Are there any thoughts on when to be on the lookout for these deals? Any rhyme or reason to the timing? Sounds like a very short window.
They used to run continuously during the winter and shoulder seasons, although single rooms were a rare find in recent years. But nobody seems to know whether they will come back now that VIA Rail has changed their ticketing system.

VIA sometimes runs sales in the autumn with rooms at a substantial discount, but not as much as the Sleeper Class Deals. Sign up for a Préférence membership and join their email list.
 
Senior discount is only for the coach portion of the sleeper ticket. Does not apply to the room prices. Same is true of Veterans discount.

Military discount can be layered on almost everything. It's awesome, and definitely applies to the room. I'm eligible and have gotten some insane deals, and now that point redemption also applies to points I'm taking the Canadian, with family, for free this summer for literally half the points it would have been earlier in 2023 before the change.
