Air Canada
released their annual Christmas video this week which a nice whimsical animation about bringing people together

Air Canada is embracing the magic of the season with a new spot that shares a message of togetherness for the first holiday many Canadians will spend together in two years. Just like so many of us that have been apart, feeling like we have been living in a bubble, the video shows a story of two people who are separated by their glass snow globe.

Rewards Canada frequent commentator Davidd418 noted in a comment of his that AIR MILES flights has added more airlines that you can redeem on. He found that in his searches Copa Airlines and AeroMexico were now both showing up as options. Here's one example we found after he let us know:

Hilton Honors announced today that they are changing their points expiration policy for the better. The are switching from a 15 month inactivity rule to 24 months. That means you now have a full two years to at least earn or redeem one point in your Hilton Honors account to keep those points alive. This is a welcome that puts Hilton more in line with other program like World of Hyatt and Marriott Bonvoy which both also have 24 month inactivity rules.
