Canada’s Top Travel Points Credit Card with no annual fee now has a 15,000 point sign up bonus!
– RewardsCanada.ca
In our 2017 Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings we crowned a new winner in the Travel Points Credit Card with no annual fee category, the Scotiabank More Rewards Visa card. It took first place without a sign up bonus, that’s how good the card is and it just got better. If you apply for the card by March 31st you can get up to 15,000 bonus More Rewards Points. You’ll get 5,000 upon approval and 10,000 more on your first purchase. A pretty easy way to score those 15,000 points worth around $63 towards travel. Doesn’t seem like much but when you add it in to the 6 Points per dollar you earn at More Rewards partners and 4 points per dollar everywhere else it is a nice addition to the card. You’ll want to read our full review of the Scotiabank More Rewards Visa Card here but we’ll mention again that the 4 points and 6 points per dollar that you earn are the equivalent of a 1.65% and 2.54% return towards travel redemptions. That’s huge for a no annual fee card! And not to toot our own horn but it appears that this sign up bonus is a celebration of us awarded the card first place in this category!Scotiabank More Rewards Visa CardEarn 5,000 Bonus More Rewards Points on approval and 10,000 Bonus More Rewards Points on first purchase if you apply by March 31, 2017 Earn 6 More Rewards points for every $1 spent on purchases at participating More Rewards locations including Save-On-foods, PriceSmart Foods, Overwaitea Foods, Cooper’s Foods and Urban Fare stores and participating More Rewards partners such as Petro Canada and Panago…Loblaw resets passwords for all PC Plus accounts
– moneysense.ca
Loblaw has reset passwords for all its PC Plus rewards collectors’ online accounts after points were stolen from some members’ accounts.
The company posted a warning on its website saying it requires all members to create new passwords — regardless of whether or not they changed them following the recent security breach.
Earlier this month, Loblaw urged members to create unique, secure passwords after some people noticed their points were missing.
The company said at the time that the breach stemmed from people using favourite or weak username and password combinations across multiple sites. Those were stolen from other sites and used to access PC Plus accounts.
The company said it’s reimbursing members whose points were stolen.
