From wineries to home decor stores we have another great update to confirmed multiplier locations for the American Express Cobalt Card

 

Another shout out to the Rewards Canada community for providing us even more merchants for our American Express Cobalt Card Confirmed Multiplier Locations feature. The list keeps growing every week and is a good way for you to check where you can earn the amazing 5x points per dollar on the Cobalt card but is also a good reference as to which places accept Amex in general. Even though this feature is for the Cobalt Card you can definitely extrapolate some of the merchants for the multipliers on the Platinum Card, Gold Rewards Card, Business Edge Card and Scotiabank Gold American Express card.

In this latest update we give props to FM and Christian for providing over a dozen new locations for the list.

FM has provided us with another good sized update for our Amex multipliers. Looks like they had some fun this past summer hitting up many wineries in BC! It is interesting to note how some of them show up as 5x multipliers but others are only 1x. All of the below locations that we list here are new to the feature:

5x points locations:

• Poplar Grove Cheese
• Mooded Merganser
• Foxtrot Vineyards
• Wesbert Winery
• Sajiva Wellness
• Roche Wines
• The Black Antler
• Naramata Inn
• Hatching Post BBQ
• BjornBar Bakery
• TOCK
• Singletree Wines
• The Locavore

1x points locations:

• Kidsbooks in the Village
• Legends Haul
• Ruby Blues Winery
• Marichel Vineyard
• Deep roots winery
• Laughing stock winery
• Tyler Harlton Wines
• Lang Vineyards

Meanwhile Christian, who is also in BC, must have been doing some shopping for their home as they let us know about the following: (I assume they are all 1x)

• Crate and Barrel
• Muse & Merchant Home Collection
• CB2

The feature itself is getting quite large in terms of the numbers of merchants listed on it and I simply present it as an alphabetical list for each multiplier so you may have to peruse it carefully to see if a specific merchant you are looking for is on the list. Since it is getting so big I am reaching out to our community again as I would love to hear your feedback as to how the information on this page can be presented. If you have any ideas on how to make it better please let me know in the comments below!

Update - Targeted offer: Amex, CIBC & TD Aeroplan co-brand credit cards will earn 10 Aeroplan Miles per dollar spent on aircanada.com along with a 15% discount

 

Late last night I posted about the 10 Aeroplan Miles per dollar spent offer for TD's Aeroplan co-brand credit cards for purchases made on aircanada.com. Turns out the offer is not just for TD's cards but is also good for American Express' and CIBC's Aeroplan co-brand credit cards. The extra miles offer is good for any purchases made by September 30 for targetted cardholders of the three banks.

They have a separate landing page on their site for each issuer with complete details of the offer:

• American Express
• CIBC
• TD
  

Here's a recap of the post from last night modified to cover all the cards:

Here's a sweet offer for those of you who have an Aeroplan co-brand credit card and are lucky enough to be targetted for it! Keep an eye out for the email in your in-box to see if you are one of the lucky ones.  The offer which launches today (September 16th) offers select Aeroplan cardholders 10 Aeroplan Miles for every dollar spent at aircanada.com including Air Canada Vacations packages, car rentals, hotel bookings, and other third party partner products and services that can be purchased through aircanada.com. The extra miles offer is good for any purchases made by September 30 and is available to all Aeroplan co-brand credit card holders.

This is a huge bonus considering the normal earn rates for aircanada.com purchases range from as little a mile for $1.50 spent on the lower end versions of the cards to 1.5 miles per $1 spent higher end cards. That's an extra 9.33 miles per dollar spent for the lower cards and an extra 8.5 miles per dollar for the others. 

 

Think about how much you can earn here - way you are required to travel every week between Toronto and Vancouver for your job and are able to purchase business class. Those flights range from $2,500 to over $3,000 per round trip. Book just four weeks worth of flights for $10,000 to $12,000 by September 30 on one of these co-brand cards and you have just earned 100,000 to 120,000 Aeroplan Miles! That's a lot of freaking miles! Book even more flights and those miles will just keep pouring in!

