Amex Offers: Spend $10 at McDonald’s, receive a $5 statement credit!
– RewardsCanada.ca
Yes you read that right – spend only $10 at McDonald’s and you can get a $5 statement credit if your American Express card is targeted for this latest Amex Offers offer. Maximizers of course will try to make their purchase as close to $10 as possible without going under so that they essentially get a 50% discount on that purchase. And the offer is valid twice per registered card!In the Rewards Canada household we got this offer on two cards. For me I received it on the American Express Gold Rewards Card while my wife received it on her Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card. Yes we can go to McDonald’s four times between now and December 15 and get $5 back each time. Will we? I hope not! As much as McDonald’s is loved by everyone I’m not sure we could handle four times in just under four weeks :-)Just like all other Amex offers you have to login to the Amex app or online at americanexpress.ca and navigate to Amex offers to see if your card(s) have been targeted with this offer. This offer is limited to the first 40,000 cardmembers who register for it so be sure to do so now rather than later.What you actually have to spend to get some of the best credit card welcome bonus offers
– RewardsCanada.ca
You may recall earlier in the month we had a blog post entitled “What you actually have to spend to get some of the best credit card welcome bonus offers” Well that post turned out to be extremely popular so I decided to make it into a full time feature page on the main Rewards Canada website. By doing this it allowed me to expand it beyond the nine cards we had in that post and it will be easier to keep updated with new offers as they come along and when old offers end.This feature does really put to light what the true requirements are to get the advertised bonus offers – it’s not as easy as the issuers make it seem in some cases! It may make you think twice about an offer and maybe go for one that has a little less value but a lot less effort in terms of spending. All food for thought!You can access the new feature here (be sure to bookmark it!)Here’s a screenshot of the just the first few cards on the list:
Just a reminder that as of 8pm Eastern time tonight the Air Canada and Aeroplan websites and call centres will be unavailable for their reservations system migration. This is expected to last until mid-day tomorrow. Learn more here.We’ve added another bonus offer to our Top 6 tips for maximizing miles & points earning on your holiday shopping. It is an Aeroplan bonus for using the UPS Store – perfect for those who are needing to ship presents this holiday season. The offer provides 2x miles on supplies and triple miles for higher level shipping services until December 20.

Log in to your American Express account online to see if these have appeared for you as well.
