The Scotia Passport Visa Infinite Card has been added to Rewards Canada’s Comparison Charts.You can now find the card on the following charts:
- Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: All Credit Cards Comparison
- Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Travel Points Credit Cards Comparison
You’ll notice we added in a lot more card details for the card on the
chart – this is a new step for us on these 14 year old charts that need
some revamping! Before lots of the benefits were listed as Yes or No
but now we provide as much detail on items such as ‘4 hours’ for flight
delay, primary for ‘CDW’ coverage and more! Check it out and watch for
the other cards on the charts to be updated with this greater detail!
The card has also been added to our No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Card feature.
As we mentioned back in January, changes were coming the Hilton Honors program. We now know, thanks to an email from Hilton’s PR team, Charles T. forwarding his email to us and us even getting the Honors email that the changes will kick in on April 2. I recommend reading our article about all the changes
so that you know what’s going but the main points are that Points+Miles
is gone (so is Points+Points) however Gold and Diamond elite members
will earn more for their stays now, elite nights will rollover for Gold
and Diamond members and more as summarized here:
- Easier Way to Earn Points: It’s now even easier to earn Points on
hotel stays when booking direct! Elite tier bonuses will increase for
Silver (20%), Gold (80%) and Diamond (100%) members. - Milestone Bonuses: Members will earn 10,000 Bonus Points on every
10th night, once reaching at least 40 nights in a calendar year. It’s
not a limited time offer, no registration is required and there is no
cap— the more members stay at Hilton, the more Points they earn. - Elite Rollover Nights: Every night counts now that Silver, Gold
and Diamond members can roll over nights. For example, if you reach
Silver after staying 10 nights, but end the calendar year with 30
nights, 20 will roll over – giving you a jump-start on Gold status in
the next year. - Elite Status Gifting: Members can now gift Gold status to their
favorite travel partner when they stay 60 or more nights in a calendar
year (and that gift turns to Diamond if a member stays more than 100
nights in a year).
As if the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program
couldn’t get any better but it just did, in particular for those living
around Toronto and Vancouver. They announced a new partnership with Aer
Lingus, Ireland’s national airline. Soon you will be able to earn and
redeem Mileage Plan miles for flights on Aer Lingus who just happen to
fly to Toronto and now have announced flights to Seattle. (Source Alaska Airlines)
Remember also that British Airways’ Executive Club is a great option for the Toronto-Dublin flight!
