May 25 Update: Muir Autograph Collection Halifax will be a Category 6 hotel, discussing unused miles & points plus reduced redemption rates for Amex prepaid cards

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 World Elite Mastercard which is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 70,000 bonus points and no annual fee in the first year! 

 
We have now learned what Marriott Bonvoy category the Muir, an Autograph Collection Hotel Halifax will be. As I had predicted the hotel is a Category 6 hotel which unfortunately puts it out of reach for the anniversary free night awarded on the Marriott Bonvoy American Express card - that is unless there is an Off Peak Pointsavers award available in which case you could use it for one night. We have also learned the opening of this hotel has now been pushed back to November of this year from the projected summer opening. Learn more about this and other new Marriott Hotels in Canada here.

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of being The Informed Traveler radio show again. This time we discussed the amount of miles and points that have gone unused due to the pandemic and what that may mean for future travel. You can listen to the show here.

 Catching up on one more piece of news from last week. American Express is offering a special redemption offer for American Express Prepaid cards until May 30. Right now you can redeem points at a rate of 100 points per dollar instead of 125 points. This points the redemption value at 1 cent per point which is equal to Amex's flexible travel points option and equates to a 1% to 5% return on your spending dependent on which American Express card you have. This is a really decent redemption option if you aren't looking at using your points for travel anytime soon.

The Preferred Hotel Group iPrefer program has extended their points expiry date from June 2021 to December 17, 2021 and also extended current elite members status to June 30, 2022.
