Aeroplan has brought back their 7x points offer for shopping online with Apple! This works for eligible online purchases made via the Aeroplan eStore for delivery to your home or office or even those you choose to pick up in store. This is how I typically do my Apple purchases, buy online and pick up within 2-3 hours at the Apple store all the while earning tons of Aeroplan points (plus the points or miles earned on the credit card!)
Some big news out of the Rewards Canada family today - our oldest daughter who is 19 just launched her own clothing and art line called Third Circle! It went live at 12pm PT on March 28 at thirdcircleshop.com and features some truly amazing clothing and art that she designed herself. The launch culminates months of hard work she has put in to creating the designs and getting her business off the ground. The initial release is just the beginning of what she has designed with more products to be released over the coming months.
March 29 Update: The switch to dynamic pricing will take place late on March 29 so you still have a small window here to make any bookings!

Today we released an update to our review of the MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard. The card was first reviewed on Rewards Canada in 2013 and I have to apologize to our readers as I don't think did an full fledged update on it since then so some of it was out of date. Now that's all fixed and the review is fresh for 2022 and I promise to keep an eye on it and update more frequently as required. The card itself isn't well known to most Canadians but is somewhat of a hidden gem and a favourite in the points and miles community. Read our review here to find out why!
Big news in the world of credit card lounge access! I was visiting the Mastercard Canada website today and noticed a change to the lounge access section for the World and World Elite Mastercards. No longer does the website state Mastercard Airport Experiences by LoungeKey, instead it now has Mastercard Travel Pass provided by DragonPass.
The RBC Offers program has several new promotions and extended
one other over the past month. In total there are 25 offers in place
with this program.
Be sure to login to your RBC account right away to load these offers (if required) or get the promo codes if required. Personally I received these offers on the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard butmost if not all should also available for RBC's most popular card the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card and most other RBC cards.
More Rewards has brought back their Free Groceries Event where you can redeem your More Rewards points for you in store grocery shopping at greater value than the regular redemption rates. In fact if you have enough points to redeem at the highest level, 48,000 points for $200 off your grocery bill you'll be redeeming points at nearly the same value as travel redemptions via the program. Outside of a couple of hockey ticket redemption options in the program redeeming for travel is the best redemption option in the program in terms of value so when they run this grocery redemption option several times per year it is definitely worth checking out. This offer is available in-store only until March 30, 2022.

Air Canada Aeroplan has once again extended their flexible change policy for Aeroplan flight rewards. The extension now sees Aeroplan waiving change fees on reward tickets until April 30, 2022 and the amount of changes you can make are unlimited. For bookings made by April 30 but changed on or after May 1, 2022 you will have the first change fee waived but any others after that will incur a fee. Applicable change fees will apply to any new bookings that are made on our after May 1. The program does seem to be adjusting these frequently so it is entirely possible they will be extended again in the near future.
The buy points bonus for Marriott Bonvoy was set to end yesterday but has been extended to April 3. The promotion provides up to a 50% bonus and is awarded on purchases from 2,000 to 100,000 points and that 100,000 is a doubling of the typical 50,000 point annual limit for buying points.
A big bonus coming out of Marriott for stays at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel in Toronto International Airport! This bonus celebrates the recent refresh and renovation of the Club Lounge at the hotel and offers 10,000 bonus Bonvoy points per night and Club Lounge access (I'm how else could they celebrate it?) for stays between April 3 and May 19. If you stay by May 4th you can stack this offer with the global Marriott promotion to earn 1,000 Bonus Bonvoy Points + Double Elite Night Credit for each night you stay. If you are needing an overnight hotel at YYZ you may want to consider this offer but read on to see if it is worth it.
