Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more. This update is brought to you by the HSBC World Elite Mastercard which is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 100,000 bonus points worth $500, has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee in the first year! One more follow up to the couple of posts we have had about expiring points & vouchers, specifically World of Hyatt and that program not extending points or vouchers. There is confirmation on several U.S. blogs that you can either call in or online chat via the mobile app with World of Hyatt to have any vouchers that are set to expire on December 31 converted into points. The amount of points awarded depends on the vouchers and according to One Mile at a Time can range from 500 points for a Club Access award to 20,000 points for Category 1-7 free night award. I’ll be testing this out later today as I have a couple of Club Access vouchers that are due to expire! (HT One Mile at a Time)UPDATE: The free points Hyatt gave last December for the wellness video and the points for converting vouchers DO NOT COUNT towards extending your points expiry…
