I stumbled on Points and Pixie Dust’s Feecation post, which is quite an interesting program for reimbursing travel fees. You can get up to $10 for Airport, Hotel, Car, and Wi-Fi fees but the monthly fee is only $16.97 with first month free trial. If you don’t have elite statuses and do incur these incidental fees then…
End of the Month Mile Promotions (April)
Today is the last day to purchase Avianca Lifemiles at a 100% bonus (2×1). They run the  promotion (either transfer or purchase) every other month, so it should be back in June/July if you haven’t signed up for an account yet. Today is also the last day to convert hotel points to US Airways Dividend…
April 29 – Hotel Adjustments, Contests
Hilton AXON devaluation which are quite bad. I don’t hold very many Hilton Points so no separate post on it 🙂 Check themrpickles for details. Consensus is that award levels are roughly in line with the new regular prices and given the devaluations honestly not a great value. Sometimes the AXON redemption levels are even…
Fuel Surcharges on Aeroplan Award Tickets
Aeroplan as many well know implemented fuel surcharges (YQ) a year or so back, which definitely catapulted them into one of the top programs to a mediocre ones. Their award chart is not necessarily stellar either, so it simply sucks the happiness out of your redemption, when you redeem for a RTW only to find $800…
April 26 Update – AC/EY Agreement, Credit Cards, Routehappy
Etihad and Air Canada signed an agreement to codeshare services with frequent flyer reciprocity. I guess that’s why Canadians now get Visa on Arrival back and that means I better plan my trip on Emirates First! The agreement will also allow frequent flyer mileage accrual on codeshare flights by members of Etihad Guest and Aeroplan…
Swiss Business Class Space Available in Advance!
The LH Group has been notorious for restricting premium class (especially first class space) to other Star Alliance partner airlines. I was doing a few award searches and I was definitely pleasantly surprised in finding that LX (like ANA in the past) is releasing business class space in the low season, usually February weekdays to…
April 25 – Gangnam Style, Hyatt, US 100% Promo?
Rewards Canada says that a source tells him that there will be a 100% bonus that will return in May. Colour me excited! Air France is updating their award charts and fuel surcharges. It’s okay and definitely positive for those who redeem in economy. Loyalty Lobby has details. There is a 15% discount code for AC…
April 24 Summary – Double Take, Change Fees, Targeted RBC Promo?
SPG Double Take Promo now open for registration here. Read details from Loyalty Traveller here. US Airways raises change fees. Boohoo 🙁 (Canada) I stumbled upon a targeted RBC promotion for current promo for upgrading to a RBC Infinite Avion if you have have an RBC Rewards Gold Visa. Apparently people who received a letter…
April 23 Summary – AA Elite Awards, Lifemiles Targeted Offer
Rewards Canada talks about a targeted Avianca Lifemiles Offer about 2000 bonus miles with a purchase of 3000 miles or more. That’s not bad if you purchase 3000 miles. That means a 167% bonus! Unfortunately I didn’t get the offer (I think because I already bought in this promo). Check your email! Some pretty awesome…
April 22 Summary – 35% Avios Bonus, 1000 Free HHonors Points, USA Entry Fee!
A lot of posts on promotions out today so I’ve grouped them here: There is a 35% transfer promo to British Airways Avios for American MR cardholders. We Canadians had a 50% one last month! But now those 4500 miles transborder flights for now only 3334! Â More details here, here, here, and basically every other…
