Get 150 Aeroplan miles with first purchase at UPS Store.
Also, you get 500 additional miles if you earn the miles with a Get More! small business card.
You just need to declare a small business to get the card.
So, you can get 650 Aeroplan miles for the first purchase.

No, there's no fee for either. The Get More card is a simple frequent-buyer card. Be sure that the UPS Store clerk records your 9-digit number into their system, for you to be able to get credit.

Does this count for this thread?
Buying GC's at Esso with the Supreme Grade 5X promo using an Amex gold card? Turned $60 in gas and $200 GC into 630 Aeroplan miles. Got 520 Amex MR points too.
Looks like it's 5X on all gas as of today (with 3 fillups)

Sounds good to me.
But I don't understand the math for how you get to 630 Aeroplan miles.

If anyone has the MBNA Best Western Card how and where do the points show up? I've set up the card on the MBNA site, have 1K spent. No do I have to wait until the next statement for the miles to show? Then what? I just don't see anything on my MBNA account page. It's also going to be tight to get the bonus miles for transferring to AP. 2K extra miles.

Bonus promo on now if you're buying IHG points: 50% bonus. You can buy 4,000 points, and get 2,000 free to make 6,000 points, for US $54. If you don't have an IHG account, this is enough to get you started.

Yes, the Points & Cash "workaround"
is cheaper.
But I believe one needs to have 5,000 points in the account, to be able to make a Points & Cash reservation in the first place, that would allow you to do the workaround.
So buying points straight up from IHG, using this bonus, is for anyone who is starting with 0 points, or not many points.
