Fraud, Fraud and More Fraud

Credit card fraud really scares a lot of people... including you! The perils one can face after their information and/or card is stolen are forever ingrained in our minds but, what about debit card fraud? It's just as dangerous and according to the president of the Consumers Association of Canada more common than most people think.

Reader breadanhitt was one reader surprised by how easy it is to steal debit card information.

"Great information on debit cards. This post is like an eyeopener for me because I am a very careless traveler, but from now I will try to remember the tips listed in this post, so that I can prevent my debit cards from theft."

Porter Air, Air Canada and WestJet offer discounts on a regular basis, but usually they're in the realm of 10% to 15% off.

This week, however, they've made a contribution to the Boxing Day mania by offering a whopping 30% off. All the sales are for travel between now and June 26, 2011 and the bookings must be made by December 30.

Porter Air asks you to enter BOX30 in the promo box. The deal looks like it's applicable to any of Porter's routes.

Air Canada's sale flights are limited - I don't see anything west of Thunder Bay here. Enter code FXKFV7B1.

WestJet's sale is basically identical to Air Canada's, but you require both a promo code (PCR54) and coupon code (BNNPJGC) at the time of booking.
