 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.

 
Air Transat released news today that they will receive $700 Million
in funding from the Federal Government and as such will now allow
travellers who received travel credits as a result of COVID-19 to
request refunds for those credits. It’s been a long time coming for
Canadian consumers to get refunds on all the flights and vacation
packages that had to be cancelled since last March. WestJet took the
initiative first out of the big carriers with Air Canada and now Air
Transat only announcing refunds once they were granted loans from the
government. Air Transat has set up a dedicated page on their website
where you can request a refund for your travel credit. Visit that page here and please let us and our fellow readers know how the process works out for you!

This is the criteria for getting a refund from Air Transat:

Eligibility criteria:

  1. I have a travel credit
  2. My departure was scheduled for February 1, 2020, or later
  3. My booking was made before April 29, 2021
  4. I did not transfer my travel credit, nor was it transferred to me
  5. I did not submit a claim to my insurance company
  6. My booking is not subject to an active chargeback claim, nor has it already been refunded by my credit card provider

 A new Amex Offer is available for ordering from Kinton Ramen. This
offer doesn’t show up for any of my cards (I’m guessing because there
are no Kinton Ramens in Alberta) but I did find it on Amex’s general page of offers which tends to list offers that are open to all members. The offer is as follows:

Spend at least $20 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card
at participating Kinton Ramen location(s) or at www.kintonramen.com by
19/07/2021 and earn a one-time $5 statement credit.

You’ll find this and all other offers on our Guide to American Express Canada ‘Amex Offers’
