April 15 Update: A reminder that the mostly negative changes to Starbucks Rewards and Cineplex SCENE take place this week
– RewardsCanada.ca
Just a friendly reminder that today is the last day for flat rate rewards at Starbucks! Starting tomorrow the new redemption schedule kicks in with Starbucks Rewards. The best redemption options in the current program (fancier drinks and food) will cost you more Stars as of tomorrow. Granted there are now some lower priced options where rewards will start at 25 Stars and go up versus the current 125 Stars for any item. I used up all my rewards over the past week (about 9 in total) for the drinks and food we like. Came at the right time as we were on the road a lot for our kid’s activities! You can read all about the changes in our post Starbucks Rewards – Changes confirmed to be coming April 16 and they’re both good and bad (mostly bad) While we’re on the topic of changes, here is also a reminder that following Starbucks’ changes on Tuesday, the changes to the Cineplex SCENE program kick in on Wednesday April 17.

Home address
Mother’s maiden name
Credit card information
Username and password of online accounts
Health card number
Passport number
A combination of this information can be used to commit a wide range of identity theft crimes.
How do you know if your identity is stolen?
If you receive calls from collection agencies about unfamiliar financial accounts
Inquiries from unfamiliar companies seeking personal information
Notifications from credit cards or banks stating that they have accepted or declined a credit application, you did not issue
Credit card statements reflecting unusual purchases
An effective way to catch it early is by monitoring your financial accounts and getting credit reports issued by two national credit bureaus, Equifax and TransUnion, at regular intervals…
