Small changes to the Laurentian Bank Visa Infinite Card & receive 25 bonus AIR MILES when you redeem Cash Miles at Safeway & Sobeys

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

 
Sometime over the past month or so there were some changes to the Laurentian Bank Visa Infinite Card. It no longer has a welcome bonus offer (the 8x points) or first year annual fee waiver. They have also reduced the pre-authorized debit earn rate from 3 points per dollar to 2. I'm not entirely sure when the earn rate change happened as I don't check on this card as often as others but thought I would pass it along nonetheless. Learn more about this card here.

At the start of March Laurentian Bank came out with a new offer for their Visa Infinite Card. The offer provides new approved cardholders with 8 points per dollar spent on gas, groceries, transportation and travel purchases for the first three months from account opening.
