We have updated some features on the Rewards Canada site to reflect the latest limited time offer of double points and double redemption value for the Platinum Card from American Express. The following have been updated:
- Guide to Credit Card Cash Back Liquidity
- The top credit cards for everyday non-category bonus spending
- Best Credit Cards in Canada
The Platinum Card is by far he number one card to have in Canada right now and we have confirmed with
Amex that the double points double redemption is not only for existing cardmembers but also for new
cardholders.
PC Optimum is offering their bonus redemption event
for the next six days. This is where you can get more value out of your
points when you redeem them at for shopping in store or online with
Shoppers Drug Mart. You can get $65 off when you redeem 50,000 points
(Reg. $50), $140 off for 100,000 points (Reg. $100) or $300 off for
200,000 points (Reg $200). This offer runs until April 29! Find out more here.
