November 24 Update: Aeroplan furthers extends the pause on points expiry to September 2022 & a new 1,000 bonus points offer for Best Western stays + MORE Nov 24th

 The online cash back rewards site Rakuten (formerly ebates.ca) will be offering up to a 10% cash back rebate or higher as their main Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer. They have already launched some Black Friday offers providing up 3x cash back right now which with some retailers already puts them at the 10% or higher mark. So be sure to check what a Rakuten is offering right now to compare and if they aren’t near that 10% mark it may be best to wait to make your online purchases until Friday.On top of the cash back you’ll also earn whatever miles or points you get from the credit card used to make the purchase and you’ll also earn points, miles or whatever currency the online merchant may have with their own loyalty program.  If you haven’t signed up for Rakuten yet you can join via our referral link and if you spend $30 you’ll get $30 cash back and so will we. (Thank you in advance to anyone who does sign up via our link!) We’ll be sure to remind you on Friday when this offer goes live…
