Sep 29 Update: New Aeroplan Marriott stay offer, Delta MQM offer for Hilton stays, is Diners Club returning soon?

Welcome to another week of travel and loyalty rewards here on Rewards Canada! Today may be a little quiet but that doesn't say much for the rest of this week! Stay tuned for some major items to be released over the next few days!

News, Tips & Tricks
Good news for SkyMiles and/or SkyTeam flyers in the Vancouver area, Delta Airlines will be flying the Vancoouver-Los Angeles route year round instead of the previously planned Christmas/New Years service only. Flights will operate twice daily. (Source Airlineroute.net)

Marriott Rewards has added Turkish Airlines as their newest airline mileage earning/points transfer partner. You can now earn Miles&Smiles for your stays or convert Marriott Rewards points into Miles&Smiles miles. Find out more here. (Source: LoyaltyLobby)

Gary Leff at View from the Wing points out that Diners Club cards are now available for applications in the U.S however there still isn't any word about the Canadian cards opening for new applications. We have been watching this closely for the past 5 or so years and eagerly await to see what happens for us Canadians as their current offering here with the 'Professional' consumer card would shake up the rankings in our Hybrid card category if they keep the card the way it is (or if they make it better then the shake up will be even more noticable!)

In the bonus offer section, three major promos of note are the Aeroplan Marriott stay offer, the latest set of IHG PointBreaks and the Delta MQM offer from Hilton. Be sure to look into both of these offers!
