As a follow up to our post last week
detailing the new statement credits that are being awarded to Aeroplan
co-brand credit cards for booking Air Canada flights we wanted to
provide further details on the Amex statement credits. The American Express
offers provide more flexibilty than those seen with the TD or CIBC
cards.That is, Amex Cardmembers can earn the statement credit for every
$400 spent, regardless of the number of tickets or bookings made. For
example, if an American Express Reserve Cardmember was to book a $2,000
fare with Air Canada, they would receive $250 back outright. The same
applies for American Express Aeroplan Cardmembers, who would receive a
$125 credit outright for a $2,000 booking thought Air Canada.With the TD
and CIBC offers if you bought that $2,000 fare you would only receive a
$25 or $50 statement credit depending on which card you have. Just some
food for thought if you are booking Air Canada flights and hold
Aeroplan co-brand cards from Amex and TD or CIBC. Learn more about the statement credit promotion here

The Canada – US border closure has been extended
again to June 21, 2021 and many people feel the closure will continue to
be extended through the summer. The border closure does nt apply to air
travel between the two countries but you do have to be aware of the
restrictions and quarantining/entry rules at your destination and upon
returning to Canada. (Source CTV News)

IHG Rewards has announced they will further extend their pause on expiring points.
Points will now not be subject to expire until December 31, 2021 from
the previous extension of June 30, 2021. This is perfect for me as I
have some IHG Rewards points that were set to expire next month so that
gives roughly 6 more months to either earn a point or redeem a point.
Not sure if I’ll have any IHG stays this year but at least it gives me
time to decide if I buy points when there is a bonus to keep the points
in my account or perhaps make a small conversion of points to one of the
airline programs I use. Learn more here
