Utilizing Coast Rewards Points
Coast Hotels Stays
Coast Rewards has a simplified redemption structure for stays at their hotels. They moved away from redeeming for a free night voucher to a points for a $ discount structure. This is similar to programs like ALL Accor Live Limitless and several other hotel chains.
The program now provides a flat $0.04 CAD redemption value per point when redeemed towards Coast Hotels stays. As soon as a member has a minimum 250 points in their account they can redeem that 250 points for a $10 credit towards their hotel bill.
Members can either check the “Pay with Points” box or “enter a custom amount of points” and enter the available amount of Points they wish to apply and redeem. The Member will be responsible for paying any leftover balance when they check out. Any remaining, unused Coast Rewards Points can be applied to a future reservation prior to their expiration.
The great thing about this redemption method is that you don’t have to wait until you have enough points to redeem for a free night. You can redeem them sooner and receive a discount towards your stay or if you do have enough points redeem them for the full charge of your stay and it will be free. And with 23,000 points being worth $920 towards Coast Hotels stays, you could pay for quite a few nights with this prize!
Convert Coast Rewards Points to Aeroplan Points
Coast Rewards points can be converted to Air Canada Aeroplan on a 1:1 basis with a minimum of 1,000 points required to convert to the airline program. That means if you win the prize of 23,000 Coast Rewards Points you could choose to convert them 23,000 Aeroplan points.
Wrapping it up
RWRDS Canada has had the pleasure of working closely together with Coast Hotels for a couple of years now after covering their program for many years prior to that. We have seen them grow significantly as a brand, as a rewards program and knowing some of their plans for the future, all I have to say is watch out! Be sure to stay tuned for some exciting news from Coast that will be coming very soon and let’s all give them a big thank you for being one of the sponsors of RC23!
