Aeroplan is offering a daily 10x the miles bonus with specific retailers each day, starting today, June 29, 2020 until July 5, 2020. Below is a screenshot of what Aeroplan is offering throughout the week.
Depending on which day, different retailers are offering the 10x bonus offer. So if you have something you want to purchase soon, I would definitely recommend to wait till that day to take advantage of this bonus as the miles can really add up.
There were a few minor changes (mostly tweaks to the TD offers) from last month, along with a notable promotional extension. The Brim World Elite MasterCard extended its first year fee waiver off $199 annual fee another month (was also extended last month) to June 30, 2020. So same thing I said last month, if you missed your chance last month, this is your opportunity. There is no way to guarantee that the promotion will be extended again, but it could.
Today we feature a guest writer, John Adams, a lifestyle blogger (Healthnic), who loves sharing his personal opinions and experiences. He enjoys travelling for the love for nature and wildlife. He is also very adventurous when it comes to food; he is always eager to try exotic dishes in strange places, and then recreate them (with a twist) at home. He comes to us with an American perspective of Canada. Thank you for taking the time to be a guest writing John!
You are lucky to live in Canada, as you can avail so many freebies on your big day. Who wouldn’t cherish some free food from his/her favorite restaurant or café as a birthday gift? Most eateries around Canada have loyalty programs that award points on every purchase; these points can be used to redeem a free meal or discount later on. Loyalty members take advantage of several other benefits as well, such as complimentary treats on special days. While most places reserve birthday freebies for regular customers and subscribers, some may present you with a gift by checking the birth date on your ID card.
Effective today, June 17, 2020 to July 1, 2020, trips booked from July 1, 2020 to October 15, 2020, qualify for a 50% miles back promotion for Air Canada flights within Canada or to the United States.
Our friend over at Prince of Travel did a great job breaking down the offer:

The Canada and US border crossing ban (for non-essential travel) began March 21, 2020 was set to expire on June 21, 2020. It has now been extended to July 21, 2020.
This has been a topic that has gone on for a while, but I have yet to chime in on this. I thought this was as good a time as any, since it has been dragging out.

I recently provided an aggressive cash back churning strategy. Today’s post is almost a continuation of that post. Basically, if you want to have a strong cash back strategy, you will want to continually keep track of new and ongoing offers that you can take advantage of.
Note that this post focuses on temporary offers. Our Top Cash Back Credit Cards page continues to list current offers that are not exclusive to limited time offers like this post.
Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, airline and hotel loyalty programs have paused/extended expiry policies to their miles and points. Today’s post is a current snapshot of the state of these programs.
