Giveaway for a Canadian PointsU Ticket!
As you already know, Canadian Points University is happening in exactly ONE WEEK! A few of our Canadian blogging friends have been giving away a free ticket to the conference on January 16th, so now it is our turn to give away ours. Simply shoot us a comment at the bottom of this post, or on our Facebook page and tell us What you want to learn from attending PointsU and we will randomly select a winner with a free ticket to the event! If you are posting a comment below, don’t forget to include an actual email in the form where we can reach you should you be the winner. For Facebook participations, please leave a comment on this post on our news feed.
Why should you attend PointsU?
If you are an avid Canadian pointshogger and constantly follow blog posts on ways to maximize your points, you probably know first hand that there aren’t many content on reward points and credit cards cater to the Canadian market compare to our friends down South, let alone trying to find something specific to your particular needs. PointsU will be a series of speaking engagements that caters to a wide range of pointshoggers from novice to expert level. Whether you are just starting out trying to get into the points game, or you know it very well and want to see what else you possibly DON’T know, come to the event and see what it is all about. You will also get to meet many of the Canadian bloggers at once! It is a rare opportunity for you to ask all your questions with each of us responding to you on the spot =)
Besides, if you win a free ticket, you have very little reason not to check us out ;). However, like our friend from Canadian Kilometers have mentioned, we prefer to give away our ticket to someone who will actually attend the event. If you have been chosen, please let us know if you reside in Metro Vancouver, or show us proof that you are making travel plans to attend PointsU at Sheraton Wall Centre. This giveaway will run over the weekend with the cut-off deadline of midnight on Monday, January 11th.
If you aren’t chosen, you can still purchase a ticket with our code POINTSHOGGER20 to get a discount!
Good luck and we hope to see you there!
Hey guys. I would love this opportunity. I live in Victoria on Vancouver island and would definitely attend. I am an avid enthusiast and do everything I can to help share the information I have with others. I run a free Facebook group called Canadian Travel Hacking and love to be able to offer advice for people asking questions. As you mentioned though, I don’t know what I don’t know! There is lots about aeroplan I am oblivious too and I would also just love to be on the forefront to meet other points travellers and chat about the opportunities. Thanksfor holding this promotion. Please keep up the awesome work you guys are doing!
Hey guys, this event screams my name. I read BoardingArea blog posts religiously everyday as part of my morning routine. I started collecting points 2 years ago when I realized I couldn’t afford to travel while finishing my degree. Since I’ve started, via CC sign up bonuses and extremely lucrative and secret MS, I have accumulated just over 800K in points. I would love to attend this event and learn how I can even further my points balance.
Would love to attend the event. Just moved to Calgary months ago and my wife and I have been in Canada a little over 2 years now. I’m from the U.S. so I’m very familiar with credit cards and points from the states. Would like to see what Canadians feel are the best travel programs here and how to maximize them since no doubt points are tougher to come by in Canada. I have flown with 8 different airlines via long haul international flights and have flown Cathay Pacific First and Singapore Suites. Most expensive hotel we’ve stayed at is Conrad Koh Samui and we are going to Bora Bora in March, staying at InterContinental with overwater bungalow for 6 nights all on points!
Would love to attend and I live within walking distance of the Sheraton Wall Centre, so no problem in attending.
I need to learn more about earning points without racking up massive debts on credit cards to earn points–I’m hoping there are some solid points and tips from your speakers–and how to avoid having debt that needs to be covered every month on the bonus-points for credit cards.
PS Matt Mclean above does an amazing job of letting people know about terrific flight deals!
I want to learn how to travel the world for free as a Canadian 🙂
I’m from Vancouver and would love to attend this event to plan my 1 year around the world to discover the not so well known places.
Ooh, I’m local to the Vancouver area and would love to go…what a great learning opportunitly!
And I want to learn about maximizing my use of travel points…I’m good, but not as good as I could be!
Thanks everyone for participating in our giveaway! It’s been a blast reading everyone’s pointshogging stories and desire to attend PointsU 2016. We will randomly select and notify our winner in the next 24 hours. Best of luck! =D
