Three of Canada’s loyalty powerhouses captured eight out of the twelve categories in Canada’s Choice 2024. Rewards Canada’s annual survey of Canadians had an excellent turnout of over 35,000 votes cast over the course of two weeks which saw Aeroplan, TD Bank and Scotiabank/Scene+ dominate the rankings. Marriott Bonvoy also scored a big win.
“In general the results do show the prowess that the large loyalty programs and credit card issuers have,” said Patrick Sojka, founder of RewardsCanada.ca. “Several categories were hard fought battles that were closely contested. The overall Credit Card Rewards program saw 1st and 2nd place separated by less than 1% and the top Cash Back and Retail Loyalty Rewards Credit Card categories were both won by a margin of less than 2%”

I’ve been an Air Canada Aeroplan member for a good 40 years, and a Marriott Bonvoy member for more than 30. I find both to be excellent programs.
