December 16 Update: Points not posting properly in the new Scene+ program and a new Amex Offer for Lululemon

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! 

 
We continue to hear from numerous readers via email and blog comments that Scotia credit card multipliers are not coding correctly in the new Scene+ program. Many grocery and other purchases that should be 5x or 3x points with the Scotia Gold Amex Card
are only posting as 1 point per dollar. We’ve also heard that the total
points balance in some members Scene+ accounts are lower than they were
in their Scotia Rewards accounts. 

If either of these (or any issues for that matter) are happening to
you be sure to keep track of all your purchases that should be earning
5x points and make note of what your points balance was
before the new program launched so that if Scotia does not rectify
these you can approach them to have all the issues corrected. I haven’t
heard from Scotia directly but based upon what I have read they are
aware of the issues and working on correcting them. I have also heard
wait times for calling in are very long, which if I was to guess is directly
related to these issues and others we mentioned in our post earlier this
week: The new Scene+ program is now live, find all the details here!
