Blue Rewards and Amazon: 10 $1,000 gift cards
During Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, Blue Rewards is giving away 10 Amazon gift cards worth $1,000 among its Members. The contest runs from September 28 to October 7, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. (ET) and is open to Canadian residents aged 18 or older, Quebec included. There are two ways to enter, with the same odds, and a limit of one entry per Member:
- With a purchase: enroll on the contest page, then spend $130 or more before taxes at Amazon through Blue Rewards Shops on October 6 or 7, with an active Amazon Prime account.
- Without a purchase: email your contact details, Blue Rewards Member number and an original essay of at least 100 words, received by October 7, 2026 at 11:59:59 p.m. (ET). A Prime subscription isn’t required for this option.
- Draw: October 22, 2026 at 2 p.m. (ET), in Toronto.
Chexy "First Class": three business-class trips
Each draw also awards 999 secondary prizes in Chexy Cash, from $5 to $2,000. Entries are accepted by period:

The contest is open to Canadian residents who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory, Quebec included. A free Chexy account is required to claim a prize. For full details, see our article on the Chexy "First Class" contest.
Tuango and Wingbuddy: $25,000 trip
The ten destinations offered are the Azores, Greece, the Canary Islands, Iceland, Italy, Peru, Portugal, Tunisia, Vietnam, and a Prague-Vienna-Budapest circuit. No purchase is required and you can only register once, but each friend who accepts your invitation gives you one additional entry, up to five.
Three conditions are worth reading before you register.
- The contest is reserved for residents of Quebec and Ontario aged 18 and over, unlike most contests on this page.
- The flight must depart from Montreal-Trudeau or Quebec-Jean Lesage, in economy class, and the booking is made with Wingbuddy no later than October 1, 2027.
- Registration subscribes you to promotional emails from Tuango and Wingbuddy. This is a condition of the rules, not an optional checkbox.
The form and complete rules can be found on the contest website.
How to maximize your chances
Most of these contests reward multiple entries: each eligible action adds an entry. Read each set of rules carefully, note the deadline, and use the right credit card when a purchase counts as an entry. To choose a suitable card, see our selection of the best credit cards.
