January 22 Update: Receive a $25 Amazon gift card when you redeem HSBC Rewards points, you can have up to 4 personal Amex credit cards & the U.S. looking to implement a quarantine requirement

Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near
daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses,
deals and more. This update is brought to you by the HSBC +Rewards Mastercard which
is currently offering a welcome bonus of up to 30,000 bonus points, no
annual fee in the first year and a low 11.9% interest rate! 

 
UPDATE! Thanks to DC for forwarding the full T&Cs of this offer and – you have to redeem 150,000 points in one fell swoop to get the gift card….

There is a new (well, new as of January 15) HSBC
offer available to their cardholders. You may recall from last month we
brought you details on how HSBC now has exclusive offers akin to Amex
Offers and RBC Offers. The offers for Door Dash and Spotify are still
available but now they have also added one for an Amazon gift card. When
you redeem a minimum amount of points for an eligible reward by
January 31 HSBC will send you a $25 Amazon.ca Gift Card. They don’t
state what the minimum amount is however. I would guess that if you
redeem 25,000 points for $75 statement credit (their cash back option)
you would earn the $25 gift card.
The terms state this is only available
for the first 600 people so you may want to get in on it sooner than
later if it appeals to you. Learn more here

Avid Rewards Canada reader Harry B. asked us the following about
American Express Cards since the Cobalt Card has its amazing new offer
and he is thinking of getting the card::

is there a limit on how many AMEX cards we can have? I read on an
American site (Miles Talk) that an individual is allowed 4 personal
credit cards and 10 charge cards from AMEX. Is this the same for
Canada? I only have 2 credit cards currently with AMEX (Air Miles and
Marriott Bonvoy) but I’ve been thinking about this Cobalt card for
awhile now.

From what I had recalled we were the same here in Canada but wanted
to confirm with American Express what the rules are just in case
they changed since the last time I checked. Amex Canada has
confirmed to me that is 4 personal credit cards that one person can hold
at a time.

View from the Wing is reporting that the U.S. will put in a quarantine
requirement
similar to Canada’s for travelers arriving into the
country. Just like here the quarantine requirement would be over and
above the negative PCR test requirement that has been implemented. Find out more here.

Sobeys is offering 25 bonus AIR MILES Reward Miles when you redeem 95 Cash Miles for $10 off your bill until January 27. If you have the Platinum Card from American Express don’t forget to register for the $200 statement credit offers for shopping at Sobeys and tie it in with this promotion if you can!
