December 21 Update: Ultimate No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Card Portfolio, New Scotia card designs & Flair Airlines adding flights to New York JFK

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! 

 
Another Ultimate Portfolio update today – this time we updated updated The Ultimate No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Card Portfolio! This
one only had small tweaks to update Scotia Rewards to Scene+ and of
course it has been updated to the new Rewards Canada template. Check out the updated portfolio here!

 —

Scotia has revealed what their cards will look like
now that they are Scene+ credit cards. The new look is being applied to
the old Scene Visa card and to the American Express Cards. The other
cards that do earn Scene+ points are their Passport Visa cards which for
the time being appear to be retaining the travel look. Apparently the
new look cards won’t be available however until sometime later in 2022.
(Thanks to @Joshnet for the tip!)

Keeping on the topic of Scotia we’d love to hear if our readers
happen to have any updates on the technical issues arising from the
launch of the new combined program. Let us know if your total account
balances have been corrected and also if the Scotia card multipliers are
posting correctly yet? We have heard they have corrected the redemption
amounts for any travel (including transit) so that means you should be
able to redeem 100 points towards $1 for those purchases.
