New Amex Offers for Our Place and Au Lit Fine Linens
Two more Amex Offers came out today for Our Place (They make amazing cookware – my wife loves them!) and Au Lit Fine Linens:
Get a statement credit equal to 20% of total qualifying purchases when you use your registered Card at www.fromourplace.ca by 26/07/2023. Limit of $40 in total credits. Registration cap applies. Terms apply.
Spend at least $600 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at the Au Lit Fine Linens location in Toronto or at www.aulitfinelinens.com by 26/07/2023 and earn a one-time $120 statement credit. Terms apply.
Personally I received these offers on The Platinum Card from American Express but you may receive it on a different card. These are also available to holders of Scotiabank American Express Cards who simply need to register for the offer here.
Simply log in to your Amex account or go onto the Amex app to see if these offers have been sent to you and to register for them. You can find this and many more offers in our Guide to American Express Canada ‘Amex Offers’

Hyatt Hotels to acquire Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Hyatt Hotels has announced the planned acquisition of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, the London based travel club that offers direct booking access to 1,500+ boutique and luxury properties around the world. Currently Mr. & Mrs. Smith is partnered with IHG and as such we can assume that once Hyatt’s acquisition of the hotel booking service is complete the parternship with IHG One Rewards will come to a close. Hyatt states they ” look forward to providing World of Hyatt members with a whole new collection of rewarding experiences” so these properties will be accessible to the World of Hyatt program.
“We are excited by this planned acquisition and to explore bringing guests and World of Hyatt members even more global luxury offerings across hundreds of geographies – including over 20 countries where there are currently no Hyatt hotels such as Fiji, Croatia, Iceland and Anguilla,” said Mark Vondrasek, chief commercial officer, Hyatt. “Founders Tamara and James Lohan alongside their impressive team have built the ultimate global direct booking collection of truly unique stay experiences including rooms located in treehouses, within caves, and underwater suites. Importantly, we see a lot of synergy between our collective ethos of care, and we look forward to working together to bring our shared focus to new, memorable stay experiences for guests and World of Hyatt members – and introduce new guests to Hyatt hotels around the world.”
