The current Air Canada flight attendant strike reminded me how valuable airline alliances are. As people are scrambling to rebook their flights with Air Canada, the Star Alliance partnerships make it a little easier to help with this challenge. So I thought this post was due for an update.
My thoughts in ONE word on the Air Canada flight attendant strike and government involvement: “WOW!” If you cannot sleep tonight due to your complicated situation, this is my way of staying up with you. You have something to read and feel free to share your thoughts and experience with us in the comment section below!

Happy Canada Day! Before we begin today’s interview, I know we have not posted in a long while (Sept 2024). Since our 10 year anniversary, we have really scaled back on posting. That being said, you may have noticed our last 3 posts were interviews only. This trend of interviews only will probably continue for a while, so if you are interested, please reach out. Unfortunately we do not have any current plans to blog consistently for a while, but who knows what the future will hold.

Jason Beales is back for this third interview with us! Today, he is going to share the new “AIR MILES’ The Moment Shop” initiative. Even though Air Miles takes its fair share of heat, I do feel that they are at least trying to take their program up another level. Thank you Jason for taking time out of busy schedule again and again to answer our questions. We really appreciate your time!
Happy Canada Day Everyone!!
At this halfway point of the year, we now publish our mid-term report card of the New Year’s Day wish list. The final report comes out on New Year’s Eve. To be fair, all wishes have the goal of being a win/win/win scenario for everyone: “loyalty company, credit card company and customer”. In some cases it is just win/win because one party is not involved; for example a credit card company who offers in-house loyalty program with the customer as the other party.
Today, I would like to share my best, one time, points earning experience ever. This event actually occurred before Pointshogger was even created. The reason I say that is because it makes it even more impressive, in hindsight, considering I have yet to be able to top it. This one time transaction can easily be duplicated even today and it’s not even a loophole, so no harm done to anyone.

Rogers Bank has really stepped up their game over the past couple of years to offer a couple of competitive credit cards. Today, we are writing a review of the Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard since the new changes come into effect on April 9, 2024 that puts it more on par with the benefits of their existing Rogers Bank Mastercard.
