News, Tips & Tricks
Canada's newest airline (not newleaf, who has received the green light from the CTA now, but have not announced when they will re-launch), FlySarvaq is scheduling their first flight for May 6. The new airline based out of Iqaluit will offer Boeing 737 service between Iqaluit and Halifax and Ottawa. It appears to be a similar set up as newleaf as the planes will be operated by Nolinor Aviation. No FFP listed as yet but you should be able to use proprietary credit card programs to redeem for flights on the new airline. Find out more about FlySarvaq here

Not too long ago we brought you the details of the new Starbucks Rewards program and it looks like the U.S. version will have a co-branded prepaid Visa from Chase later this year. Hopefully Canada will follow suit and get the same card from Chase here. Chase Canada definitely needs to increase their portfolio in Canada (after the sale of Sears cards to Scotia) as they only have the Marriott Visa and the Amazon.ca Rewards Visa. Seeing how big Starbucks is and how loyal many of their clientele offering a Canadian Starbucks Visa would make great sense! If they do, I wouldn't anticipate it until sometime in 2017 however after they launch and prove the U.S. card later this year. (Source Doctor of Credit)
Emirates now allows ticket purchasers to check in online 48 hours ahead of the flight time. Not huge news but interesting none the least. (Source Emirates)
While we were off for the Easter Break, China's Anbang made a better bid for Starwood Hotels but then withdrew it. This means Marriott's takeover of Starwood should continue as it was before all this drama of the last few weeks.

Alaska Airlines has won a bidding war to buy Virgin America. Not big news for us north of the border seeing that Virgin America doesn't serve Toronto anymore (it has been a few years!)
