And I need to spend 120 CAD for that? And GCR returns 50 CAD to boot? 70 CAD buys me 20 000 Aeroplan miles? That's... a brutal deal? What am I missing...? just eat accepts amex just fine, and foodora too per their twitter. I mean, Aeroplan isn't worth that much any more but 0.35 cents is pretty nice...
Not Aeroplan Miles - Amex MR (that can only be transferred to hotel points).
So $500 a month eating out = 2500 MRs x 12 = 30,000 MRs (I plan to transfer these to SPG x 0.5 = 15,000 SPGs - and then transfer to Marriott x 3 = 45,000 Marriott Rewards).
You can also earn a 10K bonus if you spend $3000 in 3 months - which is an extra 15,000 Marriot Rewards for me.
That's a $7,500 annual spend + $70 cash for 60,000 Marriott Rewards. I like that deal A LOT.
Not sure if I'll keep the card beyond one year....time will tell...
