Everyone loves a freebie. Almost everyone loves a good movie. Put them together, and you’ve got the premise for the
Scotiabank Scene credit card. For the past seven years, the Scene card has helped Canadians catch the latest flicks for free.
This year, Scene cardholders have something else to celebrate besides the arrival of summer blockbusters – Scotiabank is doubling their sign-up bonus for accounts opened by October 31, 2014. This means that new members will earn 4,000 bonus points for opening an account, as opposed to the usual 2,000 points. That’s four free movie tickets, just for signing up!
The way that Canadian families and households manage their money has dramatically changed since the global recession of 2008. Gone are the days of easy access to credit, or mapping out long term financial plans that are set in stone. The world has changed, and people must adapt to it.
Thinking about taking out a mortgage or applying for a credit card? If so, you should definitely make sure your credit score is as good as it can possibly be. Here are six tips to help you take your credit score from good to great.
It’s frustrating to have a credit card application denied time and time again. If you’ve gone through a rough patch financially, and your credit score has taken a hit, you may wonder if you’ll ever be able to use credit cards again. Don’t give up on plastic just yet though, because there’s a card out there for you, and your approval is virtually guaranteed - it’s called (very fittingly!) a guaranteed card.
There’s an old saying that it costs money to make money, but Canadians argued for years it should not cost money to access money. Bank fees, ATM charges, and processing fees are all costs that people incur each time they use their debit or credit cards – adding up expenses every month on banking statements.
