November 25 Update: 5,000 bonus points for stays at Delta Mont Sainte-Anne, awesome Preferred Hotels Cyber Monday offer & half price SCENE movie tickets

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.

There is a bonus offer available for stays at the Delta Hotels, Mont Sainte-Anne, Resort & Convention Center. This bonus awards 5,000 Bonus Bonvoy Points for stays of 2 or more nights until Feb 2, 22 when you book by Nov 30.

However if you may be heading here between January 17 and February 2 check out the bonus points offer as it prices out the same as the best flexible rate.
