Canada’s own Coast Hotels is getting in on the business of providing an extra bonus for buying gift cards. Similar to what we’ve seen from Best Western and other hotel chains Coast Hotels is essentially offering a 20% bonus when you buy their gift cards. The hotel chain will give you a $20 e-gift card for every gift card purchase of $100 or more. You will receive the bonus e-gift for every multiple of $100 gift cards even if they are in the same transaction. Here’s an example of a $200 gift card receiving two $20 e-gift cards: This offer is available until December 31, 2021 and the bonus e-gift cards have an expiry of December 31, 2022. The purchase of gift cards appears to be processed by Buyatab so unfortunately it won’t earn any travel accelerators on your credit card.Remember to earn your loyalty rewards when you stay at Coast Hotels. You can earn the hotel’s own Coast Rewards Points or you can choose to set your Coast Rewards account to automatically earn you miles/points with Air Canada Aeroplan, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan or More Rewards…Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for November – These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for this month! This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses that have very good acquisition (welcome/sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the just sign up bonus, but when some of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards. This month we see three first year free cards on the list! And remember this list is based on minimum value towards travel which we calculate as the minimum value of the welcome bonus less the annual fee. It is entirely possible to receive more value out of the welcome bonuses on all of these cards since they earn Aeroplan points or Marriott Bonvoy points – both of which can provided some huge outsized value rewards!Here are our top 5 small business credit card sign up offers for November:CIBC® Aeroplan® Visa* Business CardMinimum value: $1,200CIBC’s equivalent of the above TD card has a new offer this month that provides up to 60,000 Aeroplan points, a Buddy Pass and an annual fee rebate…New Amex Offers for United Airlines – Spend $400 and receive a $120 statement credit
