Earn 7x points when shopping with Apple via the Aeroplan eStore until April 2


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!)

Introducing Third Circle - a new Canadian clothing and art line!

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.

LAST DAY TO BOOK WITH AWARD CHARTS! Marriott Bonvoy's dynamic pricing will go live on March 29

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!

Back in October Marriott announced they were moving their Bonvoy program to dynamic award pricing from the long standing award chart model and that those changes would take place in March. It was revealed in February the dynamic pricing will take effect over the course of two days on March 29 and 30 which makes today the last day to book with set award chart pricing.

March 28 Update: MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard Review (Updated for 2022), new Flight Reviews page & last few days for the amazing KLM sale!

Here's your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

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and I have to apologize to our readers as I don't think did an full fledged update on it since then so some of it was out of date.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! Mastercard Canada switching lounge access from LoungeKey to DragonPass (which means access to Plaza Premium lounges!)

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.

Here are the latest RBC Offers including statement credits for Linen Chest and bonus points with Rexall


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 Free Groceries Event - Redeem points at a higher value for groceries at Save-On Foods, Urban Fare or PriceSmart Foods


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.

March 25 Update: Aeroplan extends flight reward change policy, MyLenovo Rewards launches in Canada & an Amex Offer for ECCO Shoes

Here's your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.


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.
