– RewardsCanada.ca
Good news today for those who convert Membership Rewards points to British Airways! News, Tips & TricksThere is news in the U.S. that is blowing up and that is the change in the conversion rate from American Express Membership Rewards to British Airways Executive Club. As of October 1st those living to the South of us will lose their 1:1 conversion rate in favour (or should I say favor) of 1.25:1 ratio where they convert 250 MR points to 200 Avios. I reached out to American Express here in Canada and the good news is there is no plan for them to follow suit and will keep the 1:1 ratio.And if you missed it somehow we released an updated and bigger version of our Yoga Infographic looking at the flexibiility of proprietary travel rewards credit card programs!

Thanks to long time Rewards Canada reader Kevin A. for forwarding the details on the merger!Earlier this year there was big news that Marriott Hotels purchased our homegrown Delta Hotels brand. The big question at the time was not if but when would Delta integrate into Marriott Rewards. Well now we know the answer and its real soon! As of June 18th Marriott Rewards becomes the official loyalty program for Delta Hotels. Find all the details on Marriott’s site here.Delta Privilege members will continue to receive all their regular entitled benefits until February 2016 and if you are a Marriott Rewards member here is what you will enjoy as well.The merger sees limited Marriott Rewards capacity until Delta is fully integrated into Marriott’s systems. So what this means is that from June 18, 15 to early 2016 Marriott Rewards members will not be able to earn or redeem points or status credits for Delta stays but you will still be able to earn 500 Aeroplan miles for stays until early 2016. If you are an elite member with Marriott Rewards you will however enjoy your elite benefits on Delta Hotel stays starting on June 18th!Read all about the merger of Delta Hotels Privilege into Marriott Rewards here…Are You Ready, Home Buyer?
