AIR MILES Bonus Boom returns May 21 through 27
– RewardsCanada.ca
Back on March 17 AIR MILES decided to postpone their big Mega Miles promotion due to the COVID-19 Pandemic but now it looks like they are ready to test the waters again – not with Mega Miles but with their Bonus Boom event. This promotion is similar to Mega Miles but takes place over a much shorter period of time – perfect to gauge how ready, willing and able collectors are to go out and earn some extra miles. Bonus Boom last appeared in February 2020 with bonuses totaling over 1,000 miles and chances are we’ll see something very similar for this version. When the promotion launches you can simply navigate to the AIR MILES Bonus Boom page, select your province and then all the available offers to you will be presented. This iteration of Bonus Boom runs from May 21 to 27. Learn more about the Bonus Boom promotion here.BMO AIR MILES Mastercard Image via AIR MILESOnly a few weeks left to grab the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card with up to 30,000 Aeroplan Miles

More TD Aeroplan news to pass along to you today. If you recall a week ago today we let you know about a new promotion that saw CIBC and American Express co-branded cards receive a bonus of 5 Aeroplan Miles per dollar spent via the Aeroplan eStore. At the time TD was not included in the offer but as of today that has changed. From now until May 31 all purchases made via the Aeroplan eStore that are paid for with a TD Aeroplan Visa card will earn 5 extra miles. This is on top of the base miles and any bonus miles you normally earn from the individual eStore retailers.You can visit the Aeroplan eStore here.This bonus works for the following TD cards:TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege CardTD Aeroplan Visa Platinum* CardImage via AeroplanHilton further extends Points Unlimited Promotion – earn 2,000 bonus Honors points per stay until September 7
– RewardsCanada.ca
Hilton’s systemwide promotion that offers 2,000 Bonus Honors points per stay at Hilton Hotels worldwide plus 10,000 bonus points for every 10 nights stayed has been extended once again. It was originally scheduled to end on May 3 but was extended to May 31 and now has been further extended to stay the course of the summer until September 7. It makes sense for Hilton to extend the offer as they don’t need to spend money on creating and promoting a new offer when this very enticing offer is already in place. If you have essential travel and need a hotel stay you can consider Hilton’s brands of hotels to take advantage of this bonus right away otherwise for the rest of us the offer may not become useful until July or August. If you do have a stay between now and July 20 we recommend paying for that stay with the Platinum Card from American Express as it earns 4 points per dollar spent on travel purchases until that date. Also if you don’t have the card you really should grab it today, that is May 12 (Date is placed there just in case you read this post after the posting date) Offer detailsOFFER EXTENDED Earn 2,000 Bonus Honors points per stay at Hilton Hotels worldwide plus 10,000 bonus points for every 10 nights stayed…
