June 3 Update: TurboTax offer for RBC cardholders, Amex offer for Pink Martini Queen Street and Canadian Alaska Airlines Mastercards will not see elite benefits like the U.S.

There is a new RBC Offers special out for TurboTax
where you can get 20% off Standard, Premier, Self-Employed, Assist
& Review, or Assist & Review Self Employed products. See our Guide to RBC Royal Bank ‘RBC Offers‘ for more details. The offer runs until June 30 and I received it on the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard.

American Express also has a new Amex Offers deal
for those in the GTA region for shopping at Pink Martini Collection
Queen Street. If you spend at least $100 you will earn a $15 credit.
Unlike a lot of this offers which are one time only this one can be
earned up to 5 times. See our Guide to American Express Canada ‘Amex Offers‘ for more details

I have confirmation from MBNA that we will not be seeing any enhanced offers on the Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard like has been seen for Alaska Airlines credit cards in the U.S.. See this post of ours for background info on the limited time offers Alaska is providing.
