Loyalty Lesson: The first points & miles credit card you should get

 

We released a new feature today on the main Rewards Canada site for those of you who are new to the world of points, miles, cash back and loyalty rewards in general. This feature takes a look at the first credit card you should consider getting to get yourself started down this rabbit hole! The great thing about this card is it is perfect to get before you have even started to learn about and research loyalty programs. It covers the best of the best for earning, burning, value and more and thus it gives you a head start to collecting points while you begin to educate yourself and learn what reward or rewards will be best for you.

Earn Triple Aeroplan Points on Uber rides until May 20

 
Right now Aeroplan members who have linked their Aeroplan accounts to their Uber accounts can earn triple points on rides until May 20. I received the offer via an Aeroplan email over the weekend however I cannot find any offer details on the Aeroplan site which made me think at first it was a targeted offer however the terms and conditions in the email seem to imply this is open to all members. There is also no registration required so I would assume all members who do have their accounts linked will earn the triple points.

The cost of the miles are US$30 per 1,000 which means buying 50,000 miles will cost you US$1,500 but you’ll end up with 87,500 miles after the bonus. That ends up being 1.71 cents per mile which is a great deal considering Turkish Miles&Smiles has some real gems for reward flight options.
