Stash Hotel Rewards doubles its portfolio of locations in British Columbia
Stash Hotel Rewards is on a bit of tear in B.C. with adding new hotels. Just a few short weeks ago we reported the addition of their third hotel. Now the program counts six hotels in total and seventh coming soon! So far the program is only expanding in B.C. however I would assume if all goes well for the program at these locations it won’t be long before we see more independent boutique hotels join the ranks of Stash Hotel Rewards. Here are the new hotels that have been or will be added:
- The Burrard – Vancouver, British Columbia
- Stirling All Suites Hotel – Nelson, British Columbia
- Auberge Vancouver Hotel – Vancouver, British Columbia
- Pemberton Valley Lodge – coming soon*
The U.S. will drop COVID Vaccine requirement for International Travellers
The requirement for International Travellers heading to the U.S. to be vaccinated for COVID-19 will be lifted at the end of the day on May 19.
Today, we are announcing that the Administration will end the COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Federal employees, Federal contractors, and international air travelers at the end of the day on May 11, the same day that the COVID-19 public health emergency ends.

On this day…
On this day in 2012 we posted a new feature called Options outside of Aeroplan and Air Miles. Part 1: Frequent Flyer Programs. In this three part series (At least if I remember correctly, it was three) we provided details on other programs for those Canadians who had become frustrated with the old versions of Aeroplan and Air Miles. Check it out here
A quote from that piece:
I receive numerous emails from my readers on how they are fed up with Aeroplan or Air Miles or both and they want to know what other options they have, particularly for travel rewards
