A breakdown of the PC Optimum Program and the 3 PC Financial Mastercards + MORE Nov 4th

 Today’s update contains several reminders! This is your last chance to book Aeroplan rewards at the old mileage levels – come Friday evening you will no longer be able to book flight rewards and non-air rewards. If you have been on the fence about booking award flights there is no harm in doing so to lock them in since Aeroplan’s generous refund policy will allow to cancel those flights with full refund of miles (points as of November 8) and a full refund of the taxes and fees so long as you cancel by December 31. Some actions with Aeroplan and Air Canada have been suspended already until the transition to the new program is complete. Learn more here. These are the ones that are still available until the evening of November 6: Flight Rewards – Flight rewards will be temporarily unavailable for new reservations, changes and cancellations from the evening of Nov. 6, through the afternoon of Nov. 8. If a member is traveling during that time and needs immediate support for a previously booked flight reward reservation, they can contact the Aeroplan Contact Centre at 1-800-361-5373…

American Express Canada and Marriott have teamed up to provide a limited time points earning boost for holders of the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card. From now until January 3, 2021 cardmembers can earn an additional 5 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar spent with Marriott. This means you would earn 10 points per dollar spent as the card’s base earn rate on Marriott purchases is 5 points per dollar. That’s a huge boost and the crazy part of the promotion is that non-Marriott stay purchases such as buying Marriott gift cards or merchandise purchases from Marriott count as well. So even if you aren’t planning any Marriott stays in the next two months you could always order gift cards from them for those future travels of yours. The promotion is open to all Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Cardmembers including those who apply for and receive the card during the promotional period.Learn more about and/or apply for the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card here…

Though the Loblaw Companies brand is known mostly for groceries, it’s actually affiliated with a wide array of retailers, which is excellent news for consumers looking to benefit from the PC Optimum program. In addition to the Loblaws supermarkets, the brand owns numerous upscale food shopping chains, from CityMarket to Zehrs, while also catering to discount and bulk shoppers with No Frills and the Real Canadian Superstore. The group also includes online bank PC Financial (including the new PC Money Account), drug store chain Shoppers Drug Mart and apparel brand Joe Fresh. Do you have something in your pantry packaged in the simple yellow-and-black of No Name brand? How about vitamins, toiletries or personal care products by Life Brand? President’s Choice revolutionized packaged foods in the mid-’80s and has since become a trusted product line. All of these are Loblaw brands, which means they’re eligible for earnings in the Loblaws reward program, PC Optimum.
Plus, if you sign up for any of the three no-fee PC Mastercard credit cards, not only will you unlock the ability to earn on every purchase, you’ll bump up your PC Point earn rate…
