The news side of things continues on the light side from last week,
this is not unusual however as the end of the month approaches! More
news should filter out late in the week and early next week as a fresh
new month starts.
News, Tips & Tricks
Over on the FFB blog we highlighted a new feature from PointsHound. The
ability to book and pay in different currencies other than USD. The
Canadian dollar is included so now you don’t have to worry about
foreign transaction fees on your credit card but I am not 100% sure on
their foreign exchange rates and whether they will be better than what
the credit cards offer including the forex fee. Either way , you should
make your next PointsHound booking in CAD as will earn an extra 500
points or miles from anyone of their 12 loyalty program partners for
doing so. More details can be found here
On Thursday Aeroplan released a very limited time offer of 5x Miles for eStore purchases. Today is the last day to take advantage of that! See here.
