A few of my friends have picked up Project Fi, a wireless plan offered by Google. This is an innovative service because you can switch between US Cellular, T-Mobile, and Sprint networks in America. Pricing is also very reasonable. There’s only one plan, starting at $20 per month. The plan requires a minimum of 1GB of data, with…
How Do You Create a Better Credit Card?
I love Canada (Happy 150), but one thing I don’t like about us is our credit cards. We’ve got the big 5 banks. Everyone issues their average Visa Infinite or World Elite Mastercard. While the rewards are slightly different, they all are along the same vein. You earn $1 point per dollar, and that’s equal to approximately…
Copa now Bookable With Aeroplan!
Previously, Swiss, Air China, Copa, and Avianca weren’t bookable with Aeroplan, who claimed it was a technical issue. Many people thought it was just too much of a coincidence, because all other Star Alliance miles like United were able to book these carriers. With collecting Aeroplan, I recommend getting American Express charge cards given the upcoming…
Calling the Right Number
When booking your travel, there’s always a lot of calling involved. Sadly, while I wish as badly as you do that everything could be done online, it can’t. Everyone hates being on hold. There are two ways to go about this. A lot of companies have international numbers, some of which have much shorter waits than…

American Express has the best cards in Canada because of their rewards and benefits. The American Express Gold Rewards Card is currently free for the first year! You can earn up to 30,000 Membership Rewards points, convertible to Aeroplan or Avios. If you’re new to miles and points, or haven’t looked at what credit cards you…
Aeroplan Change and Cancellation Policies
What happens when you need to change or cancel an Aeroplan award? In most cases, Aeroplan change fees apply. While most agents are competent in calculating these, there are occasions where errors have been made. Now, when you’re earning Aeroplan miles, I recommend American Express cards given the upcoming Aeroplan/Air Canada contract termination. That’s because they…
Park Hyatt New York Review, West Side Suite
One of my favourite properties in North America is the Park Hyatt New York. After my stay at the Hyatt Regency Jersey City, I stayed at the Park Hyatt in Manhattan over the weekend. My suite in Jersey City was spectacular, so I was coming in with fairly high expectations. I’ve stayed once before when…
Promotions then and now…
One thing I’ve come to realize is that I’ve been here a long time. Not as long as a few others, but it’s been a while. I remember the first ticket I booked was when Aeroplan had a “sale” where you could book First Class at business class prices and Business class at economy class…
