September 7 Update: 30,000 Asia Miles for RBC Cathay Pacific Visa is back, WestJet seat sale and tons of Miles & More miles for hotel stays

News, Tips & Tricks

The 30,000 Asia Miles sign up bonus for the RBC Cathay Pacific Visa Platinum
card has been brought back after less than two months from when it last ended. Apply for an RBC Cathay Pacific
Visa card and you’ll get 15,000 Asia Miles when your application is
accepted. On top of that, apply before October 31, 2016 and receive an
additional 15,000 Asia Miles if you spend $7,500 CAD in the first three
months using your car. Find out more here.

Air Canada is bringing back a direct non-stop route
between Vancouver and Dallas. This is great news for Star Alliance fans
and Aeroplan members! The daily flights will launch on February 5th and
will be operated with an Air Canada Express CRJ-705. (Source Air Canada)

Lucky over at One Mile at a Time posted about updates to the Marriott International
app where it mentions three programs (Marriott Rewards, Ritz-Carlton
Rewards and SPG!) and has the following wording: Link your Marriott
Rewards account to your SPG account. So it appears the first step in
integration for the Reward programs is here. While the wording is there,
you still can’t link your accounts but we are all guessing that will
come soon. What will the linking provide? We also don’t know that but it
could lead to potential elite benefit reciprocity and more between the
programs when you stay at hotels of the other brand.

In the bonus offers section check out the two new hotel bonuses for Miles & More members. Triple miles for Hilton stays which is decent but what is amazing is the 7x miles for Best Western stays! That’s 3,500 miles per stay.
