October 30 Update: Amex introduces online insurance claim submissions, 250 points for joining SCENE, WestJet adds St. John's-Ft. Lauderdale flight

American Express has taken a great step for their cards that offer insurance benefits! Now you can submit claims for some of the most commonly used coverages online. The first three insurance claims you can submit online are Buyers Assurance (the extension of manufacturer's warranty), Purchase Protection (anything happens to a purchase in the first 90 days like lost, stolen, broken) and car rental theft and damage. Find out more about this new offering here.

 If you have not joined Cineplex's SCENE program you can do so now and get 250 bonus points for doing so (well as long as you have some account activity in the first 90 days). 250 points is a quarter of the way to a free movie. Find out more here!

Not only did WestJet announce the new routes to Atlanta and Barcelona today, they also announced a new winter seasonal route between St. John's and Ft. Lauderdale. It is a short run from March 11 to May 13, 2019
