Jan 7 Update: Interview request on award ticket fuel surcharges, American & US Airways reciprocity starts today, Club Carlson car rental bonuses

Here is what Tuesday brings forth in the travel rewards world:

News, Tips & Tricks

We have been contacted to see if any of our readers
are willing to share a story(ies) about wanting to redeem miles for
International flights where the redemption was awash with just buying
the ticket outright because of the fuel surcharges/fees tacked onto the
award ticket. If you are interested in being interviewed please send me
an email at info@rewardscanada.ca

American and US Airways officially started their
frequent flyer reciprocity today. This means AAdvantage members can now
earn and redeem AAdvantage miles for US Airways flights and Dividend
Miles can do the same for American Airlines flights. More details can be
found here.
