US Mobile is a telecom company, but they also recently launched a new wifi-only plan for just $10 a month. The plan covers millions of wifi hotspots around the world, and from what I’ve read, is a spectacular deal. It appears that US Mobile is just selling a packaged white-label product. Other than billing, they…
3X Aeroplan Miles at Costco.ca
Costco is one of my favourite retailers. They also partner with Aeroplan to a limited extent. You can’t earn points for purchases in-store, but you can with online purchases. Until August 20th, you can earn 3x the miles by shopping online. You normally earn 1 mile per dollar spent, so with this promotion, you can earn…

Using Priority Pass at Restaurants
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how you could use your Priority Pass Membership for Restaurants in Sydney and Brisbane Airport. With a card like the American Express Platinum Card, you get a Priority Pass membership with unlimited visits with up to one accompanying guest for free.

How Much Are Points Worth?
I don’t like to value miles because the logic behind it doesn’t make sense. However, if I had to value each point, my methodology would be what I can consistently get as an alternative.

The Best Economy Class Airport Experience Ever
Greetings from Australia, where I just flew from Brisbane on Qantas and had the best economy experience at an airport ever. I’ve taken a lot of flights in the past few years, so it takes a lot to wow me. For the first time in a long while, I was absolutely shocked by how good the airport…
What Should I Write About? And, Ask Me Questions!
