WestJet Rewards is offering an interested fast track option that will allow you to qualify for flight benefits received by its Silver or Gold elite status members. If you qualify now, you will receive the benefits until December 31, 2017. You will have to book all your flights between October 3, 2016 and December 18, 2016.
The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite is once again offering its 50,000 sign up bonus Avios upon approval. It seems that the trend is that this promotion is offered once every 6 months or so.
Aeroplan is offering a few shopping portal promotions. This is a great way to accumulate miles more quickly. I would not go out of my way to shop, just to accrue bonus miles, but if you happen to need to shop for something anyway, then it’s worth putting in some energy towards maximizing the potential rewards that you can earn.
CIBC is offering something called the Air Canada AConversion Visa Prepaid Card. A prepaid card is a card where you can use your credit card to pre-load the card with a specific amount of funds to be used at a later date. You can use this like a credit card (wherever accepted). The main difference between is that instead of a credit limit, where you use the limit first, and then pay off the balance when it is due, you have to preload the card with money, and you can only use what is loaded into the card. There is no credit limit.
I was recently asked on TV what my favourite loyalty program was. I realize that I did not give a direct answer. In my About Us section, I do list a few current favourite programs, such as Aeroplan, American Express Membership Rewards, Best Western Rewards, RBC Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest.
Aeroplan’s conversion bonus is back. The promotion is good from July 11, 2016 to August 15, 2016.
There are several WestJet bonus offers for several routes to the United States. Below are the details of each promotional. Personally, I feel that they are some fairly decent offers available just in time for the summer and fall travels.
Even with the major devaluation hit on Alaska Airlines’ loyalty program, Mileage Plan, these miles are still very valuable to redeem for flights to Asia. Unfortunately, it is not easy to earn Mileage Plan miles.
The 30% RBC conversion bonus to British Airways Avios is back. Not as the 50% that has been offered in the past, but those days may be long gone at this point.
This has been a frequently asked questions, which I have answered before, but I thought I’d give an update. The question is whether Aventura accounts holders are still permitted to transfer their points to Aeroplan miles. The short answer is yes, so long as you opened your Aventura Rewards account prior to October 1, 2013.
