Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.

Whether we can Transfer Aventura Points to Aeroplan Miles
This is my third day in a row writing about CIBC. I should be taking a break on them by tomorrow. I have been frequently asked whether we can still transfer Aventura points to Aeroplan.
Earn 25,000 Aventura Points First Year Fee Waived
The CIBC Aventura Visa for Business is offering two promotions at the same time. They are offering at higher sign up bonus (25,000 instead of the 15,000) and a first year fee waived promotion. This credit card allows your to earn Aventura points.
Earn 25,000 Aeroplan Miles and First Year fee Waived with CIBC
CIBC really decided to up their game on this one. Last month, we saw the expiry of a 20,000 Aeroplan miles sign up bonus, first year fee waived. They ended that promotion by starting a newer and better one. Now, we are seeing 25,000 bonus Aeroplan miles and first year fee waived with the CIBC Aerogold Visa Card for Business.
Two Scotiabank Promotions (Momentum and Scene)
I have already written quite extensively about the following 2 credit cards because they frequently offer a promotion. Once again, they have extended their promotional offer. The Scotiabank Momentum Infinite Visa is offering a $100 statement credit and the Scotiabank Scene Visa Card is extending its 4,000 points sign up bonus.
Current Special Offers at Hyatts’ in Canada
There are only a handful of Hyatt hotels in Canada. There have been rumours about a new Hyatt Regency being built in Ottawa, but there is very little news about it. Either way, the current 5 locations across the country all have their own special offers, as we list them below:

Current Aeroplan Bonus Miles for Hotel Stays
For those who are looking to book a hotel that you do not plan to stay with very often, because you are more focused on finding the best price to suit your needs. As a result, you may not feel that it is worth the hassle to sign up for the hotel loyalty program. An alternative to this problem is to set your hotel program to earn Aeroplan miles instead of hotel points. This way, you can pool your points into Aeroplan, so that you can save for a reward flight quicker.
Whether the Costco Executive Membership is Worth it
First of all, the Gold Star Membership costs $55, but without any rewards. The Executive Membership costs $110 to sign up. So we are essentially talking about a $55 price difference. Gold members do not receive any sort of rewards; conversely, Executive Members get 2% cash back on all purchases (up to $750 cash back or $37,500 in annual spending).
