Whoa. That's fantastic!

I guess the rep screwed up my purchase?

Only got the 2 miles for $2 purchase and 150 first purchase, no sign of the 500 bonus

EDIT: Went back and made another purchase, this time making sure they inputted both the Get More number and Aeroplan number (the clerk was about to do only the Get More number this time).

Transaction at 9:50 am, posted onto my Aeroplan account when I checked at 10:05 am

Which location did you go to, wpgpoints? The two locations I've tried seem to have an incredibly hard time figuring out the process of punching in my Get More number... not exactly an awesome first experience with the UPS Store

The one in the underground shops downtown (Winnipeg Square) at Portage and Main in Winnipeg.

At the latest UPS store I visited, this seemed to be a 2 step process for them.

The Get More! card got me 10% off.
Then they asked if I also had an Aeroplan number, so I could get points.
They typed in both numbers.

Get More! and Aeroplan appears to be two different steps.

I sense that clerk is seeing many people come into make tiny purchases to get the points.

Other offers available. Not bad.

Thanks to Rewards Canada blog for pointing these out.

I've only just got into churning recently, I'm a Canadian citizen living and working in America. Is there anything stopping me applying for a Canadian Marriott card with my Canadian SIN? (Already have the Chase Marriott card in the US)

The extra 50k points and the 15 stay credits would be pretty sweet..

Your SIN number should not be a factor. Do you still have at least one other active Canadian credit card, a good payment history and a Canadian address? Would a credit report show activity for creditcards or a mortgage or other loan?

I currently have an active Canadian credit card, perfect payment history and an address. I have activity on my cards, and a line of credit, yes.

Sounds good to me. Those are the factors they're looking for.

Thanks for this. I added Mr. Fink and he added me for a nice 15K for each of us. And as a side note, I don't think it's targeted as I never received the mailing and just called in and asked for it. No problem at all.

Did your points post immediately? at the moment I'm still at the "you should be eligible for the promotion but wait for the points to post 8 weeks after authorized user uses the card" stage

We each have to make one purchase once we get the cards but she said the bonus would post with the first statement following the first purchase. But she confirmed the bonus. Did you do it online? Is that where you saw the 'you should be eligible for the promotion...'? I looked for a way on the Chase site but couldn't find the promo so I called in. She said the cards would arrive this week (I am also in YVR).
