Good Value in the Aeroplan Award Chart – “Sweet Spots”
I often fault Aeroplan for being a very weak program because they have high fuel surcharges on certain airlines, fairly high award chart redemption prices, and semi-restrictive routing policies (but then every award program has it’s own quirks).

Are good hotel redemptions not all about points?
Generally Hyatt top-tier redemptions are very aspirational, and I don’t disagree with that. If redeemed properly, it’s very possible to afford rooms/hotels that would be out of a normal person’s price point.

(USA) 30k Signup for the AMEX SPG Credit Card!
Consider following me on Twitter? I’m lonely sometimes… 😉 There’s been a lot of speculation about the 30,000 point signup bonus for AMEX Starwood card for Americans as they’ve been banner ads on Flyertalk that have the link but redirected to a 25,000 points application.
