April 1 Update: Aeroplan extends cancellation policy to April 30, Tokyo Olympic games dates set for 2021, Alaska & American expand reciprocal mileage earning

Rewards Canada Team Uncategorized

Aeroplan announced last night an extension to their
great refund and cancellation policy until April 30. This policy allows
you to cancel Aeroplan tickets and receive all the miles back along with
a complete refund of any taxes/fees paid. Learn more here.

The Tokyo Olympic games now have set dates for
2021. The games will take place from July 23 to August 8. With it being
over a year away you can start setting your sights on attending and
planning your travel. This goes for those who already have tickets or
those who now see the opportunity of attending. Airlines don’t have
schedules yet for that time nor are hotels bookable yet but you can
start researching what event or events you may want to attend and figure
out which hotel etc. would be best for you. Most hotel chains let you
book a year out so you can start looking this July and airlnes typically
are just under a year so early August would be the time to start
looking. Think JAL with Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles! (Source IOC)

Speaking of Japan however – they have now put in restrictions that
ban Canadians from entering the country if you have been in Canada or
any one of another 70+ countries. This ban goes into effect on April 3
(well April 2 our time) Learn more here. (HT Running with Miles)

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and American Airlines AAdvantage
expanded their reciprocal mileage earning as of today. Mileage Plan
members can now earn miles (both redeemable & elite qualifying) on
all American Airlines flights while AAdvantage members can earn
redeemable miles on all Alaska Airlines flights. If you would like to
learn more about this partnership I recommend you read our post from February. (Source One Mile at a Time)
