May 9 Update: Reminder that American Express Cobalt Card multipliers are global, new Marriott bonuses for Montreal & London, 3x Aeroplan Miles for Coast Hotel stays

We wanted to remind all of our readers about the American Express Cobalt Card
multipliers being available globally. First some background, anyone
visiting Amex’s website or even on many blogs discussing the card you’ll
see the terminology being used as “purchases in Canada” for the 5x Eats
& Drinks and 2x Transit/Travel/Gas multipliers. Seeing that you may think those multipliers are for Canada only. And now
with the Scotiabank American Express Gold Rewards card changing their
multiplier rules to “Canadian Currency’ only, you may think both cards
are the same. However, they are not. As you may recall, when the Cobalt
card launched in 2017 we reported the multipliers were available
globally as long as the merchants coded properly into those categories and
that is still the case.
Unfortunately it is not the case for the Scotiabank Gold American
Express card as our interview last week with them confirmed Canada only
for their multipliers. Here is our post discussing the global availability of the Cobalt card’s multipliers and of course the feature that the Rewards Canada community has greatly contributed to, the American Express Cobalt Card Confirmed Multiplier Locations

There are two more Marriott Bonvoy bonuses for stays in Canada to let
you know about! The first sees 3,000 bonus points for Sunday night
stays at the SpringHill Suites Old Montreal and the other is for 1,000
bonus points per night (for up to 3 nights) at the Four Points by
Sheraton Hotel & Suites London. See the bonus offers section below

Also there is one other Aeroplan hotel stay bonus now available. Members can earn Triple Miles for stays at Coast Hotels in Canada and the U.S.. until June 30. See the bonus offer section for details!
