Black Friday and Cyber Monday of 2024 are underway!
This is the perfect time to buy Christmas gifts at low prices and treat yourself. When it comes to the best deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, one reflex is to use online shopping portals.
Going through one of these online shopping portals BEFORE making your purchases will earn points, miles or cash back. And it’s in addition to the ones you will get just by using your credit card!
Here are the most popular portals in Quebec and Canada:
Many of these portals run promotions for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
December 2, 2024 only, is Cyber Monday at Air Canada:
Between November 28 and December 2, 2024, shop via the Aeroplan eStore portal with 250 Aeroplan partners and earn up to 10 bonus points per dollar spent. The multiplier varies by partner and includes the following retailers:
Plus, earn an additional 50% Aeroplan points per dollar spent, only for Aeroplan credit card holders when purchasing at the Aeroplan eStore. Registration is mandatory for this promotion.
What’s more, if you have Aeroplan status, it will also give you 2 X the points. After that, Aeroplan credit card base accumulation earns up to another 1.25 Aeroplan points.
So, if you synchronize your purchases well, you could earn up to 19.25 Aeroplan points per dollar.
It can go up very quickly and this is THE best time of the year to enjoy it!
