– RewardsCanada.ca
Since the start of the pandemic a lot of discussion on Rewards Canada has centered around using your loyalty reward programs to help you financially – that is to use the points or miles for cash back or cash equivalents. But what if you are healthy financially and don’t need to be shifting your loyalty program strategy and want to stick with travel rewards? Well there is no better time than now to build up your points and miles for future travel thanks to the Platinum Card from American Express double points promotion. On April 21 American Express revealed that Platinum Card cardmembers (existing and new) will receive double points on all purchases until July 20. They will also receive double the redemption value when using points for purchases although we’re not concerning ourselves with the latter for this post.On a normal day the Platinum Card will earn 3 points per dollar spend on dining (restaurants, fast food, coffee shops), 2 points per dollar on travel and 1 point on everything else…April 30 Update: Mastercard pulls Foodora offer from their site, Coast Hotels providing Fort McMurray evacuee discounts and more elite status extensions

Seeing that it is not on Mastercard Canada’s website however leads me to believe this offer is being removed completely and won’t be available to use with Foodora in other countries.Image via Foodora Coast Hotels is offering a special 50% off compassion rate at their Edmonton locations for Fort McMurray residents who have been affected by the flooding that city is experiencing. Find out more here.Image via Coast Hotels Travelzoo and Cape Mudge Resort on B.C.’s Quadra Island are selling discounted vouchers for future stays that are 100% fully refundable.
