Decorations for the house, getting all dressed up, hosting parties, giving gifts…sounds like I’m talking about Christmas, right? Wrong! Canadians are spending more and more time and money on that other big holiday, Halloween. In 2009, US consumers spent $5.8 billion on Halloween, and we love our October 31 celebrations in these parts too. That same year, Canadians spent over $331 on Halloween candy alone according to Statistics Canada.
With Halloween quickly approaching, these stats are so timely and relevant. The folks at American Express also recently provided us with a friendly reminder on tips to maximize rewards this Halloween
Use your American Express AIR MILES Card alongside your AIR MILES Collector Card at participating Sponsors and earn reward miles twice. Candy from Rexall, a pumpkin from Metro, craft supplies for the kids’ holiday décor at Michael’s… and the list goes on. Visit www.americanexpress.ca/airmilessponsorsfor a full list of places to shop and earn reward miles faster!
Of course American Express AIR MILES Cards are the fastest way to earn reward miles. This fall, American Express is offering great bonus offers to Amex AIR MILES Cardmembers. Enroll and spend $50 or more on your Amex AIR MILES Card from October 24-31, 2013 at select retailers and you can earn 100 Bonus AIR MILES reward miles. Find out more ‘here’ . Cardmembers also get access to exclusive benefits like Front Of The Line… access to some of the hottest concerts, shows and events often before they’re available to the general public!
Finally, there are all sorts of great ways to collect bonus reward miles, especially around the Halloween season. For example, earn 25 Bonus reward miles when you spend $75 at Old Navy (have you seen their owl costume for toddlers? Whoo-ooo could resist?)
