January 22 Update: Receive a $25 Amazon gift card when you redeem HSBC Rewards points, you can have up to 4 personal Amex credit cards & the U.S. looking to implement a quarantine requirement

Here's your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more. This update is brought to you by the HSBC +Rewards Mastercard which is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 30,000 bonus points, no annual fee in the first year and a low 11.9% interest rate! 

 
UPDATE! Thanks to DC for forwarding the full T&Cs of this offer and - you have to redeem 150,000 points in one fell swoop to get the gift card....



There is a new (well, new as of January 15) HSBC offer available to their cardholders. You may recall from last month we brought you details on how HSBC now has exclusive offers akin to Amex Offers and RBC Offers. The offers for Door Dash and Spotify are still available but now they have also added one for an Amazon gift card. When you redeem a minimum amount of points for an eligible reward by January 31 HSBC will send you a $25 Amazon.ca Gift Card. They don't state what the minimum amount is however. I would guess that if you redeem 25,000 points for $75 statement credit (their cash back option) you would earn the $25 gift card. The terms state this is only available for the first 600 people so you may want to get in on it sooner than later if it appeals to you. Learn more here

Avid Rewards Canada reader Harry B. asked us the following about American Express Cards since the Cobalt Card has its amazing new offer and he is thinking of getting the card::

is there a limit on how many AMEX cards we can have? I read on an American site (Miles Talk) that an individual is allowed 4 personal credit cards and 10 charge cards from AMEX. Is this the same for Canada? I only have 2 credit cards currently with AMEX (Air Miles and Marriott Bonvoy) but I've been thinking about this Cobalt card for awhile now.

From what I had recalled we were the same here in Canada but wanted to confirm with American Express what the rules are just in case they changed since the last time I checked. Amex Canada has confirmed to me that is 4 personal credit cards that one person can hold at a time.

View from the Wing is reporting that the U.S. will put in a quarantine requirement similar to Canada's for travelers arriving into the country. Just like here the quarantine requirement would be over and above the negative PCR test requirement that has been implemented. Find out more here.
