September 7 Update: Update for the Amex Gold Rewards Card waitlist offer, Amex Aeroplan Reserve Card also gets a NEXUS credit & updates to two of our features + MORE Sep 7th

Here’s your Rewards Canada Daily update! Your daily dose (or near daily dose) of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more.  Wanted to provide a heads up to the American Express Gold Rewards Card waitlist offer we posted early this morning. If you read our post between 3:30am and 10:30am MT and filled out the form then I would recommend doing so again as Amex didn’t update the landing page until later today. The form looks the same but the title and graphics have changed – I would feel better if our readers filled out the updated page form just to be safe! Read that post here.Image via American Express —  One more American Express Card is receiving the new NEXUS credit benefit. The American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card now has a $100 NEXUS credit every four years.

Totally forgot to add the American Express Green Card! It like the Cobalt Card can now convert directly to Aeroplan so on the list it goes and it is also the best no fee card in the market for earning Aeroplan points…

Update: The waitlist form is now up and running!Update: Please wait to sign up as Amex is updating the landing page – we’ll update this post once we know the new form is up.Last Thursday we brought you the details of the revamped American Express Gold Rewards Card. In that post we mentioned that a waitlist offer would be available on the card soon. Well that offer is here and it is 5,000 additional points over and above whatever the new welcome bonus offer will be when the card is brought back into the market. To receive the bonus points you must join the waitlist between today (September 7) and September 20. Then you will receive an email from American Express letting you know when you can apply for the card. Follow the instructions in the email and apply for the card by the date provided and if you are approved you’ll receive those 5,000 additional points. That’s all there is to it! There is no harm in joining the waitlist if you are unsure about the newly revamped card and don’t end up going for it…

 Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of September 2021! This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good acquisition (welcome/sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the just sign up bonus, but when some of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards. This month we see two first year free cards on the list.The new offer that came out the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card sees it make its debut on the list – and that’s even with having a $599 annual fee! It takes the third spot overall on the list pushing down it’s sibling the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card to fourth spot. The new offer for the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard sees it edge out the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card for fifth spot. Remember as well that you will find this list smack dab in the middle of the Rewards Canada homepage for easy reference!Here are our top 5 credit card sign up offers for September (in order of welcome bonus value, calculated as minimum mile/points value minus annual fee)American Express® Aeroplan®* Reserve Card (Apply here)Minimum value: $1,051The new offer on this card sees 30,000 Aeroplan points and Bonus Buddy Pass being awarded when you spend $3,000 on the card in the first three months…
