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…
(Limited?) Discount One-Ways on Aeroplan!
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…
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…
Aeroplan Transfer Promotion
So, Aeroplan releases its typical seasonal transfer bonuses (this one is valid until December 17), with bonuses around the usual levels: What sucks this time around, is that AMEX is not included. The only redemption that I see worthwhile then, are: CIBC Aventura -> Aeroplan: Good to use with the recent signup bonus and 50%…
2x on all Retail Purchases … on Sunday November 24
Aeroplan/CIBC has an interesting promotion where cardholders of CIBC Aeroplan Credit Cards earn 2x points on all retail purchases, on one day only: November 24. What this means is you can get 2x Aeroplan per dollar spent. If you’re shopping online you can combine this with the online offer of up to 4x points per…
Do not use Aeroplan to book hotels + How to transfer AMEX to Hilton (Updated)
Update: Note that the T&C do prohibit miles from being transferred straight out of a third party program, but there have been multiple instances where it has been possible. Consider using the HA toolbar to rack up a few non third-party miles. YMMV. Update 2: Officially confirmed that transfers from third-parties NOT POSSIBLE: check…
Looks like another decent value for Aeroplan just evaporated…
Points.com is a very interesting site. Essentially, it allows you to either trade one type of miles (e.g. AA) to another type (e.g. Aeroplan) at either a horrible ratio or for 2 cents per mile, if you trade with other people at a 1:1 ratio. What further is interesting is that Aeroplan was a very…
