Earlier in the week we brought you the details of the new bonus for converting hotel points to Aeroplan.
The general bonus offer that is open to everyone is 25% however some
people, including myself have been targeted for 35% which matches the
highest bonus seen on conversions from last summer. Be sure to check
your email for one from Aeroplan with the subject line “This bonus is
just for you,” Now the targeting is behind the scene so no regsitration
is required so even if you miss the email and convert you might get a
nice surprise with that extra 10%.
There is also some talk as to whether
or not Marriott’s Travel Packages will count as Aeroplan’s Terms &
Conditions now state that they ‘might’ but on the Marriott page
is states ‘Bonus miles from Aeroplan (Air Canada) offers are not
applicable.’ Anyone care to try and let us know if it the bonus pays
out?
AIR MILES sent out a press release earlier this week entitled “AIR MILES unveils more Rewards and Perks for Collectors” We checked it out and here are the main points:
The AIR MILES Reward Program is reinforcing its commitment to
Canadians by offering new ways to get more from their daily spend on
gas, groceries, pharmacy and more. The Program is making a series of
enhancements that expands the number of Rewards requiring less than
1,000 Miles, places a renewed focus on AIR MILES Cash and offers a
greater number of advantages or “show your Card” benefits through AIR
MILES Perks, which provides discounts on items ranging from Canadian
Hockey League games to free tickets for “Cineplex Family Favourites”
movies.
- Cineplex Family Favourites – For a limited time,
AIR MILES is offering Collectors promo codes to use towards free
tickets to view “Cineplex Family Favourites” movies, a series of
family-friendly movies screened on Saturday mornings at 11 AM at
participating Cineplex theatres. Additional showings are also available
during March Break, making it a great and free activity for Collectors
and their families. To request promo codes, Collectors can visit www.airmiles.ca/movies. - AIR MILES Perks – Collectors get rewarded for
simply being a member in the Program, without having to use a single
Mile. These advantages or “show your Card” benefits include 25% off
regular season CHL game tickets at participating games, up to 45% off
Park’N Fly at the airport, up to 25% off on day lift tickets to various
ski hills in Canada and more. - Rewards for less than 1,000 Miles – AIR MILES
offers a wide variety of merchandise and experiences that can be
redeemed for less than 1,000 Miles. Rewards include household and
kitchen essentials, as well as experiences like admissions to the zoo,
movie passes or tickets to shows. - AIR MILES Cash – Collectors can instantly use
Miles in-store towards everyday purchases like gas, grocery, drug store
items and home improvement purchases at participating Partner
locations. Collectors can use as little as 95 Miles to get $10 off
their purchase.
The big takeaways are more rewards under 1,000 miles – this is a good
move as AIR MILES Reward Miles are generally not a currency that
accumulate in large numbers quickly. Providing more low ticket items
will let members get something from the programs. The Cineplex offer is a
pretty good deal as well as who doesn’t like free movies? Granted it’s
limited time and there are limited showings but hey if you can make it
then go for it.
