March 17 Update: Amex Offer for Godiva Chocolates, are we going to see a NEXUS fee increase & an unannounced British Airways Executive Club devaluation

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.

A new Amex Offers offer came out this week. This one is for Godiva Chocolates (perfect timing for Easter!) and provides a one-time $10 statement credit when you spend at least $50 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at www.godiva.ca by May 15. I received it on my Platinum Card but I do believe it is open to all Amex cards since it is listed on their general registration page. Learn more about this and other Amex Offers in our Guide to American Express Canada 'Amex Offers'

If you have planning to apply for a NEXUS card so that you can have it ready when travel ramps again you'll have to wait until at least July to get it. You can go online and complete your application for NEXUS however the U.S. Customs and Border Control have extended the closure of their enrollment centres until July 6. This means you won't be able to have your interview completed until at least that time. Learn more here

Airline Schedule Updates
This will now be a standard feature for the foreseeable future in our daily update posts as we summarize Canadian operations based on data from RoutesOnline and other sources. Remember that many of these route plans are subject to change and right now they are changing frequently!

Air Canada flew their last Boeing 767-300 revenue flight earlier this week which means all international routes will be flown with 787s, 777s and A330s. Such is the case when Air Canada resumes their Calgary-Tokyo flight in 2021 as it is now set to be flown with a Boeing 787-8. (Source RoutesOnline)

British Airways is planning to offer daily service from Toronto and Vancouver to London Heathrow for the month of July. We know they have canned Calgary service for 2020 and still have no word on Montreal flights. (Source RoutesOnline)
