Aeroplan, until April 27th, is running a transfer bonus promotion. Historically, these run twice a year, with the last two being in November 2014 and May 2014. The bonus is for miles and points from other programs transferred into the Aeroplan program. Unfortunately, American Express points such as those you can earn from the American Express Business…
Aeroplan Premium Economy redemptions have been added to the award chart. Since Air Canada introduced rouge and premium economy, there has never been a way to use Aeroplan miles for premium economy redemptions until today. The premium economy redemptions are sandwiched between the economy and business class prices. Thankfully, there are no adjustments to any of…
Note that points.com no longer allows Aeroplan to US Airways transfers. Aeroplan is the primary currency for most Canadians. Some redemptions are better deals than others, so I’d like to highlight some of my favourites. I’ll be covering three Aeroplan flight awards in this post, all of which can avoid fuel surcharges.

Today, British Airways released a few updates to their frequent flyer program. The last time they changed their program was over three years ago, back in 2011. With most frequent flyer programs devaluing every few years, I should have known BA was pretty ripe for some changes. British Airways is modifying their scheme for earnings…

I’m in Shanghai right now, right in the middle of my humongous December trip. Apologies to not having to much content these past few days (thanks to exams), but thankfully I have a brief respite until the next semester starts in January. I decided to take a spontaneous trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles…
Disclaimer: Please be aware that offers for credit cards referenced in this post may have changed since the time of publication. Good morning from Taipei! I’ll be in Asia for just a short trip, before heading back to Vancouver. Unfortunately, that’ll mean I’ll miss Black Friday in the Americas, but that means I’ll be able…
It’s taken me a while (in my defence, as the weather cooled Resolute, Nunavut seemed less and less enticing), but finally, we come to probably the most important (or second most, after Canadian North) domestic Aeroplan partner – First Air. I talked about how they and Canadian North are intending to merge, but in the…
This is a continuation of my flights from Vancouver to Melbourne via Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Singapore on Singapore First and Suites Class. To see how I booked my flights, see my planning and booking post. You can see the other reviews from this trip in the links below. Plaza Premium Lounge Vancouver Transborder Air Canada…
Today, I received a strange email from American Express Canada about a weird redemption “I made” on a Gold Rewards Card account I manage. At first I thought it was spam or my account got hacked, but looking at it more closely, I was a bit puzzled. I’d never seen this type of redemption with…
