An amazing new offer came out today for the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card! This offer does not require registration which means it is open to all existing and new cardholders. Yes even if you don't have the card and get it you can get this bonus but you'll want to do it sooner than later so as to maximize the amount of points you get. Big shout out to Rewards Canada contributor Jeff W. for alerting us to this offer!
Next up in our coverage of the new Air Canada Aeroplan program is our look at the small business co-brand credits for the program. We'll cover all the cards here in one post rather than an individual post for each card like we did for the consumer cards.
There
are two levels of business cards that are offered for the Aeroplan
program. American Express is the issuer of the higher end business card while TD and CIBC are offering what I would consider as mid-level cards as they don't provide as much as the American Express card but aren't entry level cards either.
Another weekend another Fairmont Hotels offer to pass along! They sure do have a lot of different offers out there but most don't seem the match the Stay Close offer (which ends on Monday!) This time we have an offer that is very similar to several others in that it is a discount for stays of 2 or more nights and includes a $50 credit. We've seen it for Air Canada Altitude members, CAA members and in for this offer it's for Visa cardholder.
A new feature or benefit of the new Air Canada Aeroplan program comes on the flight reward side. That benefit is preferred pricing for members who have elite status and/or have an Aeroplan co-brand credit card. In this post we look at the significance of having elite status and/or an Aeroplan credit card when it comes to redeeming for flight rewards on Air Canada.
It's been sometime since we've seen a boost to the welcome bonus offer for the number one ranked American Express Cobalt Card. Technically speaking on the points side of things the welcome bonus hasn't changed. It is still 2,500 bonus points per month when spend at least $500 each month for the first 12 months of the having the card. That's 30,000 points in total. But now if you apply for the card between now and January 13, 2021 they have added a boost for Amazon.ca purchases:
Right in time for the holiday shopping season we see the return of the Cobalt Perks offer for Amazon.ca purchases!
Travel to Hawaii - will it happen for Canadians any time soon? Long time Rewards Canada reader Peter K emailed us about traveling to Hawaii and the requirements to enter. Peter did some behind the scenes legwork and here is what the sent me:
We said the market would heat up in Canada when the new Air Canada Aeroplan program launches and for the most part that has now been the case for a few months. We've already seen the amazing offer for the HSBC World Elite Mastercard that came out in September, the statement credit boost on the MBNA Alaska Airlines Mastercard and of course now we've seen all the welcome bonuses on the new Aeroplan cards. So it's no wonder that we're seeing more boosted offers come out and the latest to be revealed today is this one for the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard.
