The start of the month means lots of news, bonuses, new credit card offers and more!
News, Tips & Tricks
Even though we technically took yesterday and the weekend off
we still posted about some new credit card sign up offers and the
return, albeit smaller, of the RBC Rewards to British Airways transfer
bonus. You can find all that news in the Posts since our last update section!
If you credit British Airways or Iberia flights to American AAdvantage
be prepared to earn less miles in 2016! As of February 1st there will
be new AAdvantage mileage earning rates for flying on these two airlines
and unless you are flying in Business Class, First Class or full fare
premium economy you are going to earn less miles. The biggest hits are
to the lower end of the economy class spectrum of course with Discount
Economy going to 50% miles from 100% and Deep Discount dropping to 25%
from 100%!! Find out more about the British Airways changes here and Iberia changes here. (Source One Mile at a Time)
Starwood Preferred Guest has launched member’s only
pricing (up to a 10% discount) for bookings made via Starwood. The
discount is interesting and may be worthwhile for those who are not
CAA/AAA members. If you are a CAA/AAA member you should be able to get a
better discount with more favourable cancellation terms. Find out more here.
Croatia Airlines has expanded their code sharing with
Air Canada. You will now find Croatia Airlines flight numbers on many of
AC’s transatlantic routes. Croatia Airlines is a Miles & More
member airline (Lufthansa’s Frequent Flyer Program) Since they are a
Miles & More airline, Croatia Airlines does not have their own page
on Rewards Canada as you can find all Miles & More offers on our M&M page. (Source Airlineroute.net)