On top of the extra miles there is a promo code that is part of this promotion that will knock 15% off the base fares for flights originating in Canada to all destinations where Air Canada flies. It can be applied to Air-Canada published Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class base fare flights with travel dates between September 16, 2020 and June 15, 2021 (inclusive) that are booked by September 30.  ­The promo code offer is valid on flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada ExpressTM carriers and is also valid on certain codeshare flights only (includes Lufthansa Group, Swiss International Airlines Group, Austrian Airlines Group, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings)

We'd love to hear from you if you have been targetted for the offer and how many of you are going to move your Air Canada bookings to the next two weeks? Also curious as to how many of you who booked flights yesterday will be cancelling them within that 24 hour grace period and re-booking? I'd also love to hear how many flights you are planning to book and how many miles you'll earn thanks to this offer! Let us know in the comments section below

 

Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for September - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses

 

Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of September 2020!  This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses that have very good acquisition (welcome/sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the just sign up bonus, but when some of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards. This month we see three first year free cards on the list!

Here are our top 5 small business credit card sign up offers for September:

 CIBC Aerogold® Visa* Card for Business (Apply here)

 Minimum value: $420
This card offers welcome bonus of 20,000 Aeroplan miles when the first purchase is made at any time. An additional bonus of 15,000 Aeroplan Miles is awarded when you make $3,000 in net purchases during the first 4 monthly statement periods. Those 35,000 miles are worth no less than $420 as the first year annual fee on this card is also waived. That is a minimum however as more than likely those miles should be worth $1,000 or more! In fact if you take the per mile value from our post from late July 2019 this welcome bonus would be worth well over $2,000

BMO Rewards Business Mastercard (Apply here)

Minimum value: $357

This card had its welcome bonus boosted last week to 50,000 points when you spend $5,000 on the card in the first three months. On top of that they are waiving the $120 annual fee in the first year which means you get the full value out of those 50,000 points which when redeemed via bmorewards.com for travel will net you just over $357. This is the highest welcome bonus value out of all small business cards in Canada.

Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card  (Apply here)

Minimum value: $350

This card awards 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points which are awarded after spending $1,500 on the card in three months. Those points are worth at least $500 in our minds which means after subtracting the annual fee you are coming out ahead by $350. In reality you can pull even more value out of the card (into four figures) as we outlined in our post A look at how The Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card provides huge value!  Don't forget you get an annual free night with the card as well on the card anniversary date! 

CIBC Aventura® Visa* Card for Business Plus (Apply here)

 Minimum value: $350
This card offers welcome bonus of 20,000 Aventura Points when the first purchase is made at any time. An additional bonus of 15,000 Aventura Points is awarded when you make $3,000 in net purchases during the first 4 monthly statement periods. Those 35,000 points are worth no less than $350 as the first year annual fee on this card is also waived. That is a minimum however as when you redeem the CIBC Aventura flight award chart you can get more value out of those points (up to $700) dependent on the price of the airline ticket you are redeeming for.

BMO^® AIR MILES^®† Business^® Mastercard^®* (Apply here)

Minimum value: $330
Like the other BMO Business card on this list, this card comes with a first year annual fee waiver which means the 3,000 AIR MILES welcome bonus comes at no extra cost. You'll receive 1,000 bonus miles on your first purchase and 2,000 more miles if you spend $5,000 on the card in the first three months of having the card. We value AIR MILES Reward Miles at no less than 11 cents each when you redeem for travel so that puts this welcome bonus value at a minimum of $330.

If you went for all these cards you ultimately could end up with over $1,700 in travel credits but even if you only take on one or two you are helping your travel budget significantly at no cost other than regular credit card spend. We don't really recommend getting all five in one month unless you know you can meet the minimum spend for them all at once, rather you'd want to pick one or two right now, perhaps another next month and so on.

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.

Targetted offer: Earn an amazing 10 Aeroplan Miles per dollar and save 15% when you use a TD Aeroplan credit card to book Air Canada flights

 

Here's a sweet offer for those of you who have an Aeroplan co-brand credit card issued by TD and are lucky enough to be targetted for it!

