  • Some more sad news for Canadian online shoppers. Just weeks after Canadian Tire, HBC has shut down its ecommerce sites. As of today you can no longer shop online at TheBay.com, HomeOutfitters.com, or Zellers.com. HBC announced 1000 layoffs yesterday but there was no mention anywhere of ending online shopping at any of their banners. It was just last May that HBC actually relaunched their online storefronts under seperate banners and added additional products to their online inventory.

    Our readers were quick to notice the change this morning. There's already a thread here asking if online shopping is coming back to HBC's stores hoping that this is just temporary. We hope that's the case as this would be another big loss for Canadian shoppers and a move that will hurt HBC in the long run as well.

    UPDATE: An e-mail that some of our readers have reported receiving:

    As part of a strategic review, we have decided to suspend the sale of merchandise on our banner websites - The Bay, Zellers, Home Outfitters and Hbc.com as of Thursday, February 5th, 2009. Over the coming months, we will be developing an e-commerce strategy for each of the banners and plan to re-launch in the future.

    The Hbc Rewards, Hbc credit and other related sites will continue to be available as will all of the store information.

    More information will follow once available.

    Sincerely,

    Mark Kinnin

  • We've launched a new section on RedFlagDeals.com that let's you compare and sort over 100 Canadian Credit Cards. Because of the realities of the economy right now, many of us are being forced to carry a larger debt load than we would like, so finding a credit card with low interest rates can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the debt. If you don't have to carry a balance, finding a credit card with great rewards or cash back is great to have. You can visit the new section here:

    And via the entry form, Donna from Toronto with this story:
    Our Valentines Day from Hell started innocently enough.

    My husband and I decided to celebrate our first Valentines Day as a married couple by inviting both sets of parents to our home for dinner. My parents are very traditional Chinese, and my husbands parents, very old fashioned Italians, were just visiting from their small village in Italy.

    We had just adopted an adorable puppy from the local pound who was addicted to chew toys. Before our guests arrived, we hurriedly tidied up and threw the puppy's toys into the closest cupboard.

    After dinner, my mother was helping me clear the table, when I heard a crash, as she suddenly dropped the large dish of food that she was carrying. My eyes followed her horrified stare to see my father-in-law playing Frisbee with our puppy in the living room. The Frisbee was my old DIAPHRAGM that the puppy had dug out of a cupboard while looking for his chew toys! My in-laws had no idea what the frisbee really was but my parents did.

    That unforgettable and embarrassing scene has haunted us every Valentines Day since!

    The winners have each won one of the following prizes from ICE.com:

  • It was a very busy Christmas/Boxing Week for all of us at RedFlagDeals.com, but it's our servers that faced the brunt of it! Just for fun, I thought I would share some quick stats from our busiest time of the year!

    Here's a quick recap of December 2007's traffic:
    • Visits: 4,860,053
    • Unique Visitors: 1,748,766
    • Page Views: 38,123,461


    Peak Day: December 24, 2007
    • Visits: 292,761
    • Unique Visitors: 185,843 (peak uniques was Dec. 25 - 189,165)
    • Page Views: 3,439,458
    And here's a graph to help you visualize what sort of spike the servers have to deal with. The first graph shows visitors:
    RedFlagDeals.com Visitors

    This graph shows the daily pageviews:
    RedFlagDeals.com Pageviews

    Thankfully, it's a fairly predictable spike, so we were able to upgrade our hardware this Fall and rent a few extra servers during December to handle the flyer downloads. We served nearly 6 million flyer pages this year!
