Oct 9 Update: Travel Rewards in the Media, United 100K+ Transatlantic Bonus Offer and more

I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving long weekend! I know I did,
although I will not return to one high end restaurant here in Calgary after
trying it out on Sunday, but that really has nothing to do with our subject
matter!

News, Tips & Tricks

As always the first day of the week brings little or no news. Travel Rewards
are all over the media once again, Rewards Canada was featured a couple of times
last week and I have completed two more interviews today, including one from
the well versed Rob of Boomer &
Echo
fame plus I have one more scheduled for tomorrow. Keep an eye out for
all the articles on how to make the most of your loyalty programs.
