November 24 Update: Aeroplan furthers extends the pause on points expiry to September 2022 & a new 1,000 bonus points offer for Best Western stays

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 100,000 bonus points worth $500, has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee in the first year! 


Air Canada Aeroplan announced a further extension on the pause of the expiry of Aeroplan points. The last extension had the points expiry being reinstated as of January 31, 2022 but that has now be moved significantly later to September 30, 2022.

"...meaning that between now and September 29, 2022, any Aeroplan points which would have expired will not. Effective September 30, 2022, our normal expiration policy will once again apply meaning points will expire if an eligible transaction has not been completed within the previous 18 months prior to this date."

Aeroplan point expiry is in fact only an inactivity rule - that is you need to have some sort of activity in your Aeroplan account once every 18 months. That can be earning or redeeming points. Also if you have a Aeroplan co-brand card your points will remain intact. You will want to make sure you have that activity by September 29 because if you don't you'll lose those points on September 30, 2022.

On a side note I find it funny this comes about a week after I went out to Home Hardware to buy some things I needed but took three Aeroplan cards with me and split my purchase in three to make sure all those accounts had at activity in them in anticipation of the January 31 date! Oh well, at least those accounts earned some points and have their points safe until 2023.

We have come across yet another Best Western targeted but not so targeted 1,000 bonus points offer. This offer awards 1,000 bonus points on your next stay made by December 31. I say targeted but no so targeted as my own experience in registering for these for offers sees them being awarded even without ever receiving an email from BW alerting me to the offer. You can register for the offer here  (be sure to register for the others as well) and if you want to learn more about how these offers work read my article Earning Stories: As hard as I try, I can't get rid of my Best Western Rewards points balance!
