Why do companies keep messing with your points?

It’s been a tumultuous year for some of Canada’s top loyalty card plays. Blame it on the growing value companies see in consumer data. And don’t expect it to turn Canadians off loyalty plans; industry experts insist we just love them too much to dial back.
The latest change —a marriage of top points programs at Shoppers Drug Mart and Loblaw—is bound to create even more confusion for customers. The move was announced this week, a few months after Loblaw announced an earlier shakeup of its PC Points program, which was prompted by its split with CIBC and spelled the end of President’s Choice Bank.
Loblaw customers were still getting to used to those previously announced changes.

Nova Scotia premier to meet with Michelin officials during France trip
– canadianbusiness.com
HALIFAX _ Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil says he will meet with officials from French tire giant Michelin during a trip to France next week.
McNeil says he wants to discuss the possibility of the company expanding its presence in Nova Scotia, although he says no such project has currently been brought to him.

McNeil says while the province would not offer a financial package to entice companies, there are programs they can take advantage of like the capital tax credit for large corporations.
Last week, Business Minister Geoff MacLellan expressed concerns that Michelin’s North American operations could potentially be under threat should proposed changes to NAFTA be adopted.
But McNeil says he believes the current uncertainty around the trade agreement is not an impediment to landing more investment.
The French manufacturer has three plants in the province, providing well-paying jobs to more than 3,000 people…
