This is another hotel where the value of Marriott Bonvoy points can go a long way! During July you can free nights for 37,000 points for rooms that run over $400 per night and that’s before taxes and fees! Another great example of the value of having the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card and/or the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card for your everyday spending (not to mention great value for the 5x points earned on the American Express Cobalt Card

Turns out the CIBC Adapta Mastercard is not the first automatically adaptive rewards card in Canada

CIBC Adapta Mastercard

Last week we covered the release of the new CIBC Adapta Mastercard which was touted by CIBC as the first of its kind in Canada. Going on that release we did say the new card which offers automatically adapting top three spend categories was an innovative new feature but it turns out they are not the first in Canada to offer something like this.

 

 

As pointed out by Kiraly on RFD, Affinity Credit Union also offers a similar feature where they will award bonus points on your highest category of spend for the month. Now, Affinity only offers it on one category versus CIBC Adapta’s three and Affinity also only awards it on 20% of that highest spend versus unlimited on the CIBC card. But in the end the concept is the same in that it automatically adapts your earn rate on a monthly basis without the cardholder having to worry about selecting a card or spend category beforehand.
