RWRDS Daily Update – September 1, 2023

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

Receive a 25% discount when you buy World of Hyatt points

Hyatt is out with another buy points offer and this time they are back to a discount instead of a bonus. When you buy 5,000 or more points in one transaction they will give a 25% discount on the price. The last few offers from them have been either a 25% bonus or a 25% discount which are lower than the 30 to 40% bonus or 30% discount we had seen from Hyatt previously.

With the discount the price works out to 1.8 cents (US) per point which is lower than the 1.85 cents seen if it was a 30% bonus but higher than 1.714 cents per point (US$) seen when they have run their highest bonus of 40%. Nonetheless depending on how you redeem them it can still be worthwhile to purchase them with this 25% discount for rewards around the globe or even if you just need a few thousand points to top off for an award

Three new Amex Offers from TTC, netParcel & St. Louis Bar & Grill

A trio of new Amex Offers were released today:

TTC – Tap with your registered Amex Card and go
Until 31/12/2023, tap to pay with your registered Amex Card for a qualifying contactless adult fare purchase of at least $3 on eligible PRESTO devices at TTC, GO Transit, UP Express or select transit agencies and earn a $1 statement credit. Limit of 10 credits. Excludes PRESTO vending machines. Registration cap and terms apply.

netParcel
Spend at least $30 in qualifying purchases using your registered Card at www.netparcel.com by 31/12/2023 and earn a $10 statement credit. Limit of 2 credits. Terms apply.

St. Louis Bar & Grill

Personally I received the netParcel offer on The Platinum Card from American Express and I assume since I am in Calgary did not receive the other two. You may receive these offers on a different card. All three 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’
