RWRDS Daily Update – October 4

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

Ultimate Aeroplan Credit Card Portfolio

Rewards Canada’s Ultimate Aeroplan Credit Card Portfolio has been updated! This was the very first ultimate portfolio published on Rewards Canada back in February of 2016. It kicked off a whole series of nearly 20 porftolios since that time. Over the year the portfolio has seen several changes and this latest update is no different. This update keeps two of the three cards that have been in the portfolio for quite sometime and those are the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinte Card and the MBNA Best Western Mastercard. On the Amex side however the Gold Rewards Card has now been replaced with the Cobalt Card thanks to the latter now having the option to convert directly to Air Canada Aeroplan. Check out the updated portfolio here.

Flying Blue Promo Rewards

For the fourth or fifth month in a row we don’t see any Air France KLM Flying Blue promo rewards from Canada. These are the discounted award flight options the program are famous for. They do have some offers out of the U.S. that sees the newly lowered economy class flights of 15,000 miles one way being reduced to 11,250 miles each with this promotion. It would be awesome to see the offers come back for Canadian departures – I mean how can you go wrong with 11,250 miles to Europe? Check the current offers here.
