Got a standard email from Marriott today for 30K points upon approval of the Marriotts card. They don't seem to realise the points coming in every month from Chase are for this card, nor that there is 50K out there for signing up.

Aeroplan estore is offereing 5x the points for every store until Oct 26. It always seems to come around this time of year from what I remember, but is 5x offered any other times of the year? or even more than 5x?

I think some of us have a $250 TD Visa Infinite Luxury Hotel Collection credit from this promo: https://www.tdaeroplan.com/flyfaster
Does anyone know if a hotel can be booked for for another person?

February 2012, they had 10x per $. Trust me, I stocked up on some things I definitely didn't need at the time. Given the value you could get from AP at that time and that the credit card bonuses were less freely available, this was a phenomenal deal!

Offer is only valid for applications received by August 31, 2015. For full Visa Infinite* Luxury Hotel Collection terms and conditions and to view the Luxury Hotel Collection portfolio, please visit http://td.luxuryhotels.Visainfinite.ca/ Guests must use an eligible Visa Infinite card to reserve and pay for their stay at a Visa Infinite* Luxury Hotel Collection property. Credit must be used towards a booking made through the Visa Infinite Concierge by November 30, 2015 and stays must be completed by July 31, 2016. Redemption terms: The $250 credit is redeemable only at properties that are part of the Visa Infinite* Luxury Hotel Collection and must be booked via the Visa Infinite Concierge. You must mention the credit prior to the booking being made. The credit is not redeemable directly with a property or with any property that is not part of the Visa Infinite* Luxury Hotel Collection.

If the credit is used for the penalty for a value less than $250, any remaining excess credit will be lost. The $250 credit is in Canadian dollars and will exchanged to the local currency using the exchange rate in place the day prior to check in.

I have a TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite - I remember seeing the $250 hotel credit but not sure if I got it through the specific referral link I used. Is there anyway to check online or should I have received some e-mail? (which I did not - so maybe I don't get it?) Or do I have to call TD.

Free 250 Aeroplan Miles
Perhaps this is targeted to specific Aeroplan accounts but you might want to check your e-mails. You can get 250 free miles for filling out your goals. No idea when the miles post but it takes about 30-60 seconds so fairly easy.

I guess BMO did learn their lesson last year and make you need to apply it in person during the event.

While not for everyone, I bought some gift cards of eBay.ca, ended up paying $.0018 per mile. Mostly gas and restaurant cards.
Gap and Bay I'll get 7x anyway during the whole Black Friday madness without paying anything!

An update: I chose the SPG Amex to be my main card and demoting my Scotia Momentum Infinite to a SCENE cars as a secondary card.
I chose SPG because I love the starwood portfolio and I believe the points are more valuable as I find flight deals easier to find than hotel deals.
I could've went back to the AMEX Gold but I thought I'd try as different product.
Thoughts?

I find the opposite, for the most part, on flight vs. hotel deals. I convert my SPG points to airlines (like AA, SQ) for some good J or F redemptions. And then I get my hotels at pretty deals on hotels.com or whatever. If, however, you are looking at economy flights (might as well pay cash rather than points) and travel during peak periods (where hotel $$$ goes up, but points stay roughly the same) then I agree.
I put all the spending I can on my SPG card. That way I have the option to do both (flight or hotel). So far, it's been flight.
