Last day to apply for the BMO World Elite MasterCard with 30,000 Bonus Points and First Year Free

Unless there is a last minute change, today is the last to apply for the BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard with the first year free. The card which is ranked as the #1 Travel Points Credit Card with an annual fee by Rewards Canada normally comes with a $150 annual fee. This fee will kick in on new applications as of June 1st so if you apply today you should still be able to try out this card without the $150 annual fee in the first year. Plus you'll get the 30,000 points worth $300 in travel and four lounge passes that come with this card every year.  You can apply for the card here.

Earning Stories: 7,200 Club Carlson Points on a 4 day National Car Rental

Welcome to the next post in the Earning Stories series right here on Rewards Canada. For years we have provided you with the details on earning points and miles (both regular earning and bonus opportunities) and these stories show the actual offers in action.

This story revolves around my recent family trip and looks at the earning story for our car rental by crediting the rental to Carlson Rezidor Hotels Club Carlson program.

The car rental was made through National as they had the best pricing on the vehicle type we wanted and included unlimited mileage.  I booked the offer using the National Car Rental promotion for Club Carlson members of 1,500 Bonus Points per day that I took off of our Club Carlson Bonus Points page:

Both Avis and Budget have amazing bonuses for Club Carlson members but they were more expensive and included kilometer restrictions so it made choosing National even easier. Not to mention I am still pestering Budget and Club Carlson for my 8,250 Bonus Points for an early April rental!  Budget says they submitted it and Club Carlson hasn't responded to my email yet. So next week I'll chase those points again.

At the outset of the rental we ended up earning the 1,200 base Club Carlson Points (300 per day) plus the 6,000 bonus points from the offer (1,500 per day) All told 7,200 points posted from the rental which is not too far off from a 9,000 point award night redemption! They also posted within a week of the completion of the rental! I think Budget could learn from this.

Here are screen shot of the points that posted:

There you go. Bonus Points offers in action!

Overall I think this was yet another great earning action for the rental and for what we paid. We like to rent SUVs but I could see people getting an even better return on a promotion like this by renting a smaller vehicle that does not cost as much! 


Tips for Car Rentals
- Watch the rates that include bonus miles - For us it is about 50/50 in terms of earning bonuses on rentals, many times rates are out there that are quite a bit cheaper and provide more value versus paying more and earning more miles. For a complete list of car rental bonus offers see this page on the main Rewards Canada site.
- Read the fine print - When a bonus offer is available be sure that your rental meets the criteria. Those are primarily minimum number of rental days and vehicle type. There are many promotions that don't get awarded on the smallest/cheapest vehicles.
- Join the Car Rental company's program - Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, National Emerald Club and others all provide great benefits such as dedicated check in counters, bypass check in counters and more.

Hilton HHonors Double Points or Miles extended to August 31 with all hotels participating!

Hilton HHonors has decided to extend their current Double Points or Double Miles offer that was supposed to end on May 31st to August 31st! This is great news for Hilton HHonors members and what is even better news is that the original promotion had a large list of hotels not participating who are now included! In fact all 4,200+ Hilton Hotels are part of the promotion between June 1st and August 31st!  The question now is, is Hilton having issues with their systems that would allow them to do targeted offers? Hilton announced early in the year that they would only run two systemwide bonuses this year and then have targeted offers for members but with this offer simply being extended we would be led to believe they still have some work to do to get to those targeted offers.

May 28 Update: Air China to launch Montreal-Beijing service, Rocketmiles 5k Miles booking bonus, 100% bonus on buying Hilton HHonors Points

A much later in the day update for you!

News, Tips & Tricks
Air China opened up reservations for their newest Canadian route, Montreal-Beijing! The flight will operate 3 times weekly and being a Star Alliance member provides yet another great option for Aeroplan members in Eastern Canada to get to China as Air China is one of the airlines that you can avoid high carrier surcharges on (See our feature on Avoiding Fuel Surcharges) A the time of writing this however we couldn't find these Air China flights on Aeroplan's booking engine so you may have to call in to Aeroplan to see if they can get seats. Chances are online availability should start showing up within a few days. (Source Airlineroute.net) Be sure to also check out our Air China Phoenix Miles bonus miles page for earning offers if you choose the Phoenix Miles program over Aeroplan.

Rocketmiles has a short term first time booking bonus of a minimum 5,000 miles awarded in the Rocketmiles program of your choice. Stays must be booked by May 30th. Find out more here.

Doctor of Credit reports that TD Bank has taken over the Nordstrom credit card portfolio in the U.S.. Could this mean there will be a Nordstrom Rewards Credit Card in Canada soon seeing that Nordstrom now has two Canadian locations and more opening up soon? We'll just have to wait and see! Nordstrom runs two programs in the U.S. currently, Nordstrom Rewards which is their credit card based program and Debut Rewards which is a straight up loyalty program that is only available in Texas right now. So if TD decides to launch a credit card here I'm going to wager a guess it will be for Nordstrum Rewards not Nordstrum Debut Rewards.

In the bonus offers section check out the 100% bonus on buying Hilton HHonors points. Normally it costs US$10 for every 1,000 points but with the bonus it brings it down to US$5 per 1,000 or 5 cents per point. This is an offer where it can be totally worth it to buy the points for hotel stays as you can you pull out value of 8 cents or more on certain redemptions (check out Loyatly Travelers evaluation here!).

