Update: Aeroplan has posted the official details here. It is indeed until January 13. For those who still collect Aeroplan miles for domestic itineraries, there is a unannounced promotion (perhaps similar to last year’s Business Class for Economy Promotion) where one-way trips are only 50% of the miles of a round-trip, as opposed to 60-66% of the…
Award Space Updates
There are some developments in First class space that are quite nice (if you can pony up the miles). Both of them are incidentally on the A380. Singapore Suites on the A380 are now eligible for redemption through KrisFlyer miles. If you add the 15% discount for online bookings, a one way is just 74375…
SPG Bonus Beginnings
This occurs roughly every quarter, and SPG is now again sending out targeted offers (mostly to new members) for a chance to earn a hefty reward just for staying at any hotel on any eligible (points-earning) rate, which is pretty sweet and awesome. Make sure you check! You never know! To check, go to http://www.spgpromos.com/bonusbeginnings. Unfortunately…
A few more giveaways…
There are several giveaways/contests today, so I thought I would mention them. Austrian Airlines is holding a Facebook giveaway for roundtrip business class tickets to Vienna: Please vote for my story here! If I do win, I’ll promise to share the experience with everyone (by blogging about it here, of course). Lufthansa Flyer illustrates it in…

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
Look for the best bonus!
I’m just joking. I don’t have affiliate links, and I didn’t get paid because you clicked the twitter link. How sad, right? Oh right, I’m also going to say I don’t hate travel bloggers. Ok, maybe some… never mind. 😉 Travel Summary has a pretty interesting post on how to pick an affiliate link for…
The transfer from Aeroplan to US Dividend miles is back!
Strangely enough, the points.com transfer ratio from Aeroplan to US miles was 1:0.73, but for some reason, the 1:0.84 ratio is back. Transfer while the ratio stays this way!
50 Aeroplan Miles/$
It’s becoming more and more obvious that Aeroplan is becoming relatively worthless (depending on how you redeem) but for now, they’re the primary non-flying method to obtain Star Alliance awards. For those who are still willing to put in effort, I’ve noticed that there is a possible opportunity to earn 50 points per dollar spent…
Free Stuff! (from other people)
View from the Wing talks about how to get a free customized luggage tag from Accor on facebook. You can win a Otterbox iPhone Case from Road Warriorette. My friend has one of them and they’re pretty sturdy. Just Another Points Traveller has a huge aviation oriented giveaway! Cheers!
