Amazon is a partner of two financial institutions: American Express and TD. You can redeem American Express Membership Rewards points (1,000 Membership Rewards points = $7) or TD Rewards points (1,000 points = $3.33) at Amazon.ca.

Link your American Express or TD Rewards card to your Amazon.ca Shop with Points program. At checkout, select your American Express or TD credit card as your payment method and choose the number of points to apply to your order.

However, it’s worth noting that it’s more attractive to use your points on your Amazon purchase once it’s been charged to your American Express credit card. In fact, as with any purchase, you can use your points as an account credit at the rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = $10. Like my purchase at IGA:

Finally, visit the Aeroplan portal: you can earn up to 5 points per dollar on Amazon products by shopping online from the Aeroplan eBoutque:

For the occasion, Aeroplan launched a special offer to earn up to 13.25 points per dollar spent on Amazon during Prime Day!

As a result, you’ll accumulate :

• 5 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Amazon on October 10 and 11
• 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Amazon with Aeroplan status
• 5 additional Aeroplan Points for each Aeroplan Point earned with a TD Aeroplan credit card
• Up to 1.25 Aeroplan Base Points per dollar on TD Aeroplan credit card purchases

So, to earn the most points with this offer, it’s best to pay for your purchases with a TD Aeroplan credit card:

If you don’t have a specific purchase around Prime Day, the Amazon gift card is the best option for pampering yourself later. The advantage is that there are no fees or expiry dates to use them. They are used to purchase eligible products and services on amazon.ca or other amazon sites in other countries, and a promotion is currently running until October 23.

Also, if you’re an Aeroplan Elite Member, you’ll earn two extra points for every dollar you spend in the Aeroplan eStore.

Buy your Amazon gift cards in grocery stores(IGA, Sobeys, Métro, Super C) with one of these two cards: the American Express Cobalt^® Card and the Scotiabank Gold American Express^® Card. You’ll earn 5 points for every dollar spent on Amazon gift cards, or the equivalent of 5%. And if you use your Scotiabank Gold American Express^® Card at IGA/Sobeys grocery stores, you’ll even earn 6 points per dollar!

Right now, you can also buy a $50 Amazon gift card on Amazon.ca for a $5 credit via this link. That’s a 10% return.

Use online shopping portals like Rakuten to collect points and cashback. If you are not yet registered with Rakuten, get a $30 credit via our referral link below:
