Nov 14 Update: American Express & Aeroplan extend their agreement, Up to Triple Avios for Hyatt stays, Qantas Status Credits on award flights

Not too much to pass along today as I was speaking at the Mega Event
here in Vancouver today on the Canadian Co-brand credit market.

News, Tips & Tricks

On the topic of Co-Brands, Aimia, Aeroplan and American Express today
announced a new multi-year agreement for American Express to continue to
offer Aeroplan card products. The biggest take away from the press
release is the following

“The new agreements extend the long relationship between the
three companies and will include enhancements to the existing suite of
premium AeroplanPlus co-branded charge cards with a unique new premium
travel credit card launching next year”

It looks like American Express is taking a proactive approach to the
upcoming new TD Aeroplan cards as they are planning to launch a new
premium card next year! There are lots of different rumours floating
around here as to what TD is going to offer such as taking care of your
Nexus application and others so no doubt American Express will want to
make sure they don’t lose customers to TD and as such they will be
coming out with this new card.