The extra miles offer is good for any purchases made by September 30 and is available to targetted holders of the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite card, TD Aeroplan Platinum Visa card, TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege card and TD Aeroplan Visa Business card.

This is a huge bonus considering the normal earn rates for aircanada.com purchases range from as little a mile for $1.50 spent on the Platinum version of the card to 1.5 miles per $1 spent for the remaining three cards. That's an extra 9.33 miles per dollar spent for the Platinum card and an extra 8.5 miles per dollar for the others. 

Think about how much you can earn here - way you are required to travel every week between Toronto and Vancouver for your job and are able to purchase business class.

IHG Rewards Club Fall Promotion: Double Points on all stays from October 1 to December 15

 

Over the past week or so we’ve learned of at least three hotel chain’s fall promotions and add in those that were already launched like Hilton’s and Marriott’s and there weren’t many of the majors left to reveal promotions for the fall except for IHG. Today that changed as details emerged of their next promotion that will offer double points on all stays from October 1 to December 15. Be sure to register for the offer right away even if you don’t have any stays planned. You don’t want to forget about it and then all of a sudden have a stay and miss out on those extra points.

Offer details:
Earn Double IHG Rewards Club points on every eligible stay you make at participating IHG Hotels Worldwide. Full details, online registration & booking. (Registration is required) Register and book now for stays Oct 1 – Dec 15, 20

Here’s the page you should see upon successful registration for this offer:

Choice Hotels: Earn up to 8,000 bonus Privileges points when you complete 2 stays in Canada and Worldwide from September 21 to November 15

 

Choice Hotels fall promotion is here and you guessed it! It is the same offer we always see from them! They word the promotions differently in terms of get a free night or get a $50 gift card. In the end the promos are the same, they will award you enough bonus points after you complete 2 separate stays to have 8,000 points after those stays. In this case it is $50 Gift Card offer. What this means is that you can redeem for a $50 Gift Card for only 8,000 points until December 15 instead of the regular 16,000 points required for that same gift card. That being said, 8,000 points can get you a free night at select Choice Hotels which for the most part is a better redemption option however maybe you’ll never get to a location where 8,000 points will work for you so it could make sense to just use those points for a gift card.

Offer details:
Earn up to 8,000 Bonus Privileges Points after every two separate qualifying stays at participating Choice Hotels in Canada and Worldwide. Full details, online registration & booking (Registration is required) Sep 21 – Nov 15, 20

Excellent Deal: 50x points when you book Sandman Hotels via More Rewards Travel

Western Canada's More Rewards is offering a pretty sweet deal for booking Sandman Hotel stays via their in-house travel agency aptly named More Rewards Travel. The offer provides 50x More Rewards points for bookings made by September 30 and completed by December 31. Bookings made via More Rewards Travel earn 1 point per $1 spent in their loyalty program which means you'd end up earning 50 More Rewards Points per dollar spent with this promotion.

Let's see how this is an excellent deal! We took a look at the Sandman Signature Edmonton South Hotel for a one night stay on October 16:

 

More Rewards Travel is showing $106 per night + taxes/fees for a total of $119.49. Here is the same hotel on Sandman's website:

Same price as More Rewards Travel and a check of Expedia, Trivago and so on all show the same. In the past More Rewards Travel has been known to sometimes charge more for hotel rooms compared to other booking sites but as we can see this is not the case here and that's why this is a good deal with the 50x points. This particular stay would earn 5,322 More Rewards Points ($106.44 x 50) and with More Points being worth 0.423 cents each (when you redeem them towards travel) you are earning $22.51 in rewards. Then on top of this you'd earn the points on whichever credit card you use to make the booking (I'd recommend the American Express Gold Rewards or Platinum Card with their 2x points earning on travel) Unfortunately (not sure if it really is...) you can't earn Sandman Hotel's Lucky13 rewards stamps on stays booked via More Rewards Travel.
