August 11 Update: RBC Cathay Pacific Visa sign up bonus increased, ANA extra piece of luggage offer out of YVR, Britsh Airways buy Avios bonus

Welcome to the next week of updates here on Rewards Canada!


News, Tips & Tricks
LoyaltyLobby points out that the Four Points Vancouver Airport had an unannounced award night category change. The hotel moves from an SPG Category 2 to Category 3 hotel.

ANA All Nippon is offering 1 additional piece of baggage at no additional charge for eligible passengers flying Economy class on their Vancouver- Tokyo Narita flights. The offer is good for flights between October 1st and March 31st, 2015. Find out more here


In the bonus offers section you'll see that the sign up bonus for the Cathay Pacific Asia Miles Platinum Card from RBC has been increased to 15,000 miles from the usual 10,000 miles. Even with the extra miles this is a relatively weak sign up bonus and the card itself is in the middle to lower end of the pack for airline cards in Canada. Really the card is very specific to those who fly on Cathay Pacific lots and have Asia Miles as their primary frequent flyer program.
