October 30 Update: Amex introduces online insurance claim submissions, 250 points for joining SCENE, WestJet adds St. John’s-Ft. Lauderdale flight
– RewardsCanada.ca
American Express has taken a great step for their cards that offer insurance benefits! Now you can submit claims for some of the most commonly used coverages online. The first three insurance claims you can submit online are Buyers Assurance (the extension of manufacturer’s warranty), Purchase Protection (anything happens to a purchase in the first 90 days like lost, stolen, broken) and car rental theft and damage. Find out more about this new offering here. If you have not joined Cineplex’s SCENE program you can do so now and get 250 bonus points for doing so (well as long as you have some account activity in the first 90 days). 250 points is a quarter of the way to a free movie. Find out more here! Not only did WestJet announce the new routes to Atlanta and Barcelona today, they also announced a new winter seasonal route between St. John’s and Ft. Lauderdale.

– RewardsCanada.ca
On Jul 31st we saw the end of the last first year free offer for the RBC Visa Infinite Avion card, essentially it offered 25,000 points for free. That offer expired to be replaced by the standard card offer but now we have new bonus to let you know about! This time you can get 20,000 points and have the first year free but you’ll have to put some spend on the card this time. When approved you’ll get 15,000 points then when you spend $1,000 on the card in the first three months you’ll be awarded with 5,000 more points for 20,000 total – and the first year annual fee is waived. This is the same process as the June/July offer except it is 5,000 points less. Still to get 20,000 points for free is a great deal that is assuming the $1,000 in spending you put on the card is spending you would do otherwise. This is an easily achievable spend requirement only only $333.33 per month so if you missed out on the offer that ended in July this next one is as close as you’ll get to it and is still really good to take advantage of…
