June 23 Update: Official statement from RBC about Esso partnership, Double Miles on TAP's Toronto-Lisbon route + more!

News, Tips & Tricks
RBC provided us an official statement regarding their partnership with ESSO:

"We recognize the long partnership we have shared with Esso. During this time, we will be working with our valued clients who use the RBC Esso Visa card to ensure a smooth transition. In the meantime, clients can continue to use their RBC Esso Visa co-branded products as they normally would."

We missed this promotion earlier this month but perhaps someone can still make use of it over the next week. TAP Portugal is offering Double Victoria Miles on their new Toronto-Lisbon route. The bonus started when the route started on June 10 and runs until the 30th. It doesn't appear you need to register so if you are already booked and have flown or will fly the route in the next week you should get the bonus. Find out more here.

June 22 Update: Update on the RBC/Esso news, 5,000 miles for joining Mileage Plan and completing 1st flight + more!

News, Tips & Tricks
Yesterday we removed the post covering the RBC/Esso news that is making the rounds now. Apparently Esso was not supposed to have sent out an email to its members yet and there is some incorrect information in it. RBC told us they'll advise us when everything is nailed down so that we can pass along the info.

Japan Airlines is going to offer free Wi-Fi on most of their domestic flights within Japan. Would be nice if Air Canada and WestJet did the same? (Source Business Traveller)

Alaska Airlines has brought back or rather extended the offer of 5,000 Bonus Miles when you join Mileage Plan and complete your first flight. That 5,000 miles is enough for an award ticket between Alberta/B.C. and Seattle. See the bonus offers section below for details.
