Earlier in the week I had a post about how Air Canada’s Earn your Wings promotion might be very lucrative to mileage run on. Unfortunately it seems like they’ve changed the terms to prevent potential flyers to gaming the system. The TCA Badge and Canadian Olympic Badge are now only able to be earned once,…

Business Class to Europe for under 70,000 miles!
The Points Guy pointed out something today that I never knew which is really interesting. It seems like ANA Mileage Club (NH FF program) is not slapping YQ on Air Canada awards and United TATL business awards. This means it might be the cheapest way to get a business class ticket to continental Europe. As…
Aeroplan Transfer Promotion
Like the one they had in November last year, Aeroplan is having a transfer promotion (until May 13) with bonuses for exchanges from points into Aeroplan Miles. Unfortunately like before, AMEX Membership Rewards is excluded. Bonuses start at 5,000 points (20%), up to 26.67% when you transfer enough to receive 150,00 Aeroplan Miles. Here is the bonus…
Air Canada’s VERY Interesting Promo!
Like their FF program’s Star Challenge this year, AC has come up with a pretty clever promotion, called Earn Your Wings, with a pretty generous prize: 10,000,000 (that’s right, 10 million!) miles to be shared between the top 25 flyers with the most “wings.” What’s really interesting is that it’s not a pure racking up…
Lifemiles has Singapore Business Class Space!
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…
Why I don’t like Fixed Value Miles
A lot of the travel I’m interested in is based from miles. I don’t spend as much money as others, and that’s why this hobby is so gratifying for me. I can travel (and laugh) while others who are not willing to spend just a small amount of time learning about travel hacking and end…
