Previously Best Western Rewards points could not be converted to Air France KLM Flying Blue
miles but that has changed now as FB members will be able to convert
their BWR points with restrictions however. Unlike other airline
programs where transfers are only limited by the minimum point
requirement, Flying Blue members will only be able to transfer their
Best Western Rewards points into Flying Blue once per year at a 2:1
ratio with a maximum of 20,000 Rewards Points (10,000 FB miles). Full details

Aeroplan is offering another short term bonus for shopping at
Home Hardware. Members can double miles on all purchases in store or
online until July 19. Full details