Hotel Review: Canalta Hotel, Humboldt SK

The Canalta Hotel Humboldt

Points required for a free night : 45,000 Canalta Rewards Points for standard room

A little over a week ago our travels took us to Central Saskatchewan. Family of four on WestJet flights to Saskatoon then a two hour drive east. We decided to wing it and stay at a small motel in a small town of about 1,500 people. We barely survived one night at said Inn. You know those motels you see in horror flicks? Well they do exist and this was one of them. We seriously considered staying in the car that night after the hotel owner just walked into the room without knocking, a spider bite, water that smelled like a slough and about 3 hours of choppy sleep. We got out early in the morning and decided that the rest of out stay would be an hour away in Humboldt. That leads us to this review. I'm pretty bad at remembering to take photos of these places so the photos included below are from the hotel website.

We picked the Canalta Hotel Humboldt as we had stayed at the Canalta Stettler a few years back and recalled it was an decent hotel.  I called that morning and booked the CAA rate, signed up for Canalta Rewards (500 free points when you complete your profile) and we really looked forward to staying there for the next two nights. We arrived late in the evening and found the parking lot to be quite empty. This could mean one of two things, the hotel isn't that busy on long weekends or its not a good hotel. Luckily for us it was the former and the hotel just wasn't that busy. In fact we were very impressed with the hotel. We had a standard 2 queen bed room that looked pretty much like this one from the hotel website:

The bathroom had your standard hotel fixtures, nothing fancy at all but appropriate for this type of hotel.

What impressed us the most was how clean the room and the hotel was. Despite being 5 years old the room looked brand new. The shower and bathroom were spotless. It was like we were the first ones staying in the room. The same goes for the carpets, beds and other room furniture. They didn't show signs of aging. The reason I say this is that our last family trip in April had us in San Diego where we stayed at what used to be our favorite location in that area, the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay and the room there really disappointed us. The furniture, the bathroom, the carpet all showed so much wear and tear it we couldn't believe that we loved that hotel 5 years prior. The Hyatt does trump the Canalta Hotel in terms of the resort amenities however if we were just comparing rooms, I would pick the Canalta Humboldt over the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay any day, doesn't matter how fancy the fixtures are. The Canalta's beds were also very comfy, they offered choices of firm or soft pillows and the room also had a small fridge and microwave.

The Continental Breakfast that was included with the stay was more than continental as there were hot options like bacon, eggs, and hashbrowns along with a make your own waffle station. Finally, for the kids enjoyment there is also a pool with waterslide and hot tub. This area like the rest of the hotel was pristine. I don't know, but whoever cleans and maintains this hotel sure does it well!

We'll definitely be making this our home base for future stays in Central Saskatchewan!

Now Live: IHG Rewards Club PointBreaks - 5,000 Points for Award Nights at 150 Hotels until Jul 31, 15

Same list we gave you last Friday except now these are bookable for stays May 26 - Jul 31, 15 (subject to availability). For those of you stuck traveling within the confines of our beautiful country you'll find five Canadian locations participating. This is up from 2 in each of the past 2 PointBreaks offerings.

Each Reward Night at these participating hotels will be only 5,000 IHG Rewards Club points during the above mentioned dates. Remember the new PointBreaks rules that a member can only book up to 2 reward reservations per hotel participating in the individual offer (ie 2 at Pointbreaks hotels and 2 at Last Minute Reward Night hotels).  My tip to get around this would be to book 2 reservations with one IHG Rewards Club account and then have your spouse book 2 more etc. Of course this is dependent on both accounts having enough points to redeem for these awards. Also be sure to book these ASAP as once the allotted nights are booked at certain locations those hotels will fall off the list.

Why are IHG Rewards Club Point Breaks such a great deal? Because they offer reward nights at participating IHG hotels Worldwide for only 5,000 Rewards Club points. For those of you not to familiar with IHG Rewards Club , normal redemption rates for Rewards Club reward nights run from as low as 10,000 points for some Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express locations to 50,000 points for ultra-luxurious InterContinental locations and even these locations can participate in PointBreaks. So as you can see you can receive a discount of 50 to 88% off the regular redemption rates. You may be thinking that the high end hotels won't participate but they do depending on the time of year! Please note that like most loyalty promotions these offers are capacity controlled so I advise to book sooner than later to ensure you get the PointBreaks rate. These offers will be bookable via the primary PointsBreaks  page later today but right now you can book via the individual links below. (list pulled from the IHG blog)

Earn up to 120,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles on Air Canada flights between Canada and the U.K.

Air Canada has taken note of the current oneworld Transatlantic bonus offers from AA, BA, and Finnair and have released their own bonus. They decided not to match the oneworld Airlines offer of the U.K. and Europe rather only focus on the U.K. but have also upped the ante on Business Class fares by offering up to 120,000 bonus miles compared to oneworld airlines 115,000 miles while the premium and full fare economy offer is matched with a maximum of 30,000 bonus miles although Air Canada's is for flex fare and higher which at times is not full fare economy like the oneworld offers require. Finally the AC offer also runs a full month longer than the oneworld offer (although registration and booking must be completed by the same date of August 7).

May 25 Update: RBC British Airways Visa Infinite sign up bonus doubled, CAA Rewards MasterCard added to charts, Air France Business Class sale out of YVR

A relatively busy Monday with new bonuses, news, travel deals and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
RBC has upped the bonus on their RBC British Airways Visa Infinite card to 30,000 Avios from the standard 15,000. This is an OK bonus for the card considering the great value in their short haul rewards out of Canada (See here for details on those) which equates to roughly 3 round trips for the $150 annual fee but it is not as good as the bonus we saw in the Fall of 2013 of 45,000 Avios. Find out more here.

A few weeks ago we let you know about the Stash Hotel Rewards free points offer for recommending hotels to the program. Those 200 free points are now posting. Check your email or account for details.

The CAA Rewards MasterCard has been added to our credit comparison charts! You'll find this no-fee travel points card which placed 5th in the no annual fee category in our 2015 rankings on the following charts:
