Some great new bonuses to tell you about today! News, Tips & Tricks Air Canada will be increasing their service to Istanbul from Toronto to 4 times weekly for the winter season, always good news for those redeeming Aeroplan miles for flights to this region or connecting elsewhere via IST on Turkish Airlines. (Source: Airlineroute.net) In the bonus offers section Wyndham Rewards has launched a new promotion for their members who reside in the U.S. and Canada. The promo starts off as a game where you unpack a suitcase to reveal the bonus you will receive for the first four of your stays this summer. The bonus can either be 2x, 4x, 5x or 10x the points. At the 2x points level you’re earning 20 points per dollar which isn’t too bad but if you are one of the lucky ones who gets 4, 5 or cross your fingers 10x the points then this promotion can be very lucrative!

Tim Hortons and CIBC launch Double Double Visa card
– moneysense.ca
TORONTO – With the press of a button, Tim Hortons (TSX:THI) is hoping Canadians will warm to a new credit card partnership.
The coffee and doughnut chain has joined CIBC (TSX:CM) for the “Double Double Visa Card,” which includes physical buttons built into the plastic.
Cardholders can press one of two options on the face of the card — a button that accesses their Visa account or another that lets users redeem loyalty points for products at the company’s restaurants.
The coffee and doughnut chain has joined CIBC (TSX:CM) for the “Double Double Visa Card,” which includes physical buttons built into the plastic.
Cardholders can press one of two options on the face of the card — a button that accesses their Visa account or another that lets users redeem loyalty points for products at the company’s restaurants.
Each button has a coloured light that illuminates when the user activates one of the options on the card.
While credit cards with buttons aren’t new, this is a first for Canada.
Previously, Citibank ran a pilot program in the U.S. which tested button technology with a select number of its clients. That card has since been discontinued.
The CIBC and Tim Hortons card allows users to earn points on purchases they charge to their no annual fee Visa card, collecting a cent on every dollar in Tims Cash rewards, the companies said…
July 1, 2014: Interest rates on new card offers rose this week for the first time in two months, according to the CreditCards.com Weekly Credit Card Rate Report.
