Whenever miles and points take a beating, there is a lot of talk about signing up for the top cash back credit cards instead. Below, I have classified the top cash back credit cards according to the credit card company and then by annual fees (starting with lowest to highest).
On New Year’s Eve, I wrote a report to recap my 2015 wishes. Yesterday, I wrote about my 2016 wishes. Today, I will be writing a post about my 2016 predictions in the miles and points world.
As one year ends, a new one begins. I plan for this to be a continuous New Year’s tradition. On New Year’s Day, I plan to continually write about all my wishes that I would like to see during the year. On July 1st, I will write up a mid-term report. My final report comes out on New Year’s eve. So let’s get the ball rolling with what I would like to see throughout 2016.

Elite status with airlines and hotels can be very valuable to some. Usually to qualify for elite status you will see minimum requirements. For hotels, you usually have to reach a minimum number of stays, nights and/or points. For airlines, you usually need a minimum number of segments and qualifying miles.
Alaska Airlines appears to be growing in popularity in Canada, so it’s only fair to give a rundown of the airline and its loyalty program, Mileage Plan. Note that Alaska Airlines is not a member of any airline alliance, but they do have several co-share partners that you can earn miles with.
VIA Rail is offering some awesome Boxing week sales. You will need to book your trip between December 26, 2015 and January 4, 2016.
Otherwise, this post is more of a post-Boxing Day theme. Hopefully everyone came home happy with their purchases, but if you came home with some regrets, below are some tips to prepare for next year, as I did last year.
Another year, another update to my last shopping tips. With all the stores closed on Christmas Day, I usually like to provide all the shopping tips ahead of Boxing Day tomorrow. Hopefully you already read my last year’s Boxing Day post to help you prepare for this year’s shopping.
