The changes from last time include two of TD offers ending, but they started some new ones. Furthermore, the BMO SPC card has been discontinued completely. Most offers listed below end on October 31, 2019, so if you are still thinking about the cards, there is still time.
RBC is once again offering its 20% conversion bonus to American Airlines AAdvantage miles. The bonus is applied for transfers between September 3, 2019 to September 30, 2019.
Normally, you can earn 7 miles for every 10 miles that you earn. With the 20% bonus, you can earn 8.4 miles for every 10 RBC Rewards points converted. There is a 5,000 RBC Rewards points minimum requirement transfer. But it is increments of 1 point thereafter. So 5,000 points will get you 4,200 miles (instead of 3,500).
We continue our interview series with Aaron Bergen who launched a new website last month called Flugy. Flugy’s mission is to change the way we travel through an on-demand, democratic, crowd-sourcing model for air travel. I will let Aaron share more about what this is about. You can also check out their YouTube video launch.
If you have been following us, you’ll know that one of our mantras has always been “earn and burn”. But why?
Have you ever met new people who just got started in the miles and points game, only to say: “I wish I started sooner, I missed out on so many opportunities”.
It has been almost a year since Cineplex launched its Gold program so I am overdue for a post.
The main reason why I held off writing about this is that it is currently only offered to Edmonton, Alberta residents. I was hoping that it would have expanded to more places in Canada by now, so that this post would be more relevant.
Not a whole lot of changes this month, except for an updated version of the Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Card. The most significant change was to its multiplier bonuses, which might be more attractive to some people. The downside is that the annual fee has increased, but there is still a first year fee waived offer. If you want to give the new card a try, but is as good as time as ever.
Aeroplan is celebrating its 35 year anniversary with a contest with a big time contest. There will be 10 lucky winners who can earn 3.5 million miles each.
It has been over a year since I last posted about Alaska Airlines’ Mileage Plan frequent flyer program. A few changes warrants an update.
Expiry Policy
Alaska Mileage Plan miles do not expire as long as you earn or redeem at least one mile every 24 months. If miles are deleted, you have up to 1 year to reinstate them for a fee by calling customer care.
However, as a Canadian, we do have options to keep our accounts active.
Another month, another list. This time, there is very little change from last month. There were months where I tried to highlight a featured card, or picked a top monthly card. I think that I may go with a rotating theme just to mix things up. For this month, I am going to answer a common question: “If I had to choose 1 cash back card only, which one would it be?”
I cannot believe how long it has been since I last updated this post. I have personally been loading up my American Airlines AAdvantage (AA) account, partially due to the uncertainty with Air Canada. Even though Air Canada’s loyalty does not seem up in the air as much anymore, it is still good to keep my portfolio diversified.
One AAs best value is that it is a member of Oneworld alliance, which means that you can earn and redeem miles with any of its member partners. Furthermore, if you redeem directly with American Airlines, the taxes and fees are fairly reasonable (especially compared to Aeroplan reward flight with Air Canada).
