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.

According to an interview with Air Canada Aeroplan execs that Anshul at Points, Miles & Bling had over this past weekend the buddy pass conversion option is based on the date you apply not the date the buddy pass posts to your account - this means you can apply for this card by April 30 and be able to convert the buddy pass to Aeroplan points once it posts to your account. Please note there are mentions on other sites the conversion option is being extended however there is no confirmation of this just yet - we have reached out to Air Canada and should know by April 23 if this will be happening. In the mean time we have updated a trio of articles we posted back at the end of March / beginning of April to note this change on being able to convert the pass based on the date you apply:

Coast Hotels Coast Rewards - Double points on all stays until May 6

Those points can be used for free night award with Coast Hotels or be converted to programs like Air Canada Aeroplan or Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan.

There is also a separate promotion offering Double Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles until April 30 if that is more appealing to you!

Earn Triple Aeroplan Miles for stays at Coast Hotels in October and November

 

Coast Hotels and Aeroplan have teamed up once again to offer triple Aeroplan miles for stays this fall. Last seen this past spring the bonus is perfect for many Western Canadians who are staying closer to home for their fall travels. If you happen to be traveling in Alberta or B.C. this is an offer to keep in mind for your stays. 

The base earn rate for Coast Hotels is 250 to 500 miles depending on the hotel so with this offer you'll end up earning 750 to 1,500 miles. As it is a flat rate earn the bonus is best for one night stays. Those longer stays may be a toss up as to whether to credit to Aeroplan or to Coast Rewards. The reason why is that on occasion Coast Hotels has transfer bonuses to Aeroplan. In fact one is going on right now which is offering 4x the miles when you convert Coast Rewards points to Aeroplan. Now this transfer bonus is pretty infrequent and in fact I feel like it will end prior to this Triple Miles offer kicking in and who knows when it will come back again as it has been a couple of years since we saw this big of bonus. Then you have to do the math - if you don't hold elite status with Coast Hotels you earn 1 Coast Rewards Point per dollar spent. So if you have $100 night stay for three nights you'll earn 300 points which with the current transfer bonus is 1,200 miles. Depending on the hotel that's less than the 1,500 miles you can earn with the Triple Miles bonus. Again it comes down to doing the math and also asking yourself how quickly do you want those Aeroplan Miles - with the triple miles on a stay you'll get them in a few weeks, with Coast Rewards points and waiting to convert with a bonus it could be months or years. In my mind I'd go with the Triple Miles on each stay.

Offer details
Triple Aeroplan Miles on all Coast Hotels stays in Canada and the U.S. Full details & online booking. Book now for stays Oct 1 - Nov 30, 20
Be sure to set your Coast Rewards earning preference to Aeroplan Miles to earn the miles

Great transfer bonus from Coast Rewards to Aeroplan - earn up to 300,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles!

The Coast Hotels Coast Rewards awesome transfer bonus to Aeroplan has returned! Last seen in October of 2016 (at least that's the last time we posted about it here on RC) the bonus provides 4x the Aeroplan miles for every Coast Rewards points converted. This means you can get anywhere from 2,000 to 300,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert those points. That's right, 300,000 bonus Aeroplan miles. This time around the offer is even better than the 2016 version as that time it was triple miles on all transfer levels and only quadruple on the highest redemption option. That's not the case this time as you'll get quadruple miles on all transfers!

These are transfer levels from Coast Rewards and the miles you'll get:
1,000 Coast Rewards Points = 4,000 Aeroplan Miles (1,000 base + 4,000 bonus)
1,500 Coast Rewards Points = 6,000 Aeroplan Miles (1,500 base + 4,500 bonus)
5,000 Coast Rewards Points = 20,000 Aeroplan Miles (5,000 base + 15,000 bonus)
10,000 Coast Rewards Points = 40,000 Aeroplan Miles (10,000 base + 30,000 bonus)
20,000 Coast Rewards Points = 80,000 Aeroplan Miles (20,000 base + 60,000 bonus)
50,000 Coast Rewards Points = 200,000 Aeroplan Miles (50,000 base + 150,000 bonus)
100,000 Coast Rewards Points = 400,000 Aeroplan Miles (100,000 base + 300,000 bonus)

 

I don't know how many of you out there have 100,000 Coast Rewards Points as there are only 35 hotels to earn points at with a 1 point to 1.5 point / dollar earn rate but I suspect there may be one or two of you who do have that many points and for you to get 400,000 Aeroplan Miles is pretty sweet. The website doesn't state an end date for the promotion but if 2016 is any indication this will only be around for a couple of weeks. Learn more about this promotion here.

Coast Hotels Coast Rewards Points Bonanza - Earn double points or miles on all stays until September 14

 

As soon as Coast Hotels last double points promo ended last week they revealed another one! Points Bonanza, mmm Bonanza, I wish Bonanza buffet was still around (I do believe there is one in Edmonton... maybe our YEG readers can confirm) but then again this pandemic has kind of put a stop to buffets for the most part.... Sorry, time to get back on track here! The Coast Rewards points bonanza takes their previous double points promotion but expands it beyond Coast Rewards to include all of their earning partners. This means you can earn double points or miles with five different programs. Simply choose your earning preference in your Coast Rewards account and any stays until September 14 will earn double in that program. This means for Aeroplan each stay will earn 500 to 1,000 miles, Mileage Plan will be 1,000 miles, Hawaiian is 400 and More Rewards will be 2 points per pre-tax dollar.

Offer details:
Earn Double Coast Rewards Points, Aeroplan Miles, Mileage Plan Miles, HawaiianMiles or More Rewards Points when you stay at any Coast Hotels location in Canada or the U.S. Full details Until Sep 14, 20

Summary of global hotel systemwide bonus points promotions – July Edition


Here is your monthly update of all the global hotel bonus points promotions that are available. We are starting to see more offers emerge as hotel companies try to encourage any sort of travel now that there is even the smallest glimmer of hope that parts of the world are starting to return to normal.

One of the easiest ways to rack up lots of hotel points is to take advantage of these systemwide bonuses that come from many of the big chain programs and also from the lesser known programs. In fact, right now it should be rare for you NOT to earn a bonus. Unless you are staying at a boutique hotel or perhaps an independent hotel most other hotels out there have a bonus. So take advantage of it! These systemwide bonuses simply require you to register beforehand and they do not affect hotel pricing as long as you book a point eligible rate which are most rates out there. Of course booking through a third party site like Expedia or Rocketmiles does not count as most chains only award points on bookings that are made directly with them. Without further ado here are all the current promotions that are available to everyone:

April 30 Update: Mastercard pulls Foodora offer from their site, Coast Hotels providing Fort McMurray evacuee discounts and more elite status extensions


We haven't heard back from Mastercard Canada about the Foodora news we brought to you earlier this week but did see that as of today the offer has been pulled from Mastercard Canada's website. You can however still access the offer directly on Foodora's website here. Seeing that it is not on Mastercard Canada's website however leads me to believe this offer is being removed completely and won't be available to use with Foodora in other countries.

April 15 Update: Earn 3x Aeroplan Miles at Coast Hotels until the end of June, 20% bonus Avios on your first British Airways eStore purchase and WestJet cuts 5 domestic routes


A reminder of a bonus offer we let you know about quite a few weeks that just launched this past Monday. That offer is for 3x Aeroplan Miles when you stay at Coast Hotels until June 30. I know many of you aren't travelling but if you do have some essential travel and Coast Hotels are somewhere you might stay check out this offer. The base earn rate is 250 to 500 miles depending on the hotel so with this offer you'll earn 750 to 1,500 miles.
