Lots happening today (and over the weekend) in the world of travel rewards and more in Canada!

News, Tips & Tricks
As we mentioned a few times in August, expect lots of changes to travel rewards credit cards in Canada this September and they are appearing very quickly! If you missed it earlier today, we already covered the positive change to the American Express Gold Rewards Card and the BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard. But those are not the only two cards changing, here is a list of other new offers or changes:

American Express® AeroplanPlus®* Platinum Card / American Express® AeroplanPlus®*Gold Card is no longer available as of August 26th, 2020. For more information, please visithttps://www.americanexpress.com/ca/en/credit-cards/aeroplan-cards/

.

The American Express Platinum Air Miles has a limited time sign up bonus of 1,200 Air Miles reward miles when you charge a total of $500 in purchases to your Card within your first three months of Cardmemberhsip. Offer is valid until November 30, 2013.

The BMO Air Miles World MasterCard also has a new limited time sign up bonus of 2,000 Air Miles Reward Miles. Earn 1,000 Bonus AIR MILES reward miles after your first card purchase and earn 250 Bonus reward miles each month you spend $1,000 for the first four months.

I'm sure there are even more offers that we have not found or not been made award of yet but as usual stay tuned right here on Rewards Canada for the all latest news .

In non-credit card news, Icelandair has announced new service between Edmonton and Reykjavik for Summer 2014. The flights will operate four times weekly from March 26 and continue until January 2015. They also announced Vancouver-Reykjavik service that will operate twice weekly from May 13 and continue until October 12. Always great to have more flights options to use points. You can always book their reasonably priced flights on a travel points credit card that you can redeem points for the charge or you can go the Icelandair Saga Club route. Outside of flying on Icelandair your best sources for Icelandair Saga Club points in Canada are via Hilton HHonors or the Diners Club Club Rewards MasterCard. (Route news Source: Icelandair)
