Summer travel season to Europe is in full swing but I know there are those of you who have not booked your rental cars yet but don't fret you can still get some good deals. One of my favourite rental agents for Europe is Auto Europe who offers cars from all the major rental firms (Sixt, Avis, Hertz etc) with great contracted rates that are usually cheaper than the firms themselves or via OTAs. Plus they have a best rate guarantee where they will beat lower prices for the same rental. The only drawback of renting via Auto Europe is that you do not earn any frequent flyer miles or points but then again the savings are typically worth way more than the miles or points you would earn. Here are some current Auto Europe specials:
- Save 20% on rentals in Europe if you pay for your rental by July 31
- Save 15% on Mercedes Benz or luxury rentals if you pay by July 31
- Receive a free one car class upgrade for rentals in Turkey

Rewards Canada Daily Update: July 16, 2012
News, Tips & Tricks
I hope everyone had a great weekend! On the news front I have seen from some of the U.S. frequent flyer blogs that the Bank of America Alaska Airline's credit cards in the U.S. will limit the $99 companion fare to coach class tickets only. I have not heard anything about the Canadian version of the card but would assume the same rules will apply. I have sent an email off to my contact at Mileage Plan to confirm. I will let you all know once he responds.
The news I broke to Canada about the changes to Capital One Delta SkyMiles MasterCard have become official this week as I got an email from Delta promoting the enhancements to the card. To see the what is offered see my post announcing the changes.
Finally check out the Iberia Plus offer below for 2,500 free Avios for getting your children to join their new Iberia Plus Kids program. While 2,500 Avios may not be much especially with the Iberia Plus program, you can transfer those points to British Airways Executive Club after those points have been in your kids Iberia account for 90 days. Of course, once those points are in your child's BA account you can create a household account where all the Avios points are shared by that family. So if you have a lot of kids (just think of 19 kids and counting or is it 20 now? ) this can be a good way to rack up a lot of free Avios points! Now, the sign up process is a bit convoluted in that you have to fill out a form and send it in via email, fax or post along with copies of your child(s) passport. But if you have 4 kids you can get 10,000 Avios which is enough for an award ticket between Toronto and New York once those miles are in your BA household account.

RBC Avion to British Airways 50% Transfer Bonus is back
One of the best conversion/transfer bonuses from a Hybrid card in Canada is back! We last saw this offer run from November 2011 to January 2012 and chances are it will be back later this fall as we have seen over the past few years.
The offer is the RBC Avion transfer bonus to British Airways Executive Club where you get 50% bonus Avios points when you convert a minimum 10,000 RBC Rewards points to the British Airways Executive Club program. Normally the transfer ratio is 1:1 but until the end of July it is 1:1.5.
This transfer bonus means you can fly between Toronto and New York for only 6,000 RBC Rewards Points (The RBC Avion redemption schedule requires 15,000) as the British Airways Award ticket requirement for a flight on American is 9,000 Avios. Flights to the U.K. run between 40,000 - 50,000 Avios (26,667 to 33,333 RBC Rewards Points) in economy from Canada which means with this offer you have get to spend less on your card for these redemptions. You do have to beware of high fuel surcharges on British Airways redemptions to the UK and Europe, however even with the high fuel surcharges they can still be worthwhile when utilizing the bonus considering how much more money you would have to spend on the credit card to get the redemption without the bonus or if you used the Avion Redemption schedule where you would need at least 65,000 RBC Rewards points before taxes and fees.
For more details on this offer please visit British Airways
Thanks to Christopher L. for the heads up on this version of the offer!

You do have to beware of high fuel surcharges on British Airways redemptions to the UK and Europe, however even with the high fuel surcharges they can still be worthwhile when utilizing the bonus considering how much more money you would have to spend on the credit card to get the redemption without the bonus or if you used the Avion Redemption schedule where you would need at least 65,000 RBC Rewards points before taxes and fees.
For more details on this offer please visit British Airways
Thanks to Christopher L. for the heads up on this version of the offer!

Rewards Canada Daily Update: July 4, 2012
News, Tips, & Tricks
The Rewards Canada Car Rental Bonus Offer listing has been enhanced recently. If you have visited the page over the past week or so you'll have noticed a new column for minimum rental days. Many lines are still empty as I am only completing it on a go forward basis but figure within 3-4 months it should have cycled through enough that most of the offers will now show the minimum rental length required so that you don't have to click through to the offer if you know you won't meet the requirement. See the enhanced page in action here.
Today was also a good day for new bonus offers, check them out below!
