Rewards Canada is back after a week of vacation where we
disconnected, literally. The cabin we rented on Lake Pend Oreille in
Idaho had no Internet access and no TV just sunshine, an amusement park, fun watersports and more! Other than a few hits of WiFi at
Starbucks in Sandpoint is was really nice to fully disconnect from work
and the world of loyalty. Now we are back and there is some news and
bonus offers that came out in the last week that we will catch you up on
today and throughout the week and of course bring you all the latest
news and offers that come out each and every day.
News, Tips & Tricks
American Express is going to give you some more time
on their latest offer of earning Aeroplan Distinction status on the
AeroplanPlus Gold Card. The offer has now been extended to September 2nd
(from August 31). You can apply for the card here
Air Canada sent out some emails last week for an
Aeroplan bonus on your next flight. The offers of up to 6,000 bonus
miles are targeted to select members but you can try to register to see
if it may work for you (no guarantees however!) See the bonus offers
section below for more details.
Hyatt is also running a targeted stay bonus with the
emails coming out last week. The bonuses are varying, I received the ‘up
to 6,000 bonus points’ offer but some Gold Passport members have
received offers where they can earn up to 50,000 points. Once again see
the bonus offers section below for details.
Shangri-La Golden Circle has introduced Instant
Dining Awards where you can use your GC Award points to pay for your
dining at a Shangri-La hotel.
“From now on, your GC Award Points can be
redeemed instantly with 10 GC Award Points covering every USD 1* of your
bill. There’s no minimum point use and point redemption is as quick as
paying the bill would have been. Just show us your GC membership card
and we’ll take care of the rest.”
If you took advantage of the up to 1,200 free points offer last fall that we
detailed right here on Rewards Canada and don’t think you’ll use those
points towards a stay this can be a good way to use them at their
properties in Toronto and Vancouver (no stay required)

If you still haven’t flown on Air Canada’s 787
Dreamliner you have another route option to fly on the newest plane in
Air Canada’s fleet. For a few months this fall the plane will fly
between Toronto and Copenhagen three times per week. (Source Airlineroute.net)
British Airways has introduced an option to hold onto a
fare for 72 hours for a $10 fee. With that fee BA will hold onto to the
tickets for you with the promise that if the fare rises you won’t have
to pay the higher price and if the fare drops you’ll get the lower fare
plus you won’t lose those seats. If you end up buying the ticket the
hold fee is refunded and of course if you don’t end up buying you lose
the fee. This option is only available for flights being booked at least
21 days in advance. Find our more here.
