Aug 29 Update: Amex Air Miles Platinum sign up bonus increased, VIA Rail Preference Bonuses, Fall Best Western promo released

http://www.americanexpress.com/canada/en/am_dual_RTP_515_en.shtml?&cpid=100148755Here is our last update for August!

News, Tips & Tricks

Two of the American Express Air Miles cards were
updated today. The American Express Air Miles Platinum has had its sign
up bonus increased to 1,500 miles while the Air Miles Reserve has
dropped from 2,500 to 1,700. Both cards still have the same spend
requirements to earn those bonuses. Of course the Air Miles Platinum
comes first year free so those 1,500 Miles are essentially ‘free miles’
as long as you use the card on spend that you were going to complete
anyways. See the bonus offer section for more details.

The latest set of Air France KLM Flying Blue Promo
Awards are out but once again there are no offerings from Canada. Their
are options out of Detroit and New York which are possibilites for those
of you in Ontario/Quebec. You could drive to Detroit or fly to NYC on a
9,000 Avios British Airways Executive Club ticket (see here for more details on that latter
option
)
