Sep 20 Upate: Canada's Choice voting now open, Asia Miles program change, 10K Bonus Points at Residence Inn YYZ

Big day here on Rewards Canada with the launch of the 3rd annual Canada's Choice portion of our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card feature. It looks like it is gaining steam every year! Two years ago we only had 700 some odd votes, last year we had 180 in the first 5 hours and over 3,000 total and if the first 5 hours this year are any indication it will be even bigger as we more than doubled the responses in that short 5 hour time frame with nearly 400 votes at the time of posting this. Have your say in the results this year by voting at rewardscanada.ca/vote

News, Tips & Tricks

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles is making two changes to their program as of October 8th. One is positive and the other is negative. First the positive news is that as of that date if you fly on discount economy tickets booked into S, N or Q classes you will earn 25% of the mileage in Asia Miles whereas right now those fares earn 0. The bad news is that Asia Miles will charge $25 or 1,000 Miles each time a confirmed award flight date or flight number is changed (per flight sector per passenger, with the same itinerary, same airline, and same ticket expiry date. Details on these changes can be found here
