News, Tips & Tricks

Aeroplan is changing the mileage earned for flying on Shenzen

for a few. Find out more here.

Also if you were someone who redeemed Aeroplan miles
for hotel stays please note that as of Feb 1. you can no longer redeem
for Delta Hotels since that brand is now fully integrated with Marriott
Rewards (Source: Aeroplan)

You can now use your La Quinta Returns points to redeem
for stays at thousands of hotels Worldwide via PointsHound. Not huge
news for us since there are only 2 LQ’s in Canada but maybe some of you
road warriors frequenting the U.S. have built up balances with LQ
Returns where you can make use of this new redemption option (Source FrequentFlyerBonuses.com)

And finally even though Virgin America doesn’t fly to Canada anymore I’m sure some of you are members of their Elevate program from when they did or by using them for domestic flights in the U.S.. Good news is that you can earn points for joining the program or referring friends to the program. See all the details in the bonus offers section below
