This offer is great if there is any shopping you have to get done now. However if you can wait until Friday for the actual Black Friday promotion, word is it will be 20x miles from November 29 to December 1. The bonus for Cyber Monday is unknown at this time.

November 25 Update: Virgin Atlantic codesharing on WestJet flights, Loyalty and Award conference and up to 5x CIBC Rewards Points on select Transat flights
In some interesting route news - Virgin Atlantic is now code sharing on WestJet's flights between London and Calgary, Halifax, Toronto and Vancouver as well as on many connecting flights out of those cities. This is good news for WestJet as they lost their British Airways partnership whent they started flying to London (BA wasn't happy about that!) so it's nice to see them have a new codeshare partner. We have reached out to WestJet to see if this partnership will go beyond just codesharing and develop into a reciprocal frequent flyer partnership. Although if some other sources are correct you can earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles on these flights so long as they are booked on Virgin's site and carry the Virgin flight number.

Now, if 2018 is any indicator of what this year may be, you may want to hold off on Amazon purchases as last year in the middle of December the Aeroplan eStore did offer 10x miles (see our post from last year here) but there is no guarantee that it will happen this year. We can only hope it will!

35% Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert hotel loyalty program points is now live - Shangri-La is the star this time
Last week when we launched our contest to celebrate Aeroplan's Black Friday Cyber Monday offers, one of them we let you know about was the hotel transfer bonus.
Here are the hotel partners participating in the Black Friday version of the hotel transfer bonus:
As you can see the most popular hotel transfer partner, Marriott Bonvoy, is not included this time so this version of the transfer bonus is more about cleaning out accounts. If you have points in any of the above hotel programs that you know you will never use towards a free night award but are enough to be transferred to Aeroplan then this may be the time to do so. These transfer bonuses are a really good way to use up 'orphaned points'. This transfer bonus runs until December 3, 2019.
Learn more about Aeroplan's Black Friday Hotel Transfer bonus here!
You can find this offer and many more Black Friday Cyber Monday offers on our BFCM Deals page!
One program you may want to look at a little closer is Shangri-La's Golden Circle. If you have points in this program they are offering their own bonus incentive on converting points of 25%. That means Shangri-La will give you 25% bonus miles and then you'll get the 35% on top of that from Aeroplan. For example if you convert 5,000 Golden Circle Points to Aeroplan the transfer should look like this:
5,000 Golden Circle Points = 5,000 Aeroplan Miles but with Shangri-La's bonus that will become 6,250 Aeroplan Miles and then you'll get the 35% from Aeroplan for a final total of ~8,438 miles.

Amex Offers: 4 Bonus Points per dollar spent with Amazon for Black Friday Cyber Monday (5 points per dollar total)
Even more Amex Offers came out overnight and these are ones many of you have been waiting for! The offer is for the upcoming Black Friday Cyber Monday shopping weekend with Amazon and provides 4 bonus Membership Rewards points per dollar spent with Amazon.ca between November 29 - December 2, 2019. It appears to going out to most if not all American Express cardholders outside of Marriott Bonvoy since that card doesn't earn MR points! In our household we received it on the following cards:
The Platinum Card from American Express
American Express Gold Rewards Card
American Express Cobalt Card
You'll have to access the offers via the Amex app or online web services after logging. It does also appear that emails are being sent out to cardmembers with a registration link. Once registered make sure you have that card or cards in your Amazon account so that you earn the bonus points. Also make sure you don't go directly to Amazon for your purchase! Initiate it via an online shopping mall like Aeroplan's eStore, airmilessshops.ca, Great Canadian Rebates or Rakuten! That way you'll earn even more points, miles or cash back on those Amazon purchases.
Thanks to our contest that we are running with Aeroplan we know that purchases made via their eStore will earn up to 10x miles but we won't know 100% for sure until Monday. Make sure you enter our contest today!
We also recommend checking out our Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deals for 2019 page as these Amex offers and many other deals for the busiest shopping weekend are listed on it!

November 21 Update: New hotel openings in Canada, Amazon Mastercard added to comparison chart & more confirmed Amex multipliers
As you know, early in the year we have posts that highlight upcoming hotel openings for the year here in Canada. What we don't do so much is follow up when they actually open. Thanks to Canadian Lodging News we can let you know when some of these hotels actually open their doors. Here are some of the new hotels that have opened up for business over the past few weeks:
- Days Inn by Wyndham Wainwright
- Executive Residency by Best Western Calgary City View North
- Four Points by Sheraton Windsor Downtown
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Halifax-Dartmouth in Dartmouth
- Hotel Place Dupuis Montreal
A couple more additions to our American Express Confirmed Multiplier Locations - we've added Naturamarket.ca and Hello Fresh (thanks to Ciana for this one) to the 5x multiplier category. See the list here.
