Happy Canada Day!!We are halfway through the year, which means our annual mid-term report on our New Year’s wish list. Below is my 2019 wish list for the rewards world and a blurb on the progress so far this year. The final report will be on New Year’s Eve.Keep in mind that all wishes are generally a win/win/win scenario for everyone (rewards company, retailer and customer) involved in the transaction.
There are two transfer bonuses in Canada that are ending this month to look out for.35% AeroplanThe first one is Air Canada’s 35% Aeroplan transfer bonus when you convert Marriott Bonvoy points to Aeroplan miles with an added bonus. Below is the earning potential, depending on whether you take advantage of the additional 5,000 transfer bonus. This offer ends on June 26, 2019.
I recently wrote a post about the new MBNA Amazon.ca Visa card, but it seems to it has been temporarily withdrawn. This is the message that you will see on their website: “We’re sorry, but the application for this card…
It is finally here! Amazon is offering a Canadian co-branded card again. It is a long time coming since the discontinuation of the Chase co-branded Amazon card.HighlightsThe card is offered by MBNA and is being called the Amazon.ca Rewards MasterCard. Below are the highlights of the card:
Another month, another list. This month’s list is very similar to last months. The main difference is the addition of the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite Card, which was previously on the monthly list, but dropped off. Keep in mind that we also have an going Top Cash Back Credit Cards page which consists of permanent and temporary offers, while this post focuses on temporary offers only. I have broken down the temporary offers into two categories.
A few minor changes, primarily to TD’s portfolio. The majority of the other cards expire at the end of the month or in October. So if there is a product that you have been contemplating, watch out for the month end deadline. Featured CardThe TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card extended its 80,000 sign up bonus and first year fee waived offer, so they continue to be the featured card of the month.
It has been more than 2 years since I last updated this post, so I thought it was due for an update as there are quite a few changes. Canada and Mexico have continued to strength their relationship as they offer more direct flights between each country. Essentially by-passing the United States. This post focuses on Mexico’s larger airline Aeroméxico, which offers a frequent flyer program called Club Premier.This post focuses on Aeroméxico and Club Premier from a Canadian perspective.
All the major TD promotions will be expiring (June 2, 2019) before the next monthly list comes out. Personally, I doubt that they will extend the promotions, they may be offering something else. So if you have been thinking about one of their cards, I would go for it sooner rather than later. I personally signed up for the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card as I could use an Aeroplan restock.
RBC is once again offering a 30% transfer bonus when converting Avion points British Airways’ Executive Club. Between May 22, 2019 and June 30, 2019, you can earn 1.3 Avios for every RBC Rewards point converted. There is a 10,000 RBC Rewards points minimum requirement. But it is increments of 1 point thereafter. So 10,000 points will get you 13,000 Avios (instead of 10,000).
I was waiting to see what VIA Rail is going to offer this summer. Looks like the sale is out!Note that the discounts are offered between May 22 and June 2, 2019, but the travel period varies depending on the promotion.I would pay close attention to the $15 kids summer offer!
