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.

Updated Review of Carrot Rewards

ByMatt

It has been a few months since I started using Carrot Rewards, as there seems to be a demand for me to update my experience. I am not going to repeat what I already shared in my last post, but I will provide an update since.

Reward Option

Initially, I started off with collecting Aeroplan miles, but later decide to switch to Scene points. I thought it would be more useful to collect points for date night with my wife. I have my wife earning Aeroplan instead, to stay diversified. 

Remembrance Day

ByMatt

I am more than happy to continue our annual Remembrance Day tradition post, which lists out all the discounts that military personal and their families can qualify for.

Please remember check the most recent annual post to stay updated, as the benefits continually change without notice.

Aeroplan is Offering a 30% Conversion Bonus

ByMatt

Aeroplan is offering a 30% conversion bonus from hotel loyalty programs, without any limit. The offer runs from November 6, 2017 until December 11, 2017.

This is not as good as the last promotion of 35% bonus, but at least they seem to have given up that old tiering system, where the more points you transfer, the more bonus miles you get. This is definitely a better offer.

Receive 3 cents off Petro-Canada with RBC

ByMatt

Just as the last Petro-Canada and RBC promotion expires, a new one begins. Last time, there was a 2 cents off promotion.

What is the promotion?

Now, they upped the promotion to 3 cents off per litre and earn 20% more Petro-Points on qualifying purchases made at Petro-Canada. What makes this more significant, is that it is on top of any rewards that you would normally earn with your RBC credit or debit card (granted there are no rewards with debit cards, but you can get something!). To triple dip, you can still present your Petro-Canada loyalty card to earn your regular points.
