Along with the Lifemiles Sale, they are releasing Singapore Business Class Space! The routes where I see award availability are SQ 22/21 (SIN-EWR) which is the longest flight in the world and will be cancelled in November this year: I also see award space on the rest of the other routes, including SQ1/2 (SFO-HKG), no…

Etihad Airways is now a Transfer Partner of AMEX!
Before I disappoint all of you, Etihad for some reason only (as far as I know) partners with Membership Rewards Canada. They were there earlier in the year, but the transfer option hasn’t been present due to some technical difficulties, as I’ve been told. Finally, we have something that the US don’t. It is a…
Holiday Cheer and Exam Panic
If you didn’t know, I’m a student at the University of British Columbia. And our exam sessions are beginning. So I apologize in advance if I disappear under a mountain of books to cram for exams! See you soon, Jeff

Forum and Blog Buzz
Happy Turkey Weekend… and Cyber Monday! Here are some posts that I thought might be interesting (for those who are too tired of reading 5 versions of the same deal): Points, Miles, and Martinis talks about how Lufthansa releases First Class space for some routes at 3pm PST (6pm PST) for those who wish to snag…
A new Lifemiles eStore Promo…

Lifemiles is running a 2x the points on purchases of 50 dollars or…
Technical Updates…
For those returning, you may have noticed (actually you should have noticed… ;0) that there are several new updates to the interface of my site.

British Airways 25% Discount on Long-Haul Redemptions
One Mile at a Time mentions that there is a 25% off sale on Long-Haul Redemptions. Pretty simple. 25% on all redemptions that’s between Zone 4-9. That’s anything beyond continental Europe. Originally, the terms were that the discounts were only on flights departing London, but it appears that all BA Long-Haul routes have the discount.…
Transferring AMEX Points to Hilton Points at favourable ratios
As rewardscanada mentions, American Express now transfers to Hilton HHonors at a new and improved 1:1 ratio. However, it’s important to know that indirect transfers sometimes give better ratios, and this is one case. First, note that AMEX transfers to SPG (in Canada) at a 2:1 ratio: Next, if you transfer to SPG, those points can…

Amex Canada has sent me an email here: It sounds pretty straightforward. Call Amex Canada, and get a free event just for being a cardholder! Has anyone else gotten the email? The rest of the email says that there are only 15 seats, so call now. Based in Vancouver, I can’t take advantage of this,…
