Aeroplan's 3.5x bonus is really 4.5x total. Book by Aug 3.

Air Canada's bonus math adds the multiplier on top of base points, so a 3x offer actually yields 4x total, and a 3.5x offer yields 4.5x total. New bonuses on routes like Boston (3x), Halifax-Toronto (3.5x), Frankfurt, Manila, Santiago, and Tulum (each 2x) are all bookable by August 3 for travel through December 15, 2026. The Toronto City Airport to U.S. cities (3x) deal extends to September 30. No registration needed — just book cash fares in Economy (excluding Basic).

the play

Lock in these routes by August 3, and stack earnings with an Aeroplan co-brand card like the Amex Aeroplan Reserve for 3x on Air Canada spend.

IHG Points & Cash: 15% off cash portion equals 0.51c/point, book by Aug 24.

IHG's targeted Points & Cash sale knocks 15% off the cash portion, effectively pricing purchased points at 0.51 US cents each — among the lowest we've seen. Remember, IHG doesn't offer true Points & Cash; they sell you points at booking that you then redeem as a full award. Cancel the stay and those purchased points return to your account, but the cash is gone. This is a decent way to top off your IHG balance if you've hit the annual purchase limit, with bookings due by August 24 for stays through September 7, 2026.

the play

Book a Points & Cash stay by August 24 if you need IHG points at 0.51¢ each or have a specific redemption in mind, but only if you're certain of the dates since the cash portion is non-refundable.
