Changes coming to More Rewards Travel in 2024
Thanks to RWRDS Canada contributor Jeff W. for forwarding details about some changes coming to More Rewards Travel. As of December 1st members cannot book travel via More Rewards Travel as the program is switching from their in-house full service travel agency to “a leader in online travel booking”.
My guess is they are going to have Expedia power their travel bookings as everyone seems to be moving to an Expedia back end. Not only that, but as the program will not have their own booking engine available during the switchover they will be offering members digital travel vouchers that can be redeemed via Expedia which further leads me to believe that Expedia will be their choice. The points value for redeeming for these Expedia vouchers is the same as members would receive had they used them book travel via More Rewards Travel which is the best value in the program at 0.42 cents per point.
Based on the FAQ, More Rewards points will retain their current value when the new travel booking site is launched in 2024 and members will still be able to redeem a mixture of points and cash for travel bookings. For the most part it is back end change from the program although they do state the new system will have “more booking options, better travel sales and much, much more. ”

Earn bonus Elite Status Miles flying Air Algerie out of Montreal
Air Algerie has launched a new flight bonus offer that offer 5,000 bonus elite status Plus Miles for every three international flights completed. This includes the airline’s flights between Montreal and Algiers. We are assuming that by flights they mean segments as there is no mention of one way, round trip etc. and the offer can be earned twice per member which would mean 6 flights which should be three round trips or six one way flights. This offer is available for travel until March 30, 2024. Click here for more details (Click on +Miles Qualifiants on the offer page)
