June 23 Update: Amex Shop Small promotion returns tomorrow, potential to make money with Best Western’s promotions & Dubai to open up on July 7
– RewardsCanada.ca
American Express’ Shop Small promotion returns tomorrow! The ever popular promotion sees cardmembers in select Canadian cities earn a $5 credit or 10x points each time they spend $10 at a participating Shop Small merchant. Those merchants are most of the ones that are not nationwide chains or major retailers. These are your mom and pop shops, local chains etc. The offers will launch on June 24 and in my email it states that I can earn up to $50 in statement credits. That means the $5 or 10x points will be awarded on 10 Shop Small purchases. I’ll have a complete post detailing the new promotion tomorrow but in the mean time check out our step by step guide to the American Express Shop Small Program to familiarize yourself with it! Earlier today I brought you the news that I confirmed with Best Western that you can earn $50 in gift cards with just one stay. I provided some Canadian examples where there is decent value with these promotions but those are unlike the example I used over on FrequentFlyerBonuses…More details on the pause and future evolution of WestJet Rewards Member Exclusive Fares
– RewardsCanada.ca
Last Friday we brought you the news that WestJet will be pausing their Member Exclusive Fares as of June 25. At the time there were questions on whether it is a pause or if that redemption feature of the program was going to go by the wayside. I can tell you the good news that it is strictly a pause. WestJet has committed that a solution will be in place by the end of 2020 with a better member reward offering and will continue to add more features after that. If you are unfamiliar with WestJet’s Member Exclusive Fares they are basically WestJet’s fixed grid redemption option. If you are familiar with Aeroplan’s Classic Flight rewards chart, Amex’s Fixed Points for Travel chart, the RBC Avion chart and so on that is what Member Exclusive Fares are.
The primary reason for wanting to update member exclusives is exactly what is stated on WestJet’s site – to improve the process. Right now the booking process for Member Exclusive Fares doesn’t follow their typical booking flow as if you were buying a revenue ticket or even just wanting to redeem WestJet dollars towards a revenue ticket…Podcast Episode 69 – Huge Aeroplan promotion – Receive 50% of your miles back on award flights within Canada or between Canada and the U.S.
