Aeroplan is once again offering its conversion bonus promotion. This time around, they are offering its highest level of bonus ever. What I like most about this promotion is that there is an indication from Aeroplan that they are trying to improve their program by offering something more competitive than before. This is the least they could do since their devaluations to their award chart.
You probably see a lot of advertisement about the Esso Extra program. Lots of hype goes into the Esso Privileges card. However, there is actually a pretty net way of converting your Esso Extra points into airline miles and get more value. It requires a 2 step process though.
TD Canada Trust is offering a slew of higher than normal Aeroplan sign up bonuses. This is a very competitive move by TD, which is actually very impressive.
“Fifth freedom” flights are actually a very interested concept. It is the right for an airline to fly between 2 foreign countries on a flight originating or ending in one’s own country. For example, Air China is an airline that originates from China. However, there is a route that flies between Montreal and Havana. All it is really doing is that it flies from Havana to Beijing, but it makes a stop in Montreal.
I think that we are due for an update for airline expiration policies, as a few of them have changed recently. I have only listed frequent flyer programs that have a direct way of earning miles with them in Canada. You can always keep these accounts active with co-share or alliance member partners.
In today’s post, we are going to introduce Air Transat, a Canadian airline based in Montreal, Quebec. Its major hub is Montreal-Pierre Elliot Trudeau International Airport.
The British Airways loyalty program called the Executive Club has some very strong ties to Canada. What I mean by this is that as a Canadian, you have a lot of different options to earn Executive Club Avios.
Royal Bank of Canada’s Avion (or RBC Rewards) program is once again offering a 25% transfer bonus to WestJet Rewards. In the past, we have seen this promotion fluctuate with either a 20% or 25% bonus for the transfer. The past few times have been 20%, so I’m glad to see the 25% back.
When we’re out collecting those Aeroplan miles, it sounds great when we redeemed enough for a free flight across the world. However, this isn’t always the case. A free ticket definitely sounds like a great rewards, but not if those taxes and surcharges end up costing you half a ticket if you were to purchase it.
Aeroplan and American Express have teamed up to offer 4 co-branded charged cards. They do not offer any credit cards cards, no any business version of the cards. Below is a list of changes and sign up bonus Aeroplan promotions to look out for.
