How to Improve Your Credit Score – Student Edition
The new school year is in full swing and if you’re a university or college student, then you’ve probably already settled comfortably into your new routine and dorm room. As you buy books, begin assignments and make new friends, the last thing you’re likely thinking about is your credit.
But even at this stage of life, it’s critical that you start planning for your future. That means making smart credit decisions now that will pay off later in life, saving you up to tens of thousands of dollars.

Survey: PC Financial Ranks First in Credit Card Customer Satisfaction
Reward and loyalty programs have become so popular over the years that, nowadays, it’s become the norm for a credit card to offer points and cash-back as incentive to the consumer. According to the J.D. Power 2018 Canada Credit Card Satisfaction Study, 87 per cent of Canadian credit cardholders are enrolled in a loyalty program.  
The inaugural study looked into Canadian credit cardholder behaviours, evaluating their level of satisfaction with several providers and measuring what sparks their decision to apply for a specific card. And nearly half (48 per cent) of cardholders who switched their primary credit card in the last year did it specifically for a better rewards program.     
This likely comes as no surprise since merchants, as well as credit card issuers want your business, and are constantly finding more ways to incentivize their products.   
Rewards redemption and frequency
