– ratesupermarket.ca
Canadians with Citibank cards may enjoy the benefits that come with it, including travel and insurance perks. But as of September 22, 2019, Citibank has announced it is slashing those benefits – particularly the ones associated with travel.
The benefits that will no longer be honored are worldwide and domestic perks, include travel, baggage, and emergency benefits:
Travel
Citi Price Rewind
Trip cancellation and interruption insurance
Worldwide car rental insurance
Trip delay protection
90-day return protection
Missed event ticket protection
Baggage
Baggage delay protection
Lost baggage protection
Emergency
Worldwide travel accident insurance
Travel and emergency assistance

– RewardsCanada.ca
It’s been a long time coming but we have finally brought our Travel Hacking 101 article back up to date. This article shows how you can earn Aeroplan Miles or British Airways Executive Club Avios for free It’s definitely not like the good old days when the article showed how to get 80,000 or more Aeroplan miles or Avios at no cost – now we are down to 31,000 miles or 4,000 Avios. Read the article hereYou may have noticed that over the past month or so we have been in the process of removing the Scotiabank More Rewards Visa card from our website. Unfortunately, as of August 31 the card will cease to exist. This is really too bad as it is the best No Annual Fee Travel Rewards Credit Card in Canada (as ranked by Rewards Canada) and was a big step in More Rewards expanding to a nationwide coalition rewards program. That means we have now lost the top 2 no annual fee travel rewards cards in Canada! The other being the American Express Blue Sky credit card. In the coming months there will be two more no annual fee cards (1 travel + 1 cash back card) that will also be pulled from our market however we aren’t allowed to disclose which cards those are just yet…
