October 8 Update: 20% Bonus for converting hotel points to Etihad Guest, Double Avios on all Accor Hotel stays Worldwide including Fairmont & more bonus offers

Today was primarily a bonus offer day on our websites! There are definitely a couple you may want to check out.


The first offer is more so for our mileage and program maximizers as it is quite program specific. It is the return of Etihad Guest's transfer bonus offer. This is similar in vain to Aeroplan's hotel transfer bonus offers we often feature on here. With this bonus you'll get 20% bonus Etihad Guest miles when you convert points from hotel and financial partners (unfortunately Amex Canada is not participating this time) As with almost all these transfer bonuses your best bet is transferring points from Marriott Bonvoy. When you convert 60,000 Bonvoy Points Marriott will kick in an additional 5,000 miles. In this case that means you can get 30,000 Etihad Guest miles for the 60,000 Bonvoy points (25,000 + 20%). Etihad isn't a program overly utilized by many Canadians but they do have sweet spots in their program such as redeeming miles to fly Business Class between Prague and Seoul on Czech Airlines. This redemption is only 25,610 Etihad Guest miles one way! Learn more about the transfer offer here.


---


The second bonus you may want to check out is the new Iberia Plus bonus offer for stays at Accor Hotels Worldwide including our coveted Fairmont Hotels. The reason you may want to pay more attention to this offer is that Iberia Plus has the best earn rates (conversion rates that is) with Accor Hotels out of all the hotel's airline partners. Basically the points convert 1:1 and you may think why would I want to credit to Iberia instead of Aeroplan as I use the latter program more. The main reason why is that Iberia Plus' currency is Avios. Yes the same currency as British Airways Executive Club and you can transfer the Avios from Iberia to British Airways so long as you have your accounts linked for 90 days. BA's own earn rate at Accor is 2:1 so you would earn half the normal amount of points compared to the earn rate with Iberia (not taking into account this bonus!) Learn more about the bonus here!

June 22 Update: Norwegian Airlines outlines first Canadian flights from Hamilton & Montreal, a great Iberia Plus promotion and more


We now know what routes Norwegian Airlines will initially fly from Canada when the Ultra Low Cost Carrier launches them later this year. They will launch seasonal service from Montreal to the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique in late October and serivce across the pond in March 2019 when they start flying their 737 MAX aircraft between Hamilton and Dublin. Unlike most other ULCC's Norwegian does actually have a frequent flyer program called Norwegian Rewards and the currency is called CashPoints. You can 2 to 12% CashPoints on Norwegian flights plus more on hotel bookings and car rentals. Learn more about Norwegian Reward here. As is always the case when a new airline launches in Canada that has an FFP we'll add them to our bonus offer listing page and provide upgraded news coverage of the program and the airline. Norwegian Reward isn't known for offering lots of bonuses but have had the occasional flight offer over the past few years. Find out more


This may interest some of you if you have travels within Europe or maybe from the U.S. to Europe,  or even want to buy 10 cheap tickets and not fly them, Spanish carrier Iberia is offering a sweet 9,000 Bonus Avios per flight if you book those flights this weekend. They say you have to use to Avios by December 1st so only go nuts for buying Iberia tickets if you know you can use those Avios by then and you quite possibly can as they can be redeemed for flights on oneworld airlines, hotels and so on. We also know that you will get the bonus even if you don't take the flights (just don't cancel them) and they are reports of flights around 33EUR (330EUR total for 90,000 Avios, which is a good deal)  Find out more here.  Thinking of going for it? Iberia is actually one of our travel partners and booking these flights via our link with them helps support Rewards Canada/FFB!

November 3 Update: American AAdvantage slashes earning on British Airways & Iberia, new credit card offers, bonuses and more!

The start of the month means lots of news, bonuses, new credit card offers and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
Even though we technically took yesterday and the weekend off we still posted about some new credit card sign up offers and the return, albeit smaller, of the RBC Rewards to British Airways transfer bonus. You can find all that news in the Posts since our last update section!

If you credit British Airways or Iberia flights to American AAdvantage be prepared to earn less miles in 2016! As of February 1st there will be new AAdvantage mileage earning rates for flying on these two airlines and unless you are flying in Business Class, First Class or full fare premium economy you are going to earn less miles. The biggest hits are to the lower end of the economy class spectrum of course with Discount Economy going to 50% miles from 100% and Deep Discount dropping to 25% from 100%!! Find out more about the British Airways changes here and Iberia changes here. (Source One Mile at a Time)


Starwood Preferred Guest has launched member's only pricing (up to a 10% discount) for bookings made via Starwood. The discount is interesting and may be worthwhile for those who are not CAA/AAA members. If you are a CAA/AAA member you should be able to get a better discount with more favourable cancellation terms. Find out more here.


Croatia Airlines has expanded their code sharing with Air Canada. You will now find Croatia Airlines flight numbers on many of AC's transatlantic routes. Croatia Airlines is a Miles & More member airline (Lufthansa's Frequent Flyer Program) Since they are a Miles & More airline, Croatia Airlines does not have their own page on Rewards Canada as you can find all Miles & More offers on our M&M page. (Source Airlineroute.net)

Voting is now closed for our Canada's Choice Top Travel Rewards Credit Cards. Thank you to all of you who took the time to vote. The results will be revealed soon!!

