If you didn’t know, I’m a student at the University of British Columbia. And our exam sessions are beginning. So I apologize in advance if I disappear under a mountain of books to cram for exams! See you soon, Jeff
Look for the best bonus!
I’m just joking. I don’t have affiliate links, and I didn’t get paid because you clicked the twitter link. How sad, right? Oh right, I’m also going to say I don’t hate travel bloggers. Ok, maybe some… never mind. 😉 Travel Summary has a pretty interesting post on how to pick an affiliate link for…
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…
Free Stuff! (from other people)
View from the Wing talks about how to get a free customized luggage tag from Accor on facebook. You can win a Otterbox iPhone Case from Road Warriorette. My friend has one of them and they’re pretty sturdy. Just Another Points Traveller has a huge aviation oriented giveaway! Cheers!

Happy Turkey Weekend… and Cyber Monday! Here are some posts that I thought might be interesting (for those who are too tired of reading 5 versions of the same deal): Points, Miles, and Martinis talks about how Lufthansa releases First Class space for some routes at 3pm PST (6pm PST) for those who wish to snag…
A new Lifemiles eStore Promo…
Unfortunately, it isn’t that good, although for some it may be better to rack up lifemiles for very cheap redemptions vs. getting aeropesos, especially with electronics as often they are cheaper in the US than buying through the Aeroplan eStore in Canada. Lifemiles is running a 2x the points on purchases of 50 dollars or…
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%…
