July 3 Update: American Express to end churning ability of their cards, Triple Avios for Hyatt stays, Voila Hotel Rewards 3x Points + 2x Elite Credit on all stays

We end the week off with some bad news for some of our readers.

News, Tips & Tricks

News started trickling out yesterday that American Express
Canada is following in the footsteps of their U.S. counterparts in that
they will be limiting sign up bonuses on their cards to only once per
lifetime per card. In other words no more churning American Express
cards. We reached out to American Express and they have confirmed that
as of this month they “are beginning to enforce gaming controls”
I know for some of our readers this is going to put a big dent in the
ability to travel cheaply as they were swapping out cards every 6 to 8
months to earn the sign up bonuses over and over again.  Currently the terms and conditions have only been updated on cards that earn Membership Rewards points (Gold Rewards, Platinum etc.) Aeroplan and AIR MILES. At this time the SPG card has not had these terms changed.

We’d love to
hear your thoughts on this change! I know a lot of readers do not churn but I’m guessing there will be a small
percentage of you who who will be very upset with it!
