December 29 Update: 3,000 bonus points for stays at the newest Marriott ski hotel, more Rewards Canada updates & a new online shopping portal to earn miles

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. This update is brought to you by the HSBC World Elite Mastercard which is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 100,000 bonus points worth $500, has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee in the first year! 


 

There is another Marriott hotel stay bonus here in Canada. This one is for one of their newest hotels that we have featured on Rewards Canada several times over the past few months. That hotel is The Josie Hotel, Autograph Collection at Red Mountain Ski Resort near Rossland B.C.. As a grand opening special they are offering 3,000 bonus points for stays of 2 or more nights. We checked it out and it's one of those offers that borders on being worthwhile or not. Depending on the days booked the bonus point rate ranged from $10 to well over $20 more per night over the Member Flexible Rate. On those days where it is only $10 more it might be worth it to go for the points but on nights where it is $20 or more not so much. Click here for more details & to book this offer.

Earn up to 1,000 free miles when you join EVA Air Infinity MileageLands + earn up to 1,000 bonus miles per flight


I wonder if EVA Air hired a new head of loyalty as something is definitely up at the Infinity MileageLands program. The program has been extremely quiet for many years and now all of a sudden they introduce a buy miles option (With an introductory 65% bonus right now), they launch an online shopping portal: The EVA Mileage Mall with options to shop online in 12 countries around the globe and they launch a new member acquisition offer.  This new member acquisition offer awards 500 miles just for joining Infinity MileageLands plus an additional 500 miles when you complete your membership profile for 1,000 free miles in total. Simply join by June 30, 2022 to earn the free miles.

August 13 Update: HSBC releases low interest rewards earning Mastercard, BMO SPC cards discontinued & bonus miles on EVA Air YVR/YYZ flights


HSBC released a new rewards card at the end of July called the HSBC +Rewards Mastercard. The card combines a points earning rewards with a lower interest rate. Of course the trade off between having a lower interest rate is a lower point earn on the card. It will earn 2 points for every $1 in eligible purchases on dining and entertainment and 1 point for every $1 in all other eligible purchases. Points are 0.5 cents each so the 2 points earned on dining and entertainment equate to a 1% return while the 1 point on everything else equates to 0.5%. The annual interest rate on both purhcases and cash advances is 11.9%. There are annual fees attached to the card, $25 for the primary card and $10 for additional cards. Like other HSBC Rewards credit cards you can book any travel you want with this card and then redeem points against that charge up to 60 days after it posts.

Additional benefits of the HSBC +Rewards Mastercard include:
- Price Protection Service: If you find a lower price within 60 days of your purchase the difference will be refunded
- Purchase Assurance –90-day coverage in the event of loss, damage, or theft
- Extended Warranty Insurance–Double the original manufacturer ’s warranty for up to one additional year

My only question to HSBC is why name it +Rewards when RBC already has a credit card named Rewards+. Yes, the plus symbol is on the other side but to me it seems like HSBC didn't research that one tidbit out very well.

We will be adding this card to our comparison charts and HSBC page shortly but in the meantime you can learn more about this new HSBC card here.


 If you are someone who purchases annual United Club Memberships or have being eyeing one - the price went up today for US$650 per year or 85,000 miles. Find out more here (This will also be reflected in Guide to Business Class lounge access)

This is year we lost a decent number of no fee cards in Canada! First it was the American Express Blue Sky Card then the Scotiabank More Rewards Visa and now we can add the BMO SPC Air Miles and BMO SPC Cash Back cards to the mix. These two cards have now been discontinued and cardholders will be moved to other great no fee BMO credit card products like the BMO AIR MILES Mastercard.


Be sure to check out the EVA Air bonus below that offers bonus Infinity MileageLands (gotta love that name) Miles and status miles on their flights out Vancouver and Toronto this fall!

March 16 Update: Rogers and Fido Mastercards being devalued, bonus Infinity MileageLand Miles out of YYZ/YVR & more

Yesterday morning Rewards Canada reader J Smith commented on our feature for No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards for Canadians letting us know that there once again changes happening to the Rogers Platinum Mastercard and Fido Mastercard. It hasn't been too long that these cards underwent changes and now they are at it once again - and the changes, for the most part, aren't good.  You can read all about the changes here.


The good news is strictly on the Rogers Platinum Mastercard and that is the annual fee is being removed as of March 13. The card normally carried a $29 annual fee but that was waived if you were a Rogers customer so the card is now a no fee card for everyone.

On to the bad news, the two cards are being devalued on the rewards side. The big bright spot for both cards was 4% cash back on foreign transaction purchases, hence it being featured in the No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards piece. The cards do have a 2.5% foreign exchange fee which meant you came out 1.5% ahead on all those non CDN$ purchases. Well as of May 23 the earn rate for foreign transactions becomes 3%. So you'll still come out ahead but only by 0.5% now.. On all other spending the Rogers card earns 1.75% cash back and also as of May 23 that is being dialed back to 1.25% on almost all purchases - they will award you with 2% on Rogers products and services. The Fido card drops from 1.5% on all purchasese to 1.25% except once again they'll offer 2% on Rogers products or services. So really they are taking away quite a bit from current or future cardholders. Sure you have no annual fee but losing one point on foreign purchases and half a point on almost all other purchases hurts more than not having the annual fee.
