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’s conversion bonus is back. The promotion is good from July 11, 2016 to August 15, 2016.
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.
You may have already read our post from last week about our flight from Ottawa (YOW) to Amsterdam (AMS). Today, I am writing about the flight between Paris, France (CDG) and Ottawa, Canada (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!
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 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.
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 a previous post, we wrote about Aeroplan’s Fixed Rate and Market Fare reward tickets. Fixed Rate tickets are exactly what their name is, a standard award redemption rate which does not change any time of the year that you book the ticket (unless there is an overall program changes). For Market Fare rates, they are based on whether you travel during high or low season, which allows you to redeem the ticket at a lower or higher rate than the fixed rate.
