August 12 Update: Scotia introduces flexible payment plans for their Visa cards, Air Canada adding Vancouver-Orange County flights & your weekly drug store bonuses

Here's your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

 
Scotiabank
has followed in the footsteps of other card issuers in Canada like American Express and CIBC by now offering an optional flexible payment plan for purchases over $100. Called Scotia SelectPay the new feature allows eligible Scotiabank Visa cardholders to turn eligible purchases of $100+ into installments. They can choose fixed installment plan of three, six, or 12-months and pay a flat fee with no interest. The example Scotia provides shows a 2% fee ($24) being applied to a $1,200 purchase. This makes carrying a balance on big purchases much more tolerable than the two figure interest rates but do know you do have to pay the full amount of the purchase within the fixed installment plan time frame you selected. Learn more aboust SelectPay here. To see what Visa cards Scotiabank offers please visit our Scotia page here.

Air Canada announced they will be launching a new Vancouer to Orange County (Santa Ana) flight as of October 2nd. The flights will initially operate 4x weekly with plans to move to daily service in 2022. Orange County is the perfect airport to fly to for those travelling to Disneyland or the beach cities south of Los Angeles. This route will mark competition for WestJet which has been operating it for a number of years now and should hopefully mean some cheap fares as they battle it out! The Air Canada flights will be operated with a Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft.
