Air Canada Cyber Monday Sale: Up to an extra 25% off flights


 

Air Canada's Cyber Monday deal came out in the wee hours of the morning and offered a 30% off promo code for those early risers who were able to catch it! There were only 1,000 of those 30% off bookings available and they are long gone but at the time of posting this the next highest discount of 25% was still available. For how long though we don't know as it is only good for 2,000 bookings.

Shoppers Drug Mart PC Optimum Biggest Bonus Redemption Event - up to an extra $150 in value for your points


 

For the Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend and actually a few days past that Shoppers Drug Mart is offering their biggest bonus redemption event of the year. PC Optimum members will receive up to an extra $150 in value for their points when they redeem them for online or in-store Shoppers Drug Mart purchases.

75% bonus when you buy Best Western Rewards points

 
For this Black Friday weekend Best Western is selling their points with a 75% bonus. The hotel chain is not famous for running bonuses on buying points (we’ve seen local versions before in Spain and other regions) and I can’t recall the last time they did it program wide like this. You can buy 1,750 points for US$10 all the way up to 35,000 points for $200. This means you are buying points for 0.57 cents each US$. That’s right around the average redemption value for the points so there is a possibility to pull value out them should you choose to buy some.

A few weeks back we brought you the details of the new Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection joining Marriott Bonvoy (read about that here). At that time it was announced that Marriott co-branded cards will earn accelerated points for the cruise purchases but details weren't revealed as to whether that was just for U.S. cards or if Canadian Cards were included. Also not revealed at the time was what the accelerated earn rate may be. We posed the question to Amex Canada and received the following good news response:

Save up to 15% with LOT Polish Airlines Black Friday sale from Canada (Looks to be a good deal for flights to Delhi)

 
We have been posting quite a few of Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers here on the Rewards Canada blog, on our 2021 Black Friday / Cyber Monday / Holiday deals page and many more over on our global site Frequent Flyer Bonuses. Most of the offers we just post what the deal is as there are not enough hours in the day to explore each one to see how good they really are. There was one I thought I would give a try as it is from an airline we don't give too much coverage here and that airline is LOT Polish Airlines. The airline is offering up to 15% off their flights out of Toronto.

Priority Pass Black Friday Offer: Up to 40% off annual memberships + 1 free visit

 
Priority Pass has come out with their annual Black Friday sale for their business class lounge access memberships. This year is very similar to past years however they seem to have released several different offers. One offer provides up to a 40% discount which is like past years but this year they add in one free lounge visit as well which is a savings of US32. All in all this is a pretty good deal if you don't already get access via your credit card. The other offer which is the one targeted to the U.K. provides up to a 50% discount but no free lounge visit.

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. If the Marriott Cyber Week sale wasn't happening right now this would be a really good offer!

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.
