The best credit card just got better.Rogers MasterCard redemptions towards Rogers bill payments gets a 30% bonus. I dunno if this is new or how long this has been a thing as it certainly was not a thing years ago. Kinda big deal here as I pay >$500 on rogers products monthly.

Rich, this has been going on for a while. when you redeem for Rogers products you get 2.6% back.

I check redflagdeals often for these. They are very prompt at posting deals. There is a dedicated thread to gift cards
Sounds like you are using a lot of Rogers services. Today is black Friday and Rogers is having some big sales so today could be a good day to bargain for some deals with them.

Nah Tshi its kinda like pc optimum with rogers redemption. Redeem $100 get $130 off rogers bills/products etc... I think the 2.6% your talking is if you pay using rogers mastercard get 2.6% back in reward dollars

Hey tshi, I have been conversing with a number of RFD folks where they are playing the risk-free angle of putting a good chunk down on injured/inactive players for NFL and hitters not in the lineup for MLB to collect points in multiple different ways: Petro/Air Miles, credit card and finally ProLine.

These RFD folks are not into (or don't know anything about) sports betting so this risk-free approach works best for them (and for us as well, I might add). The tickets will be voided so they will get their $ back but they get to keep the points. Rinse and repeat.

Many of them needs to spend a certain amount on credit cards, for churning purposes and/or to maintain their status with certain airlines so this is a good way for them to do so. OLG has been quick to remove injured/inactive players so we have to be on our toes.

Thanks Bang, with OLG gift cards it can be quite lucrative to churn for sure

Also OLG is having some kind of 12 days of bonanza thing, hopefully you guys can take advantage

both sobey and freshco gift cards on sale for SCENE+ points

I've had success using them for lottery and the SCENE+ points can also be redeemed for more Sobey/freshco gift cards.

Hey tshi, I only play with OLG in stores so I am not aware of any bonanza. Would that only be for ProLine+ (OLG online platform)?

I tried it out when it first went live but quickly lost the small amount of deposit I put in and I have not bothered to reload since. My understanding is winning players will be severely restricted so I don't have any incentive to play with them online.

Playing with them in the stores allow me to remain quasi-anonymous (rich's OPP experience in the main forum notwithstanding), to collect all kind of different points (Petro/Air Miles, credit card and ProLine points) and most importantly, to allow me to scale up, just like the good ol' days, because there is no limit to how much you can play in the stores.
