September 8 Update: Points earned for Red Cross donations count towards Everyday Status Qualification, earn bonus points on Air Canada gift cards & a 50,000 PC Optimum points offer

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. 

 
Rewards Canada reader Jason T. reached out to us via Facebook and asked if the promotion for earning Air Canada Aeroplan points for donating to the Canadian Red Cross counts towards Everday Status Qualification. We reached out to Aeroplan and have confirmation that yes those points do count! Technically speaking you could donate $5,000 and receive 100,000 points which would earn you Aeroplan 25K status. But as Jason also points out these donations aren't tax deductible so if you were to donate $5,000 that's a significant amount you can't deduct that from your taxes. You might have to do the math to see if the Status is worth more than the deduction. Nonetheless this is something to consider if you are nearing that 100K mark and need a boost you to get that status. Click here to learn more about this donation offer.

Be sure to check your email in box for a bonus points offer from Air Canada for buying their gift cards. I received an offer for up 5 points per dollar spent: Earn 1 bonus point for every $1 spent when you buy up to $750 in Air Canada® Gift Cards, and 5 bonus points for every $1 spent over $750. Based on the terms and condition this offer is targeted and not available to everyone.
