RewardsCanada.ca Main Website Update (or lack thereof)
– RewardsCanada.ca
For those of you who may not know, the main RewardsCanada.ca site is not a blog although we have the blog feature right here that you are reading. The blog is run on Blogger (Google) so it is web based and we can update it from anywhere. However our main RewardsCanada.ca website, the huge site of thousands of bonus offers, credit card comparison charts, articles and more will not be updated for perhaps a week or more. The reason why is that the site is maintained on our computer using Adobe software and that computer had a major crash this morning. All our data is safe but the logic board is done. Apple tells us it will be upwards of a week to repair and the Macbook this post is being written on is our older computer which can’t run the newest Adobe software.This means we will funnel all info through the blog for the time being and while the main RC site is alive and well you just won’t see it updated with any new offers until we get our computer back. In our daily updates right here on the blog, the offers posted will link directly to the provider’s offer rather than to that program’s page on the main RC site…

British man who was president of electronics company Pace sentenced to 4 years in fraud case
– canadianbusiness.com
GREENBELT, Md. – A British man who was extradited to the United States with his wife to face fraud charges was sentenced Thursday to four years in federal prison.
Paul Dunham, the former president of the electronics company Pace, and his wife acknowledged in guilty pleas in December that between 2002 and 2009 they stole $1 million from the company by charging personal expenses to corporate credit cards and submitting false reimbursement requests. The Dunhams acknowledged that they improperly had Pace reimburse them for mortgage payments on two time share units they bought in Barbados, home furniture, luxury bedding and a dog sofa, among other things.
During Dunham’s sentencing hearing Thursday, prosecutor Leah Bressack called the thefts a “systematic pilfering of the company” and showed photographs of some of the items he purchased using the company’s money. Many of them were furnishings for two homes the couple bought in North Carolina including leather sofas, a picture of a flamenco dancer, expensive fountains and a mosquito repellant system…
