My favourite way to pay my Hydro / Fortis / Tax bill is going to change for the worse starting Nov 1, 2019.
Starting November 1st, 2019, Paytm will charge a 1.75% credit card convenience fee on all bill payments and a 1.25% debit card convenience fee on all bill payments for every category. You will not be charged a convenience fee when you make a bill payment using either your linked bank account and/or Paytm Cash, or when you purchase an e-gift card using a credit card or debit card. American Express credit card convenience fees will remain at 3% for all payments.
This new change kills the current way I pay my bills that I use PayTM for – not sure why I wouldn’t auto-pay from my chequing account for peace of mind – instead of their method.
With airline costs increasing steadily and
gas becoming more and more expensive, travel isn’t as easy as it used to be.
Travellers nowadays are looking for everything on a budget, whether it is a
place to stay or food to eat. While spending less is a great way to save some
money, it is equally essential to make the most of our time while travelling to
earn money as well.
Going on a vacation is undoubtedly about
taking time off from work and not having to worry about it. That is why it is
vital to come up with options that allow you to mix pleasure with the
opportunity to make money on the go. Entertaining, fun, exciting, and without a
doubt mobile, here are a few extraordinary ways that can help you earn while
you head out on your next holiday.
Photography
Whether it is using a professional camera or your phone, everyone these days takes hundreds of photographs while travelling. As luck would have it, photos are always in demand, used by individuals, magazines, websites, or as art. To make the most of the photographs you take on vacation, there is a possibility to upload them on stock websites that pay you every time your photo is downloaded. Similarly, apps such as Foap lets you make a profile and upload photos which, when sold, earn you a little income. However, in case you are feeling generous, you can also post your photos for free use on apps such as Unsplash.
Gaming
One easy and enjoyable way to earn money for a Canadian traveller is playing on an online casino. We are lucky to be in one of the more forward-thinking countries that allow gambling, and it’s a mistake not to make the most of it. For those just starting, it is pertinent to know that online casinos such as LeoVegas, Jackpot City, Mr Green, and many more, give out a ton of bonuses to new and regular players all the time, Free spins offers for Canadian players are a great way to get extra opportunities while indulging in online slot games. Moreover, not only can you play from anywhere in the world, but also have the option to earn through a variety of games such as poker, blackjack, bingo, and lotteries whenever you want.
Surveys
If you enjoyed taking multiple-answer exams
in school, this is ideal for you. Surveys are an essential aspect of
information for growing businesses, and in order to reach a wider audience,
they are more than happy to pay for them. In our attempt to look for travel deals to save money, we often
overlook some of the more subtle and easier ways to earn a passive income.
iPoll and the more popular Google Opinion Rewards are apps that pay you for
every survey that you take. Once logged in, you can take surveys on various
genres from wherever you like. Unlike playing on an online casino, the returns
aren’t that great, but it’s pocket-change that can help you buy a coffee while
waiting to catch a train in a foreign land.
Health
Here’s a little trick
that can earn you some side-money. You are likely to find many apps that reward
you with badges and whatnots for exercising more. However, when it comes to
actual money, there aren’t that many in the market. Sweatcoin is one such app
that pays you in cryptocurrency for moving around. Now, most Canadian
travellers love to walk, and one does walk quite a bit when travelling. Have
the app running in the back of your phone while you explore and discover a new
city and see how quickly those steps accumulate into real money.

n Canada, travel hacking appears to be a real big challenge due to the fact that there are much fewer options when it comes to credit cards. That is in total contrast to what happens in neighboring countries where there is a bigger variety of card options, airline taxes and surcharges are much lower. The good news is that there are working strategies that can be used to get these rates down. These are money-saving tips that you’ll need to consider before booking your next casino cruise holiday.
#1. Have you set up price alerts?
Top travel companies offer price alerts on their websites to enable you to keep track on the flights that appeal to you. You will receive email notifications whenever prices go down. Google and Skyscanner are currently the most popular platforms to keep an eye on, and with thousands of partners under their wing, that could be just enough to track the cheapest airfare. Given, these prices tend to fluctuate under given circumstances; it is advisable to book yours immediately you receive something that interests you.
#2. Be flexible and get the best deals
Perhaps you’ve come across travel agencies and websites offering crazy fares, and you’re wondering if they are real. Chances are, they are using a unique KAYAK explore tool where you’re required to select departing airport, set a flexible date and duration, and a budget you’re comfortable with. KAYAK then displays all the available prices within your budget for you to pick. If you can get this tool, you are sure to get the best travel deals with minimal effort.
#3. Work with rewarding travel cards
A dime saved on your trip can go a long way to balance your books. Why would you pay for a hotel or flight where you are getting nothing in return, whereas there are cards that generate redeemable points? Get reviews of different travel cards available in Canada and choose one that guarantees you the best rewarding system. You might get fantastic travel perks or even win yourself free travel.
#4. Consolidate earned points with transfers
If you understand how much value your points are, travel hacking becomes a walk in the park. Different service providers allocate a variety of transferring options from where you can redeem your points. American Express Membership Rewards are believed to be the most valuable in the market and can be redeemed for free travel. Find out some ways you can transfer the same points to other platforms such as Marriott.
#5. Have you signed up for a mailing list?
If you have not signed up for every travel mailing list for fear of your inbox getting spammed by dubious emails, you don’t know how much you are missing. It is one of the fastest ways of securing a travel deal, and would cost you nothing to subscribe to a list. Top travel websites are always punctual in alerting customers in their funnel about upcoming hot deals. Who knows, you might get yourself an irresistible offer for your next vacation.
