Now more than half way through the week here is what Thursday June 13th has brought us:
News, Tips & Tricks
Potentially big news on the shopping side of loyalty programs coming out
late yesterday with the announcement
of Sobey's buying the Canadian operations of Safeway. No word yet on what
exactly is going to happen to the 200+ Safeway stores out west but
chances are they will eventually be re-branded as Sobey's which would also
mean the integration of the Club Sobey's program into all these stores.
If this happens the big loser will be Air Miles as Safeway has been the
place to be for earning hundreds if not thousands of Air Miles Rewards
miles since 1992! In fact Safeway has been the one of if not the most
lucrative partner for Air Miles Rewards Miles. Back in the day it wasn't
unheard of to earn hundreds of Air Miles when buying a few dollars
worth of Safeway brand dish sponges! I've scoured the news sources and
such but have not heard mention of what will happen to the Safeway
stores and as a result the Air Miles earning. There is talk of
integrating management, distribution etc. but maybe one of our readers
has found these details, if so please let us know!
On a great news note, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan has added many more
of their airline partners to their online award ticketing and it
includes the ability to book one way tickets on those partners for
exactly half the cost of the round trip award ticket. The online booking
engine now includes AeroMexico, Air France, Air Pacific, Emirates,
KLM, and Qantas. This change makes the Alaska Airlines program even
more lucrative because of certain redemptions like First Class on
Emirates and Qantas and even though Alaska only flies to Alberta and BC
you can see that through their partners you can redeem for flights out
of other Canadian cities like YYZ (Emirates, AF KLM), YUL (AF KLM) etc.
Outside of flying on Alaska and their partners the best way to earn
Mileage Plan miles in Canada is via credit card spend. The best cards
for this are the MBNA Alaska Airlines Platinum MasterCard, the Starwood Preferred Guest Card from American Express and the Diners Club Club Rewards MasterCard (well for those of us who hold this card). For details on redeemind Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles see here.
Over on the FFB Blog I explain how you can use the bonus for buying Melia International Mas Rewards points to get a $2500+ Business Class ticket on airberlin for only $1140.
