LoungeBuddy is a pretty cool app that will show you, based on your elite statuses, credit cards, and airline ticket, the lounges you’re able to access at any airport. As I mentioned in a post just a few days ago, they are currently offering $10 off your first lounge booking through the app if you use…
Thoughts on my credit card churn…
It’s been quite a while since I’ve written about churning credit cards. For a refresher, see my post on credit cards and churning, which I wrote a few months ago. Credit cards are one of the easiest ways to get free travel in Canada, since issuers just hand out tens of thousands of points for…
Why You Must Fly Lufthansa First Class!
I flew Lufthansa First Class on their the Munich to San Francisco flight a few weeks ago, and it was one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. It seems almost like Lufthansa has upped their product even more after United made it harder for Americans to freeload to redeem for First Class. For this flight,…
An Alternative to the ANA Tool
My favourite site to look for Star Alliance award space used to be ANA. It was the most comprehensive tool and let you see 7 days of direct availability on flights, something really useful if you knew the particular flights you had in mind. However, with the recent ANA award chart changes as well as…
Loungebuddy $10 Promotion off First Booking
Last year, I wrote about Loungebuddy and partnered with them to host a giveaway. Similar to what I said in my original post, I think Loungebuddy is a great addition to your phone. It’s the only app that lists all the lounges at airports and determines what access you have given your flight details and any…

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 Added
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…
Best Aeroplan Flight Redemptions
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. This posts lists…
Obtain your Canadian Credit Score for Free!
I’m sure most readers are aware of the American credit card market is much hotter than in Canada, among other things. I wrote about that in my basics on credit card churning, and also the difference between the Canadian and American credit card market. Your credit is one of the most important parts of being…
