Last year HSBC introduced their World Elite Mastercard to the
Canadian public. Prior to the launch of this card their cards were
almost exclusive to their banking customers only but they realized the
money they could make by making a more accessible product. When the card
did launch it had a pretty amazing sign up offer of 75,000 points and
first year free. Unfortunately that offer has been long gone but they do
have another FYF offer right now if you do want to try the card. It currently comes with a 30,000 point welcome bonus on top of the FYF. Find out more here. You can also read our review of the card here to find out more about what the card offers.
If you are travelling to or via Seattle over the next couple of weeks and were planning on visiting Amex’s Centurion Lounge thanks to the Platinum Card
you’ll have to look for another lounge! The lounge will be temporarily
closed for renovations starting on March 11. FYI Priority Pass does have
access to two lounges at SEA. (Source American Express)
Speaking of Priority Pass – Members
now have access to Gameway video game lounges at Dallas/Ft. Worth
Airport. Members get 2 hours of access, two snacks and one drink.

Over on my global site FFB, I point out that there
seems to be a new king of airline programs to credit your car rentals to
– as good as Aeroplan, British Airways and other programs have been and
still are to credit car rentals to I believe Avianca LifeMiles
trumps them all right now with their offers. I know a lot of you buy
LifeMiles during their frequent bonus promotions and here you have
another way to add miles to those accounts. Read my article here
