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…

(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…
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…
Why you should buy Lifemiles, and not US miles
This festive month is always full of transfer and purchase promotions. US Airways: Get a 100% bonus for buying/gifting miles You can buy up to 100,000 miles through this promotion which is extended through to December 7 as noted in the terms and conditions. Accounts need to be at least 12 days old. Similar terms…
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…
The HA Devaluation is final…. Ha, ha, ha?
Yep, Hawaiian has clarified their award chart. All travel is to London. Have a good day, guys. I would suggest getting on social media and tweeting your displeasure to @HawaiianAir, if you’re inclined.
There goes the value in Hawaiian Miles…
Two very crappy pieces of news for the redemption options in Hawaiian Miles. First is the fact that transfers to HHonors are allowed to occur if the miles have come in from a third-party. This includes AMEX, Marriott, and Point.com. This makes the transfer from Aeroplan not viable, so don’t follow this post here. From an…
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%…
