I previously provided an analysis on two of the TD Aeroplan credit cards, the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card and TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card. This is a reminder that TD is offering a 2‑for‑1 reward flight offer if you sign up for one of the following credit cards before May 9, 2014:
Air Canada is celebrating a few gold medals won by Canadians at the current 2014 Sochi Olympic Games. In celebration of the women’s bobsled gold medal win, you can also get 20% flights from anywhere in Canada to Beijing and…
It has been well-documented that people have trouble redeeming their Aeroplan points and getting a fair value. I wrote a post about how to maximize your Aeroplan points.

This is the continuation of my series on Air Canada Elite status. I previously wrote about the Prestige 25K and Elite 35K statuses. Today, I will focus on the next level, which is the Elite 50K status.
We just wrote about the Petro- Canada points program and previously about the Shoppers Optimum program.
