Jan 8 Update: EVA Air adds more Canada flights (great option for Aeroplan members), Hyatt Points+Cash a great new option, tons of new bonuses

We are half way through the week and while the news portion in the loyalty world has slowed down, the bonus offers have not!

Thank you to those who responded to our interview request on a fuel surcharges, we have passed along your details to the journalist who asked to reach out to our readership on their behalf.

News, Tips & Tricks

EVA Air is increasing their service between Canada and Taiwan as of June 10. Both Vancouver and Toronto to Taipei service will move to 4x weekly service respectively from 3x weekly.This is great news for Aeroplan members looking for access to Taiwan (or beyond) as more flights means more potential award ticket space and (and this is a big and!) the fuel surcharges on EVA Air are a lot less than on Aeroplan. EVA Air also offers a great business class product that is a good alternative to Air Canada's. (Source: Airlineroute.net)

Which flight(s) to Taipei would you pick? 

Aeroplan Economy Class redemption on EVA Air - only $57.91 in fees

Aeroplan redemption that includes Air Canada flights - Fees are over $300 more than EVA Air


Hyatt's Gold Passport changes kicked in yesterday with the higher redemption rates for reward nights which of course isn't good news but the one change that is actually really good is the introduction of Hyatt's Points+Cash option. The option provides great redemption value, especially for stays at Category 2-6 hotels. The 'value' or cost/per point for Cat 2-6 range from 1.2 - 1.38 cents per night, which of course is well below the cost of points if your were to buy them directly from Hyatt. Cat 1 and 7 come in at 2 cents which is still decent. This is the current Points+Cash chart:

Now there are some caveats to the Points+Cash option: They are capacity controlled, they are only for standard rooms and they can only be booked via phone (no online option yet). They are however cancellable, they will earn Gold Passport points on the cash portion (essentially a further discount on the points used), count towards elite status, can be upgraded for Diamond members and are eligible for bonus promotions.
