It’s back – you can buy oneworld elite status with Finnair’s latest buy points offer


Finnair has brought back their best ever buy points bonus and since the airline is part of the oneworld alliance this offer may be of use to some oneworld flyers. This buy points bonus has two parts to it – the first is your standard bonus on the points you buy, which in this case is anywhere from 0% to 100% and the second is the awarding of elite qualifying tier points on those purchases as well. They’ve also upped the maximum you can buy this year to 200,000 points from the previous 150,000. This offer is available until December 27, 2021

December 8 Update: SCENE unavailable at select restaurants until December 13, stay 2 nights in Mississauga and get a $100 prepaid card, Finnair launching Seattle to Helsinki flights

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! 

 
One further Scene+ update made its way through our email. As a follow up to last week's news about Scene being unavailable the program let members know as well that as they prepare the upgrade members will not be able to earn or redeem points from today to December 12 at the following restaurants:
Swiss Chalet®, Harveys®, Montana’s BBQ & Bar®, East Side Mario’s®, Kelseys Original Roadhouse®, Bier Markt®, The Prime Pubs®.

You can buy yourself oneworld elite status with Finnair's latest buy points offer of up to 100% bonus points + 25% bonus tier points

 Finnair launched their best ever buy points bonus today - and while Finnair Plus' program is one that most Canadians don't think about as they only have seasonal flights out of Toronto - the airline is part of the oneworld alliance so this offer may be of use to some oneworld flyers.

What makes the offer worthy of its own post beyond our typical listing of it in our bonus offer pages (Rewards Canada does have a Finnair Plus bonus points page here) is the bonus tier points portion of it. Right now when you buy Finnair Plus points you can receive up to 100% bonus Plus Points AND 25% bonus tier points. Here's where things get interesting - the 25% bonus tier points is on the entire amount you receive from buying points - that is the base amount plus the bonus. So if you buy150,000 Finnair Plus Points you'll end up with 300,000 points and 75,000 Tier Points! Those 75,000 Tier Points will automatically give you Finnair Plus Silver Status which provides oneworld Ruby status and you would only be 5,000 Tier Points shy of Gold and 75,000 shy of Platinum. Both of which you can achieve with this buy points offer. How so? Read on...

October 22 Update: BMO World Elite Grand Cru offer returns, LifeMiles award chart changes, Finnair Transatlantic bonus

Nice to see more news and bonuses in our daily update!

News, Tips & Tricks
I want to thank everyone way down East who tuned in and called or emailed their questions for my appearance on CBC Maritime Noon. The 45 minutes went by quickly and I was told there were many calls and emails that they just weren't able to get to. So feel free to email them us! Simply visit our contact page to submit your questions.

Thanks to Rewards Canada reader Stephen H for forwarding the details of the return of the Grand Cru BMO World Elite MasterCard offer. Looks like have really tighten their grip on it this time round as I'm guessing a lot of non-Grand Cru supporters applied for this amazing deal the last time it was offered. This time you have to attend the Grand Cru event/auction next week (Oct 29/30) to be able to apply for the card. If you are going to the event make sure you do apply for it! You get a 40,000 point sign up bonus (instead of 30,000) and the first THREE YEARS with no annual fee (that saves $450!!) Find out more about this offer here.


Many times over the past few years we have brought you details about buying Avianca LifeMiles and how you can use them for Star Alliance flights. Good news from that program today as they have reduced the miles required (how often do we see that happen!!) for award flights in Business Class or First Class between North America and Brazil (like Air Canada's flights) and between Brazil and Europe in all fare classes.
