RBC Rewards has a limited time offer providing 25% more value when
you pay down your RBC Rewards credit card balance using Pay Credit Card
with Points. The standard redemption rate is 4,300 points for $25
meaning that until May 19 you will get $31.25 per 4,300 points. With
this bonus you are receiving 0.7 cents per point. I would only use this
option if you need help with your finances right now – if you are
financially stable save the points for future travel. Find out more here.

American Airlines has become one of the first
airlines to provide an incentive for future travel. They are offering
500 bonus AAdvantage Miles per flight on American Airlines between July 1
and December 31. The catch is that you have to register and book those
flights by May 18. Good news is they are allowing free changes on those
flights. The bonus maxes out at 5,000 miles. Find out more here.

Alaska Airlines has a potentially lucrative car
rental deal out in the market right now. You can earn 10,000 Mileage
Plan miles for rentals of a premium car for 5 or more days. I detail the
offer more in a post on FrequentFlyerBonuses as there are opportunities
to earn miles at a cost just above 2 cents US per mile which is in the
same neighbourhood of buying miles. Unfortunately the better prices for
rentals are in the U.S., I did some random searches for cities across
Canada and couldn’t find any cheap rentals like I did for places like
Orlando. That being said if you do need to rent a car here or abroad be
sure to check the offer out. Find out more here.
