PointsU 1 Week Away!

It’s only a week away and I’m feeling both excited and nervous. Excited because I’ll be seeing everyone who are also in the Points and Miles Game and hoping you will also be sharing your stories with me. Nervous because I will be the only female speaker at the Canadian Points University conference in Toronto next week.

Although loyalty programs have always been around in Canada, The Points and Miles game has always seemed more popular with our fellow neighbours down South. It will be great to see how everyone copes with our fewer options available in Canada.

If you don’t already know, I will be taking over the Credit Card topic and sharing with you the different types of credit cards, how to maximize your benefits with them and also how credit score works.

As for fellow speakers, here’s what we got coming at you:

• Dave and Deb from theplantd.com will be opening up the conference as our keynote speakers.
• Avery from Don’t Call the Airline will be speaking about the kinds of U.S. credit cards which are available for Canadians.
• Jeff from Rewards Canada will be our keynote speaker for the lunch hour.
• Jeff from Canadian Kilometers will be speaking to us on how to maximize your redemptions for both hotel and air travel.
• Stephen from How to Save Money will be covering the topic of points programs for the non travel hacker.
• Ari from Award Magic will be speaking about how to redeem a more complex award.
• Matt from A Whistle and A Light and Jayce from pointsnerd.ca will be speaking to us on how to maximize redemption with less.
