Here are a few of the best strategies to rack up the most points with the american express gold rewards card: This assumes that you are using the amex points to convert into aeroplan points at a ration of 1:1 (which is absolutely the best thing to do with them)
- Buy gift cards at shoppers drugmart
- works especially well if you buy giftcards for places that don’t take amex
- works well for any place that doesn’t give you double points (as shoppers does give you double points)
- you also get to collect shoppers optimum points
- Swipe your aeroplan card before pumping gas at esso
- get 2 amex points for ever $1 spent, plus 1 aeroplan for every $3 spent
- Buy Gift Cards at Canadian Tire (only good if you buy a lot of stuff at canadian tire..)
- Cash back in Canadian tire money, plus 1 amex point per $1 spent
