Jan 8 Update: Alaska Airlines First Bag Free in January, Link your AAdvantage & Dividend Miles accounts, Free miles for American & Virgin Atlantic

News, Tips & Tricks

Looks like another benefit, albeit not a major one, has been removed from Visa Infinite Privilege
cards (TD, RBC, CIBC et al). This time its the Hailo Car/Taxi services
that have been removed. The 12 $5 credits are no longer available. You’ll see that this has been removed from the terms on their site.

Alaska Airlines is offering the first checked bag
free to their Mileage Plan members for the month of January. If you are
flying Alaska Airlines this month out of their Western Canadian gateways
make sure you join Mileage Plan if you are not a member yet (free to
join). Find all the details here.

American Airlines AAdvantage and US Airways Dividend Miles
are now allowing you to link your accounts in both programs as the
anticipated merge nears. There is no sharing of benefits, privileges
etc. when you link your accounts, it simply makes the process easier
when time comes to amalgamate your Dividend Miles account into your
AAdvantage account. (Source One Mile at a Time)
