Aeroplan has a strong relationship with Costco in Canada, that allows you to earn bonus miles.
First of all, there is a current promotion where referring a friend to sign up for a Costco membership can both earn bonus Aeroplan miles. This offer runs until August 31, 2018:
It has been a year since I last provided an update, a few changes kicked (namely the addition of the American Express Business Platinum card) in that it is due for an update. Priority Pass continues to increase their inventory, now over 1,000 lounges worldwide.
It has been just over a year since I last updated this post. A few changes to the industry means this post is due for an update. Usually I update this post ahead of Valentine’s Day, but hey, we eat all year round. Furthermore, this has been a long winter in some parts of the country, so spring and summer cannot come soon enough, where we might be more willing to go out. So below is a list of the top credit cards to use at restaurants if you want to prepare for warmer weather ahead of time.
RBC Rewards is once again offering a 15% transfer bonus to WestJet between February 1, 2018 and February 28, 2018, so we are already halfway through the promotion. We have seen 25% transfer bonuses before, but I highly doubt we will see those generous days any time soon. For WestJet, 15% seems to be the bonus for the foreseeable future. At this point, I am just glad that there is even a bonus offer.
Very little has changed over the last 2 months as the current cash back offers are still good for a while.
Though keep in mind that we also have a Top Cash Back Credit Cards page. The difference is that the main page focuses on any (permanent or temporary offers), while this post focuses on temporary offers only.
Note that we also have two other types of recent monthly lists going on:
Marriott is making quite a few hotel category changes this year. There are 1,083 hotels increasing in categories and 248 hotels dropping. The new changes come into effect on March 6, 2018.
In Canada, there are 46 hotels increasing and 17 decreasing. If you are planning any upcoming trips, you will want to take a closer look at which hotels are being affected to help determine when to make your reservation, whether before or after March 6, 2018.
It is that time of the year when most hotel chains readjust their categories. Some hotels go up, some goes down. Today’s post is the changes that Starwood Preferred Guest is doing. There are 276 hotels that are affected, of which 13 are increasing by at least 1 category in Canada, while 2 are decreasing. This is quite surprising to me since the Canadian dollar has been fairly week the past year.
Winter may feel cold for some of us in Canada. Some people enjoy it, some people cannot wait till the spring/summer time. Either way, Valentine’s Day is deep into winter, which can range from being a dreaded time or one of the most fun day of the year. Either way, if you have not yet figured out what you are doing yet, Marriott has some bonus promotion options if you are making some online purchases.
If you are looking to make purchases on Marriott’s shopping portal, Marriott Rewards More, there are two bonus offers to watch for:
Earn 1,000 bonus points after completing the first purchase (minimum of $25USD, $25CAD, or £25GBP)
Earn 25% bonus points when using your co-branded Marriott Rewards credit card
In Canada, after Aeroplan, I would say, British Airways’ Executive Club Avios are the easiest miles to collect without flying. Canadian financial institutions offer a wide range of options to earn Avios. Personally I have an Executive Club account and I rack up most of my Avois through transfer partners and taking advantage of transfer bonuses (see below).
