September 25 Update: More details on Amex Offers Amazon Prime deal, Hotels.com Stamps & Rewards extension details, 25,000 bonus Be Well points at Rexall this weekend

 

UPDATE: Thanks to Ben for pointing out my vagueness in the below update. On Monday when I first posted about the Amazon Prime offer I posed this as I questioned whether existing Prime members could avail of the offer as well:

"what about existing members who can renew in that time and I don't know the answer yet. I'll reach out to American Express to find out but if I don't hear back I'll be able to report if it works as my Amazon Prime membership renews on October 26"

Basically I wanted to see if the offer would only work for new Amazon Prime Members or if existing members could also earn the $20 credit. The way Amex explained it to me is that it would work for both new and existing members however for existing members you need to pay for the membership with a card that has never been used to pay an Amazon Prime membership before. So in my case as mentioned below my Platinum Card was targeted for this offer and I did register for it before it was closed due to reaching 5,000 members. My Platinum card has never been used to pay the for an Amazon Membership so it should qualify to receive the $20 credit. However if you received the offer on an Amex card that you have previously used to pay for a Prime membership you won't receive the $20 (technically speaking you probably shouldn't have been targeted for the offer in the first place). Hope this makes sense!

I reached out to American Express about the Amex Offers for Amazon Prime (the 5K limit has been reached) and they explained to me that the offer is for customers who have not purchased an Amazon Prime membership previously on their Amex Card. So if you have an existing account that you have never charged to your Amex card or have another card in your wallet you should be able to get the offer. In our house I'll be moving our Amazon Prime account to my Platinum Card as it hasn't been used for our Amazon memberships just yet. 

---

 

Also on the Amex front - I also asked them about any possible extension on the increased offer for Use Points for Purchases of 1,000 points to $10. The reason why is that the same offer in the UK just received a one month extension but unfortunately that will not be the case here in Canada as the offer will still end as originally intended on September 30. As of October 1st you can anticipate 1,000 points to equal $7 for non-travel purchases.

---

Hotels.com has provided an additional update for their Hotels.com Rewards programs. The last time we did an update there didn't provide any published details of extensions of stamps and reward nights. They do have it published now that if you have stamps or reward nights expiring from Apr 1, 2020 to Mar 31, 2021, they’ll extend the expiry date until the end of March 2021. They do state that your account will still display the original expiry date for now. Find out more here.

Rexall is offering 25,000 bonus points when you spend $40 or more on most anything in their stores this weekend. Those points are worth $10.

April 2 Update: Earn bonus points with Dell via Amex Offers, Marriott Amex cards in Canada will not earn 30 nights elite credit & Hotels.com reward night and elite status extensions

There is a new Amex Offers offer for shopping online with Dell. The offer I received on my Platinum from American Express is Earn 1 bonus Membership Rewards point for every dollar in qualifying purchases using your registered Card. To check if you have the offer simply log in to your American Express account online or via the American Express app. You can find this offer and many others listed on our Guide to American Express Canada 'Amex Offers'

** Have you received an offer that we don't list on our Amex Offers page? Let us know in the comments section of this post or the guide and we'll add it!

If you follow any U.S. points and miles blogs you'll have seen most of them post about being able to now earn 30 nights of elite credit via Marriott Bonvoy American Express cards. Previously if you had both the personal and business versions of the card (both of which award 15 nights towards elite status) you would only be credited with the nights from one card. They have now changed that so that the 15 nights from both cards count giving you 30 nights elite credit if you have both cards. Our reader Ron J. asked if the same thing is applicable here in Canada. I reached out to American Express and unfortunately it isn't the case here in Canada. You will continue to only earn 15 nights even if you have both the personal and business versions of the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Cards.

WestJet has confirmed they are booking flights with seat distancing in mind:

Moving forward, from now until May 4, 2020, the middle seat on our Boeing 737s and 787 aircraft and every other seat on our Bombardier Q400 will be unavailable to book. 

We’ve made this change to ensure our guests and crew can continue to fly safely and have more space to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Although it isn't officially published, Hotels.com Rewards is extending free nights that are set to expire. You have to talk to an agent about it so you should expect long waits to get through if this is something you want to try. I recommend reading this post and related comments on Doctor of Credit

And speaking of Hotels.com - if you happen to hold Silver or Gold Elite status with the Hotels.com Rewards program that was set to expire between February and May they are extending the status until 2021. Find out more here.
