Here is your monthly update of all the global hotel bonus points promotions that are available. One of the easiest ways to rack up lots of hotel points is to take advantage of these systemwide bonuses that come from many of the big chain programs and also from the lesser known programs. Unless you are staying at a boutique hotel or perhaps an independent hotel most other hotels out there have a bonus. So take advantage of it! Most of these systemwide bonuses simply require you to register beforehand and they do not affect hotel pricing as long as you book a point eligible rate which are most rates out there. Of course booking through a third party site like Expedia or Rocketmiles does not count as most chains only award points on bookings that are made directly with them. Here are all the current promotions that are available to everyone this month:
In this episode we discuss the new MyMcDonald's Rewards program that launches on November 16, 2021! We look at how the program changes from the old McDonald's Rewards from earn rates to redemption rates and the value in the new program.
The new Air Canada Aeroplan LCBO partnership is now live! As announced earlier this year Ontario's liquor retailer left the AIR MILES program to join up with Air Canada's Aeroplan program.

In the near future you will also be able to redeem Aeroplan points for LCBO gift cards.
Abu Dhabi based Etihad Airways has a another new transfer bonus offer for their Guest program. This time they are offering bonus elite status tier miles when you convert bank rewards points to Guest miles. Here in Canada we have one option for conversions to Etihad and it does qualify for this offer. That option is converting American Express Membership Rewards points.
Alaska Airlines has launched a new buy miles offer that runs until December 23rd. This time the bonus once again ranges from 40% to 50% depending on how many miles you buy. Ideally you want to buy so you get that 50% bonus which means you’d have to buy 30,000 or more miles. We see the 50% bonus quite frequently now from Alaska but have even seen 60% come by on occasion over the past year.
