Most of today’s information and news has come to you already in separate posts but here is a summary:

News, Tips & Tricks

Air Canada Altitude has been devalued again. See all the details in our post here. Also stay tuned for a post from an Air Canada Elite member to hear his thoughts on the changes.

BMO is updating their World Elite MasterCard, find our more here.

And not too many new bonus offers for Canadians (we had more on FFB
but three are not available to us) including the Cathay Pacific flight
offer mentioned earlier today and a pretty decent offer from Alaska
Airlines if you fly them frequently via Seattle or Portland to cities
like Los Angeles, Dallas and more. Also worth mentioning is the third
bonus offer listed below for Etihad flights as I want to note that you
don’t have to be a big corporation to join BusinessConnect and take
advantage of the bonus miles. You can even be a Sole Propietorship (or
pretend to be one and use your SIN as your business number…. but you
did not hear that here!) to join and then link your Etihad Guest account
to your BusinessConnect account to make sure you can earn up to Triple
Miles on Etihad flights in September.