CONTEST ALERT!
You have a little over a day to enter to win 2 tickets to the Aeroplan dExclusives "An Evening with Rod Stewart" in Toronto. Find out more here.

July 28 Update: First Year Free on Scotia Momentum Infinite extended, Bonus Aeroplan Miles at Costco, 50 Free Avios from Iberia Plus

Playing catch up again after another few days off for a vacation!

News, Tips & Tricks
Be sure to check your email for a targeted offer from Costco that offers bonus Aeroplan miles for purchasing select Kirkland products in-store.

Last week Avianca Brazil officially joined the Star Alliance which means Aeroplan members can now earn and burn miles with this latest airline partner (or any other Star Alliance partner for that matter)

The First Year Free offer on the Scotia Momentum® VISA Infinite* Card has been extended to October 31st. We have reflected this change on our cashback comparison chart.


The 500 AIR MILES Reward Miles bonus for the no fee BMO AIR MILES MasterCard has returned until August 31st. We have reflected this change on the following charts: All Travel Rewards Credit Cards, Most Popular Cards, Travel Points Credit Cards


Alaska Airlines & Hainan Airlines have announced a new partnership. At this point, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can only earn miles on Hainan flights. This is significant news as Hainan serves Toronto and Mileage Plan is a very valuable frequent flyer program with a strong credit card offering in Canada. That being said since you can only earn miles at this point the full strength of Mileage Plan cannot be utilized. However redemption options should be available for Hainan flights late this fall and that is where the partnership will really shine since Mileage Plan allows one way awards on many of their foreign partners and offers those awards at decent mileage rates. They also fly to Seattle which provides a connection option by flying Alaska out of B.C. or Alberta to connect to the Hainan flight. Find out more here.

On the not so good news front more of Air Canada's sun destination routes are being transferred to rouge such as Vancouver-Kona and many Florida routes out of YYZ and YUL. (Source Airlineroute.net)

Looking to fly on WestJet's new 767s and you're not going to Hawaii? (Well new to WestJet as they acquired them from Qantas) They will operate one of their services on Saturdays to Montego Bay from Toronto (Source Airlineroute.net)

In the bonus offers section check out the free Avios offer from Iberia Plus. This is a good way to activate your Iberia account so that you can transfer Avios from British Airways (which has a 25% bonus from Amex right now) and then redeem via Iberia to avoid fuel surcharges.

Oct 6 Update: The Platinum Card from American Express enhancements and Double Avios on all Iberia flights

Welcome to a short week here on Rewards Canada with updates only occurring until Wednesday and no newsletter this coming Thanksgiving weekend.

News, Tips & Tricks
On Friday I got this letter from American Express highlighting some minor enhancements to the Platinum Card. Essentially you can now redeem your annual $200 travel credit online at americanexpress.ca/travel plus they mention the newly opened Amex Centurion Lounge in New York La Guardia airport. This is third lounge in the U.S. after Las Vegas and Dallas. San Francisco and Miami are in line for later this year and early in 2015. You can find out more about these lounges here. Not mentioned in the letter but on the rediscoverplatinum.ca webiste is the addition of two new Plaza Premium lounges to the Amex program, one in London and the other in Abu Dhabi. While these are enhancements they still don't make up for the losses seen earlier this year with the removal of the Cathay Pacific Marco Polo elite status and access to American/US Airways lounges. Hopefully we'll see more enhancements like those removed soon!

July 28 Update: 50 Free Iberia Plus Avios, PointsHound bonus for C$ bookings, and lots of news & bonuses

We're back to a full week of travel rewards and loyalty program coverage here on Rewards Canada!

News, Tips & Tricks
Catching up on lots of news here!

Air Canada Rouge,
looks to take on WestJet's stranglehold on flights to Palm Springs as they will be adding 3x weekly service to the desert oasis from Vancouver this December. (Source Airlineroute.net)

Aeroplan award flights for travel on EVA Air are once again bookable. They were unavailable for awhile. I recall a comment on one of our posts where a reader could not access their flights at all so hopefully you have not booked yet as now you'll be able to get those flights you want.

If you are booked or were planning to travel on Lufthansa's seasonal Vancouver-Munich service you should double check your email for flight changes as they are cutting short their service by two weeks. Originally flights were to run until Oct 25 but that has been changed to Oct 11. (Source Airlineroute.net)

WestJet Encore will launch a new Toronto to Fredrection service on April 15, 2015. The flights will operate twice daily. (Source Airlineroute.net)

WestJet also announced the details of their winter 2014/15 flight schedule which includes two new routes: Calgary-Loreto, Mexico and Winnipeg-Ft. Lauderdale. Their will also be increased frequency on 19 of their existing routes. (Source WestJet)

In the bonus offers section be sure to take advantage of the 50 Free Avios offer from Iberia. Always good to get some free miles! This will also make your account active if you haven't earned any Avios yet and let you eventually transfer Avios between British Airways and Iberia, with the latter being an option for avoiding fuel surcharges on certain routes.
