Transfer American Express Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors and receive 50% bonus points
– RewardsCanada.ca
American Express revealed a new transfer bonus this week – and if I recall correctly this is the first time we have seen it for this transfer partner! That partner is Hilton Honors and until August 31 when you transfer your Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors you’ll receive a 50% bonus. The regular conversion rate is 1:1 which means with the bonus you’ll receive 1.5 Honors points per Membership Rewards points. It is well known that the conversion to Hilton at 1:1 isn’t the greatest value when you compare it to the other hotel conversion option with Marriott Bonvoy but for some of you this bonus may be just what you need to top off your Hilton account for a free night redemption or maybe Hilton Honors is your main hotel program and you don’t even touch Marriott Bonvoy or other programs and you can use the extra points easily. Either way it is nice to see this new transfer bonus from American Express! For me I received details on this bonus for my American Express Gold Rewards card but the offer should work for any card that earns Membership Rewards pointsOffer details:50% Bonus Honors Points when you convert American Express Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors…Does Ontario’s New Financial Literacy Curriculum Go Far Enough?
– ratesupermarket.ca
The Ontario government has announced that starting in September 2019 it will be mandatory for grade 10 student to learn about financial literacy. This is a step forward to helping young people learn more about money management, but it may be too little too late. Here is what we know about the curriculum and how it will presented to student in the fall.
Embedded in careers curriculum
Financial literacy will be taught to students as part of the career studies curriculum. These financial literacy lesson will include learning about financial management, such as how to plan to fund the first year after high school. It will also teach young people about how to budget, how to compare different forms of debt and how to pay bills on time. There were also instruction on how to use credit responsibly and options to pay for postsecondary education.
Beyond money
The careers curriculum will have a focus on careers in high-growth industries such as the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM…
American Express Shop Small Promotion is back again – Earn a $5 credit for spending $5 at participating merchants
– RewardsCanada.ca
Amex’s awesome Shop Small offer is now in its third iteration! Last seen in spring, the same four Canadian cities are in the mix again and the offer provides a $5 statement credit when you spend $5 or more at participating Shop Small retailers. You can earn the statement credit for purchases from up to 5 different retailers for a total of $25. Ideally, those looking to maximize the offer will only spend $5 at each location to come out ahead by essentially getting whatever they buy for free thanks to the statement credits. This time, for this third incarnation, I received the offer for my Gold Rewards Card but in the past I did receive it for my Platinum Card from American Express and Cobalt Card. If you didn’t receive the email to register you can do so via the four links below (one for each city) with any American Express card.Toronto: www.americanexpress.ca/shopsmalltorontoVancouver: www.americanexpress.ca/shopsmallvancouverCalgary: www.americanexpress.ca/shopsmallcalgaryMontreal: www…
