May 8 Update: New RBC Offers, up to 50,000 bonus Be Well points at Rexall and Hotels.com provides reward night & elite status extensions

Our Guide to RBC Offers has been updated. There is a new offer for 25% off at Clinique.ca and we see the Frank & Oak offer of 25% off extended to May 31. I received both offers on my WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard. Learn more about them here.

The Rexall Be Well program has now been around for one full week and has another bonus offer. If you shop at Rexall this weekend they are offering 25,000 points if you spend $40-$59.99 or 50,000 bonus points for $60+. Learn more here.

A couple of Shoppers Drug Mart offers:

You can earn 20x PC Optimum Points when you shop online for beauty products and spend $75 or more. The offer runs from today to Sunday. Find out more here. 

They are also offering 5,000 bonus PC Optimum points when you sign up and verify an online account for your prescriptions. The bonus is only valid in several provinces where they have the online service and the province allows points to be awarded on prescriptions. Find out more here.

Hotels.com has finally provided a COVID-19 update for Hotels.com Rewards members. We did have news quite some time ago that reward nights would be extended and this news confirms it along with elite status extension and an extended qualifying window as well. Find out more here.

• We have paused the expiration of any collected nights or reward1 nights due to expire between 1  Apr 2020 and 31  Dec 2020.
  
• We’ll extend all Gold and Silver memberships that are up for renewal between 1  Feb 2020 – 31  Jan 2021 for an additional year.
• Plus, we’re giving you more time to qualify for Gold or Silver membership. We’ll assess nights stayed in the previous 24 months to see whether you qualify for the next level of membership by your new renewal date.
  

Speaking of hotels - we keep seeing hotel occupancy rates increase in Canada albeit by very small numbers - it was 12% a few weeks ago then 15% and the latest report shows 16.6% for the week of April 26 - May 2. (Source HNN)

 One more Mastercard Foodora update - Mastercard Canada has now confirmed on their site that May 11 is the last day as we had reported. They also have specifically noted the benefit ends on that day so it can't be utilized for Foodora outside of Canada. Find out more here.
