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.
[PROMOTION] Shoppers Optimum, Petro-Canada (expired on March 9, 2014)
We just wrote about the Petro- Canada points program and previously about the Shoppers Optimum program.
Not a Valentine’s Day promotion, but a great promotion leading into the weekend that runs on February 15 and 16, 2014 only.

Until May 12, 2014, you can get the Fuel Rewards Savings card for only 6,000 points (normally 12,000 points) and reload for only 5,500 points (normally 11,000 points). If you collect Petro-Points and looking to redeem your points, this is a great time to do so.

[ANALYSIS] Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
This post will be similar to the one about Delta Airlines for Canadians, but instead, we are breaking down the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan instead. It’s always great to give airlines in Canada a little competition to keep them on their…
Not a Fan of Collecting Points, but a Fan of Donating?
Often times, I meet people who think that collecting points is too much of a hassle, so getting a cash back credit card makes more sense to them. Less hassle and get back straight up cash. But then I also…
[ANALYSIS] PC Plus (Part 2)
Loblaws introduced a new and exciting PC Plus points program. The increased competition is very welcomed in the points world; however, the holes in the program are showing up in a hurry. Just a few catches to look out for:
