Rewards Canada’s Ultimate No Strings Attached Travel Credit Card Portfolio
received a much needed update yesterday after a couple years of no
updates. This portfolio looks at one American Express, one Mastercard
and one Visa card that provide the utmost in travel points fleixibilty
and when you combine them all create the Ultimate No Strings Attached
Travel Credit Card Portfolio. We see the HSBC World Elite Mastercard
replace the MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercard and the Scotiabank
Passport Visa Infinite Card replace the TD First Class Travel Visa
Infinite Card in the portfolio. Check out the portfolio here.
The InterContinental Toronto Yorkville is set to become a Sonesta Hotel as
the hotel’s owner Service Properties Trust is ending their relationship
with IHG which will mean 103 hotels in the Americas including the IC
Toronto Yorkville are being transitioned away for IHG. This switch will mean the
IC Canada will see their first Sonesta Hotels as that brand has no locations here yet. Most likely the Staybridge Suites Markham will move as well since it is also owned by the same company. FYI Sonesta Hotels
has their loyalty program entitled Travel Pass and we’ve covered their
bonus points offers and their elite status match since 2015 on Rewards
Canada. In fact the Status Match offer has played an integral part of
our feature How to maximize the elite status benefits from The Platinum Card from American Express
for nearly four years now. And now as the hotel chain will have a
Canadian location you can expect even more coverage of Sonesta and the
Travel Pass program on RC. Check out our Sonesta Hotels Travel Pass Bonus Points page here. (Source One Mile at a Time)
