News, Tips & Tricks
Aeroplan is running a limited time promotion for their transfer miles options.
Until October 31st you can transfer miles to friends or family for 1.5 cents
per miles instead of the regular 2 cents per mile. Not a huge deal but if this
is something you have been planning to do this would be the time to do so. Nowhere
near as good as the US Airways share miles deal that came out today. With a
cost of only 1 cent per miles plus a $30 processing fee and 7.5% tax you can
essentially ‘buy’ US Airways miles for as little as 1.135 cents (transfer 50,000
miles get a 50,000 mile bonus). So if you want to transfer to a family member
or friend they will get the bonus but then you can always have them transfer
that bonus back to you to get another bonus. Each account is limited to earning
50,000 bonus miles during the promotion period.
The big news of today however was the return of the 50,000 Avios sign up bonus
for the RBC British Airways Visa Infinite Card. Read all about it here.
This was not the only card to see an increased bonus released today, the Starwood
Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express also saw an increase, not
as big as the RBC offer however. Read about the SPG offer here.
And finally the best bonus of the day if you can’t take advantage of the US
Airways share miles deal is the Radisson 1 for 1 offer which was also covered
on the Rewards
Canada blog earlier today.
