many of you are used to for Air Canada, WestJet, American Airlines etc. I’m not exactly sure when this commenced so it could be old news but I just noticed it when I logged into the travel rewards section of the AIR MILES website. We were going to have a separate post today for the latest Air France KLM Flying Blue promo awards as Edmonton is included again, however the new offers were only up for a few hours only to be pulled by AF KLM…The Best Credit Cards for Shopping

Credit card loyalty programs are a great way to stretch your hard-earned dollars even further by offering rewards for everyday purchases, and retailers are jumping on board.
RBC Rewards recently announced a partnership with Saks Fifth Avenue, and will offer 2 times the points when shopping in-store with an eligible RBC Rewards credit card, and allow customers to redeem points for store gift cards. The move is sure to bring added excitement to the RBC Rewards customer experience for those that plan to shop at Saks, which recently opened its doors in Toronto at both Eaton Centre and Sherway Gardens.
When it comes to credit cards, Canadians love free stuff and there is no shortage of cards to reward the avid shopper. From an issuer and retailer perspective, it’s no surprise that partnerships continue to crop up, as they help to build and maintain customer loyalty for the retailer and increase revenues for the issuer.
