Helping Canadians maximize their travels
Aeroplan, the frequent flyer program of Air Canada, has just released an exciting contest! The Aeroplan Explore for More contest is inviting members to explore some of the features of the Aeroplan program for the chance to win one of many prizes!
Until February 14, 2021, members who participate in this contest can win one of multiple prizes which include:
Last month, Marriott Bonvoy announced details about their next Spring 2021 promotion. This new global promotion is known as “Better Two-gether”, and registration is now open.
It will offer members double points and double elite nights on stays of two nights or more between February 16 and April 27, 2021. Only hotel bookings with a minimum one paid night are eligible for this promotion.
TD Bank has announced some new offers for their co-branded Aeroplan credit cards. This Spring 2021 promotion sees a considerable improvement on the welcome bonus on these cards which is now up to 20,000 Aeroplan points! Plus, there’s an offer to earn bonus Aeroplan points when you open a new eligible TD chequing account!
This past week, Marriott Bonvoy announced some new winter promotions and a generous gift for elite status members. It’s clear that there’s been a reduction in travel and hotel stays over the past year. So, Marriott is enticing people to stay with them this winter and rewarding their loyal members.
American Express regularly offers bonus promotions for it’s card holders. Until January 3, 2021, there’s a new promotion available for Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® card members!
Generally, for most regular purchases, this credit card only offers 2 Bonvoy points per dollar spent. But, this new promotion offers additional bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for purchases at restaurants, food delivery, gas stations and stays at Marriott hotels. Plus, no registration required for this promo!
Indigo (aka Chapters/Indigo) is Canada’s largest bookstore chain and one of my favorite places to shop. Not only do they have a wide selection of books, but they also sell accessories, home decor, stationery, electronics (like the Kobo e-reader) and toys.
With Indigo’s Black Friday sale (up to 50% off) and Christmas sales, learn how to earn some extra cash back with your online purchases at Indigo!
Marriott Bonvoy has just released a new limited-time promotion which might be of interest for those with upcoming hotel stays. Without a doubt, this is one of the best offers ever from Marriott on purchasing Bonvoy points.
From November 19 until November 25, 2020, Marriott Bonvoy is offering a 60% bonus on purchased points when you buy at least 2,000 points in one transaction.
EDIT: As of 2023, Mogo no longer offers the ability to check your credit score or free identity protection 🙁
Knowing your credit score is really important when you’re looking to apply for a credit card, personal loan or a mortgage. Basically, it’s a number that demonstrates your credit worthiness to financial institutions.
In Canada, there are many ways to check your credit score but it comes at a cost. For example, the credit bureau Equifax charges between $12 and $20/month for credit report monitoring.
But now, Canadian fintech companies Borrowell and Mogo both allow you to check regularly your Equifax credit score completely for FREE!
EDIT: The Ampli app is no longer accepting new customers! The last day to redeem your cash back is be Dec 11, 2023 and the Ampli app will be discontinued as of Feb 1, 2024!
This past year, there’s been an increase in the amount of shopping done in Canada. In fact, online shopping has almost doubled to record new highs due to the pandemic!
With so much shopping taking place, wouldn’t it be great to have an app that rewards you for your everyday and online purchases?
Well turns out, there is!
Ampli by Avion Rewards is a cash back app that rewards Canadians for their everyday purchases at participating stores. This review of the Ampli app will highlight all the details you need to know about this cash back app.
