New RBC Offers include statement credits and discounts for Landmark Cinemas, Wayfair & Etnies

The latest batch of new RBC Offers sees 13 new and extended statement credit or discount promotions for using your RBC card at select retailers! In total there are nearly 40 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.

REMINDER The credit card to consider getting right now - August 2022

We continue our monthly feature where we recommend a card to consider applying for right away during the course of the current month.  How do we pick which card should be highlighted? We'll look at numerous factors however in most cases it will primarily be due to the limited time offer on the highlighted card ending this month or shortly thereafter.  In some cases, it may be different factors or a combination of factors. This month it's the former however, where it is simply an offer that is set to end shortly after the end of this month.

We review the American Express Gold Rewards Card and Neo drops their cashback guarantee to 0.5% for new applicants

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

We updated our review of the American Express® Gold Rewards Card today. This card which we first reviewed in 2010 is one of the best travel cards in Canada, in fact it was the best from 2011 to 2017 until the Cobalt Card came out. Over the years we had some piece meal updates to that review so we thought it's time to do a complete refresh for 2022 especially seeing that it was revamped in 2021. See what we think of the card now! Click here to read the entire review (link has been corrected)

A nice big update to the confirmed Cobalt Multipliers list, Canada Jetlines receives the go ahead to launch flights & one new Amex Offer

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

A nice big update to our American Express Cobalt™ Card Confirmed Multiplier Locations feature! Lots of new 5x points locations in Canada and the U.S. plus several 2x and 1x points offer. Cool to see places like the Royal Tyrell Museum Cafe in Drumheller and Old School Bus Ice Cream coding as 5x points! Check out all the locations here.

Buy World of Hyatt points with a 30% discount (1.68 cents US per point!)

Hyatt is out with another buy points offer and this time it is a discount instead of a bonus. When you buy 5,000 or more points in one transaction they will give a 30% discount on the price. This is different than the typical 30 to 40% bonus that we usually see with Hyatt. With the discount the price works out to 1.68 cents (US) per points which is lower than the 1.714 cents per point (US$) seen when they run their highest 40% bonus. When redeemed it can be pretty easy to receive a value of 2 cents per point or higher so you can see it could be worthwhile to purchase them for rewards around the globe or even if you just need a few thousand points to top off for an award.

We review the CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card, earn bonus points with Air Canada Student Flight Passes & a 250 points rebate when you redeem at Cineplex

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

 

The CIBC Dividend® Visa Infinite* Card is the next card to receive the Rewards Canada review treatment. Thanks to a revamp several years ago the card came back to the forefront of the cash back market and in fact here at Rewards Canada we ranked it as the number one cash back card for a short while after those changes. At this time we still rank it as the best "true" cash back credit card in the market as this card takes second place only to the American Express Cobalt Card - which isn't a "true" cash back card but does provide the best cash back redemption value in the Canadian market.
