– RewardsCanada.ca
We got an email late last night from the team at PointsHound letting us know that they expanded the Double-Up program to include eligible rates from hotel brands participating in the Club Carlson and Wyndham Rewards frequent guest programs. This amounts to another 5,000 Double-Up rates at hotels in U.S. destinations. What is Double-Up?Double-Up refers to a specific rate type that gives members of major hotel loyalty programs the opportunity to earn frequent guest points, status credit and elite benefits in addition to the frequent flyer miles awarded by PointsHound.Essentially with Double-Up rates you get the best of both worlds on your hotel bookings!As a show of their appreciation of Rewards Canada’s support of PointsHound since their inception the first time booking bonus for new members has been increased to 1,000 miles for those who join via our referral link. The normal bonus is 250 miles for referrals via most referrers save for a few other bloggers who have also been extended this increased referral bonus offer from PointsHound…TD Aeroplan Visa Card details revealed? (Rumour Only at this time!)
– RewardsCanada.ca
The first hints of the new TD Aeroplan Visa’s are out on the Aeroplan website but there are very little details about it. When I started writing this post I had not seen that the details of the cards that seemed to have been leaked on Redflagdeals.com. I am awaiting confirmation back from Aeroplan whether the details on RFD are correct. Here is the gist of my post before coming across the RFD thread:Essentially the interim TD Card will offer the same 1.5x Aeroplan Miles bonus multiplier as the current the CIBC Aerogold cards for Gas, Grocery and Drug Store purchases.

We had a meeting with Aeroplan a few weeks and believe this may not be the actual offering from the card once it is officially launched. Why is this? The cards that are being issued as of January 1st will have TD branding but will still be managed by CIBC (which means the statement will actually read CIBC even though the card will have a TD logo) and this will be the case until CIBC and TD determine which cardholders move to each respective bank…
