Marriott Rewards MORE shopping portal

Deal Link: https://more.marriottrewards.com/

Marriott just introduced a new shopping portal: Marriott Rewards MORE program. You can earn Marriott points along the way from select retailers (similar to airmilesshops.ca etc), or even pay with points. These points are immediately available to use for their next purchase, a hotel redemption stay, experiences available on Marriott Rewards Moments, and more.

Marriott Rewards MORE is powered by Engage People Inc and it is available in the U.S., U.K. and Canada now.  You need to use App or Chrome extension to access it. To download the App on Android and iOS, click the relevant link below.

Android:

iOS:

http://go.lrgrewards.com/marriott-more-ios-uk

The retailer sites includes Amazon, Apple, Converse, NET-A-PORTER, Nike, Ralph Lauren and Sephora etc.

There is one thing strange that different person may get different offers. For example, some one got offer like "Earn 7/6/5/3 points for every $1 spent" for Amazon (and this is NOT based on your Marriott Elite level). And the offer may change from time to time. I got Amazon "5 points/$1" at first, and it changed to "6 points/$1" after 1 hour... Interesting...

Earn Rewards Points by shopping with the new mobile app and desktop extension. Members earn an additional 1,000 points for their first transaction of $25 or more. Those who pay with their Marriott Rewards credit card will earn 25% more bonus points after each transaction.

This 25% bonus with Marriott Visa is nice. From the terms, it shows that you can get this 25% bonus if you are the holder of a Marriott credit card, which means that you may get this 25% bonus using other credit cards (AmEx SPG) as long as you are the holder of a Marriott Visa (another reason for me to keep my Chase Marriott Visa...).


Updated on 2017.11.4:I cannot find Amazon in my Marriott MORE app today... It was removed.

PC Financial -> Simplii Financial

Deal Link: https://www.simplii.com/en/special-offers/savings-account-bonus-interest.html
Expiry: Feb 28, 2018

I think many PC Financial clients already got the updates that PC Financial users will transition to CIBC’s new Simplii Financial mobile and online brand, with their deposits, mortgages and loans effective Nov 1, 2017. There will be no changes on the PC Financial MasterCard.

Simplii customers will be able to use CIBC’s automated teller machines for free as they did under PC Financial, as well conduct their banking online, via telephone and mobile. But Simplii Financial will not have any physical branches.

You can read the FAQ on the website: https://www.simplii.com/en/home.html

Here I want to mention a few things that are not included in the FAQ:

1) Simplii Financial will waive the Interac e-transfer fee after Nov 1, 2017

2) With the agreement between CIBC and Loblaw Company, Simplii Financial will not issue any credit cards within the next year. And Loblaw will not start any banking services for at least 12 months.

3) Between November 1, 2017 – April 13, 2018, Simplii customers will receive a newly-branded debit card to replace their current PC Financial branded card. Hope you will like the new debit card.


4) In Nov, 2017, Simplii will offer a new savings account rate promotion of 3% interest in new deposits. If you have high deposits in your current PC accounts, you should transfer it out before Nov 1, and then transfer back when the promotion starts. This rate is for new deposits into any savings account, including TFSA or RRSP savings accounts between November 1, 2017 and February 28, 2018 (no enrolment required).
