IGA stores in Quebec to start accepting American Express cards and confirmation of Air Canada as part of the International Airline Program

Rewards Canada Team Uncategorized

Here’s your Rewards Canada update! Your near daily dose of
loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.

Great news being forwarded on to us from one our readers! Sam let us
know that they received a letter from Scotiabank letting them know that
their Scotiabank American Express Card will accepted at IGA stores in
Quebec as of October 2022. Historically, most IGA stores in Quebec have
not accepted American Express (some have though) and while the letter states acceptance of
the Scotiabank Amex I would be led to believe this means all Amex cards
will be accepted at IGA stores in Quebec. This of course means
you’ll soon be able to earn up to 6x points per dollar spent at Quebec
IGA stores with the Scotia Amex Cards or 5x points on cards like the American Express Cobalt Card.

As mentioned a few weeks ago from our piece An unsung benefit that provides big savings on premium travel with major airlines as well as WestJet economy class
we would reach out to American Express about Air Canada’s participation
in the International Airline Program. Amex Canada has confirmed Air
Canada is part of the program and provided some examples of
availability! I guess I was just unlucky in the choices I made for
searching Air Canada availability! Click here to check out our Guide to the International Airline Program
