Saturday Updates (Aeroplan, United Airlines)
It has been a while since I last provided Saturday updates, so I thought I’d do one today. Today’s theme will focus on two Star Alliance members, Air Canada and United Airlines.
Air Canada (Aeroplan)
Fly Economy or First Class?
The question has been asked frequently about whether it is more worth it to redeem your hard earned miles for economy or first class. Some people would argue that they rather have more trips, so economy. Others want to be able to redeem for a First Class or Business Class treatment that they would otherwise not pay for normally
Aeroplan Transfer Bonus is back
Aeroplan’s conversion bonus is back. The promotion is good from July 11, 2016 to August 15, 2016.
Ottawa (YOW) Maple Leaf Lounge Review
The Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW) only really has one lounge (minus the Porter lounge), which is the Maple Leaf Lounge. Today, I would like to share with you my recent experience in the lounge, which turned out to be very pleasant.

Aeroplan Reward Flight Review from Paris (CDG) to Ottawa (YOW)

Just a few quick decent promotional offers to look out for during the weekend. Aeroplan is once again offering its eStore bonus, IHG Rewards’ new Pointsbreak it out but disappointing and Hilton HHonors’ offer is awesome!

Aeroplan Reward Flight Review from Ottawa (YOW) to Amsterdam (AMS)
People always wonder if Aeroplan miles are worth it. What can we do with them? Today, I am going to share one of my reward redemptions with you. Recently, my wife and I took a trip from Ottawa, Canada (YOW) to Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS) on an Aeroplan fixed rate reward flight. After coming back from the trip, I would like to share my reward redemption experience with you, as it took an interesting turn along the way.

CIBC is offering a 50,000 sign up bonus Aeroplan miles promotion with its Aerogold Visa Infinite Privilege Card. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the credit card
Aeroplan Conversion Bonus (March 14, 2016 – April 18, 2016)
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.

[AIRLINE] Expiration Policies (updated on February 20, 2016)
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.
