RWRDS Daily Update – December 28, 2023

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

Up to 10% cash back and $100 in statement credits on the Simplii Financial Cash Back Visa Card

There is an updated welcome bonus offer on the Simplii Financial™ Cash Back Visa* Card that provides up to $150 in value when you get the card. The bonus is awarded as follows:

$50 of statement credit after your first qualifying purchase by March 31 with your new Simplii Cash Back Visa Card.‡
$50 of statement credit when you spend $2,000 or more or a $25 statement credit when you spend at least $1,000 within your first 3 months.
10% cash back on eligible restaurants, bars and takeout for your first 4 months. Up to $500 spend.†

While marketed as $150 in value it is technically an up to $130 welcome bonus since $20 of that would be earned anyways from the 4% on restaurants as the 10% bonus is actually a 6% boost on that amount. Click here to learn more.
