Lindner Nights: 500 Free Points on your Birthday

Another free points offer to let you know about! This one doesn't have a set link or landing page but if you are a member of Lindner nights you should get this email as long you gave them your birth date. I received the email this morning and already clicked through to receive my 500 free points. I now have 2,500 points, all totally free from the Lindner Nights program. The first 2,000 came from last year's Lindner Nights: 2,000 Free Points for connecting to Social Media - Enough for a cash + points redemption offer that to the best of our knowledge, was only mentioned on our global site FFB (and of course a mention here on Rewards Canada).

Now that I have 2,500 points you can see that it opens up even more options for Cash+Points redemptions based on Lindner nights current redemption offers:

These may not be dream redemption options but considering the 2,500 points to date have been free and these options see the price of rooms in these locations drop from over EUR100 per night to under EUR30 you can see how even some 'small' free point opportunities can be used to save you money!

Have you received the birthday points from Lindner Nights? Let us know and also if you have redeemed any of these points yet for one of their cash+points options!

Dec 3 Update: Lindner Nights Free Points update, 3x Aeroplan Miles at the UPS Store and 15 other bonuses

Here is what we have for you today!

News, Tips & Tricks
Last week we mentioned the Lindner Hotels Nights offer of 2,000 points for simpy connecting a social media account to your Lindner nights accounts and we can tell you that we signed up for it yesterday and the points posted immediately. Now those 2,000 points can't get you a free night but they have cash+points offers of 2,000 points + a small Euro payment (three right now are 2,000 points + 45EUR) for a night at select hotels in Germany. When we checked what the night actually cost at one of the hotels it was 139EUR so this simple offer can save you at least 90EUR if you can stay in one of their locations. For more details on the offer see our post over on the FFB blog.

Nov 28 Update: Lindner Nights added to RC, KLM Worldwide seat sale and a new ultra low cost carrier in Canada?

Here is your Thursday round up:

News, Tips & Tricks
We added a new hotel reward program to the arsenal of frequent guest programs that we cover on Rewards Canada. That program is for the German based Lindner Hotels and Resorts. The program is called Lindner Nights and right now if you join the program and link your account to your social media accounts they will give you 2,000 points for free! While not enough for a free night they do run cash+points offers and many of them right now only require 2,000 points plus a small cash amount. You can find the Lindner Nights page on Rewards Canada here and for more details on the Cash+Points offer see our post over on the Frequent Flyer Bonuses blog.

Aeroplan has a short term bonus for shopping at Home Hardware. From today until Saturday you can earn 3x the miles on for every $2 you spend at Home Hardware, Building Centre and Home Furniture locations. Full details

Looks like another group of ex airline execs are looking to start up a new airline here in Canada. JetLines, based out of Vancouver hopes to bring Ultra Low Cost flights (think Ryanair, Spirit Airlines etc) to Western Canada. It is unlikely they'll have a Frequent Flyer program at launch or perhaps ever as many of the ULC airlines don't offer one except for Spirit Airlines and few others. Source: Financial Post
