July 9 Update: 500 bonus points for stays at the Hyatt Place Kelowna, Last day for the BMO Rewards Mastercard 20,000 point bonus & Wyndham Rewards lowers elite qualification requirements

Yesterday we wrote about the new Hyatt Place Kelowna that
will open next week. What I forgot to mention in that post is that the
hotel falls under Hyatt’s new hotel bonus offer where you can earn 500
bonus World of Hyatt points per night. The bonus runs
until October 30 and there is no need for registration. Simply book and
stay on a eligible rate for points earning and the bonus points are
yours. On the website it states the offer is available from July 6 but
we know the hotel isn’t opening until July 14 so that will be the start
date for this offer. Find out more here.

Today is the last day to grab the 20,000 point welcome offer on the no fee BMO Rewards Mastercard. Tomorrow morning the welcome offer will be lower. Apply for the card here.

Wyndham Rewards has lowered the qualification
requirements for attaining elite status in the program. Now you can
receive Gold when you stay three qualifying nights, Platinum when you
stay nine qualifying nights and Diamond with 24 qualifying nights in
2020. Find out more here.
