May 29 Update: 30% discount on AeroMexico award tickets out of Calgary, MBNA news & Where is Ampli?

Where is Ampli? It's been nearly a year since RBC and WestJet sent out a hyped press release about a joint loyalty platform they were making called Ampli. Per the release it was due to "debut later this year" which meant sometime in 2018. Well it appears it is almost here, apparently the app is being beta tested at this time and according to their website should be in full release this summer. It does appear they have gone away from being points based per the press release and have moved to a cash back reward. Now it really reminds me of Drop Rewards and app based loyalty programs out there. Find out more here.

AeroMexico is offering a 30% discount on Club Premier award tickets between Mexico City and Calgary. It is only on their Mexican site in Spanish but getting the terms and conditions translated I couldn't find any terms stating it is only for Mexican members or that travel must originate in Mexico City. Wouldn't hurt to try calling Club Premier if you are a memebr looking to redeem your points on their flights out of YYC to see if you can get the 30% discount. Find out more here (in Spanish)

Have you been considering getting the MBNA Rewards World Elite or Platinum Plus credit card? Wait until next week if you have been.
