RWRDS Daily Update July 4: 20x miles via AIR MILES Shops for Amazon Prime Day & IHG Hotels are bringing the voco brand to Canada

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

Earn 20x miles via AIR MILES Shops for Amazon Prime Day

As everyone gears up for Amazon Prime Day there is another big bonus to take note of! If you are primarily collecting AIR MILES for your online shopping you’ll want to make sure you do your Amazon Prime Days shopping via AIR MILES Shops as they are offering 20x miles from July 8 to 11.

The offer is actually two separate bonuses in one: 10x miles via AIR MILES Shops and then a Flash Offer for 10x more miles. Not sure the reasoning behind this as the Flash Offer does not require opt-in but whatever works! It’s 20x miles in the end!

“Starting July 8, shop eligible Amazon categories through airmilesshops.ca and stack 10x AIR MILES® Reward Miles™* with our 10x Miles Amazon Flash Offer** to get 20x Miles. That’s on top of Amazon Prime Day deals.”

IHG Hotels are bringing the voco brand to Canada

voco hotels, a premium brand under the banner of IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced their entry into the Canadian market in the coming years. Three hotels have been confirmed so far in Montreal, Niagara Falls, and Toronto.

The first planned openings for voco hotels in Canada include:

voco Niagara Falls – Fallsview: voco Niagara Falls – Fallsview will assume a coveted space along the city’s highly travelled tourist district upon its slated opening in late 2026. A conversion of an existing hotel, the property will incorporate elements of the hotel’s heritage, featuring 232 guest rooms spanning two adjoined towers. After a day of adventure in Niagara Falls, Ontario, guests can opt to dine at the on-property restaurant or relax in the revamped lobby area, complete with a coffee shop, indoor pool and fitness centre.

voco Montreal: The new-build downtown Montreal hotel is the brand’s first Canadian property to break ground as it targets a mid-2027 opening. Located a short distance from the Montreal Convention Center, University of Montreal Health Centre and the gateway to Old Montreal, voco Montreal will offer 55 guest rooms and spacious restaurant and lobby lounge concepts.

voco Toronto Airport West: Situated near Toronto Pearson International Airport, this new build hotel will blend both convenience and environmental consciousness. In addition to its 180 rooms, the property will include a restaurant and bar, fitness center and 3,500 square feet of meeting space. Targeted to open in 2027, voco Toronto Airport West aspires to be a zero-emissions, carbon-neutral hotel – the first of its kind in Canada as well as the first in the country to participate in IHG’s leading Low Carbon Pioneers Program.
