News, Tips & Tricks

The new Sears Club program launched today! Now you don’t have to have Sears branded credit card to earn points. The new program offers:

“1 Sears Club Point for every 1 dollar you spend* at Sears,
whether you use cash, debit or any credit card. accepted by Sears
Canada, when you present your new Sears Club™ Rewards Card.” 

To celebrate they are offering 3x points until the end of the year. You can sign up for the new Sears Club program here. Now we just have to wait to see what the credit card offerings for this program will be from Scotiabank!

Although not concrete it looks like Calgary will be getting their
first direct service to China in June of 2016 and its not on Air Canada!
If applications go throught it will be China’s Hainan Airlines offering 4x weekly service between Calgary and Beijing. Find out more here.

Also on the news of Calgary, Air Canada is going all 787 service for Europe flights in the summer of 2016 as will AC’s Toronto to Tokyo Narita service. (Source Airlineroute.net)
