IHG Priority Club Reward Night Changes & Promotion Update
InterContinental Hotels Group is really revamping their Priority Club program in 2013 with both positive and negative changes. We have already seen the news about the changes to Points Earning and that all points will no longer count towards Elite Status, we've seen enhanced Elite Benefits to members in China (hopefully something will be rolled out globally) and now there are changes to the reward nights offered from Priority Club. I outline the changes below plus I also give you an update on Priority Club bonuses as I know that is what many of you visit our main Priority Club page for.
Reward Night Changes
It hasn't been too long since InterContinental Hotel's Group Priority Club made some changes to their free night reward charts and as of January 18 of this year further changes are coming. Gone will be the redemption rates based on brand as the reward chart moves to a category format like most of Priority Club's competition. The actual min and max redemption amounts haven't changed as they range from 10,000 points for Category 1 to 50,000 points for Category 9. Priority Club is set to release the hotel list by category on January 9th and according to the director of Priority Club rewards about 30% of hotels will move down in points requirements while another 30% will move up. So when this list comes out and you see that a hotel you want to redeem for is moving up you can still redeem at the old rates until March 18 (only by calling in) and if the hotel is moving down I would hold off until the 18th to redeem for it. More details can be found here.
Here is a letter explaining the changes from IHG as pulled from the Priority Club community forum:
Bonus Offer Changes
Many of you were disappointed when Priority Club didn't run a systemwide promotion for Q4 (don't confuse the loosely targeted Stay X Get Y promos as those are not their true systemwide promos) and the lack of one for 2013 yet! I can give you the following update on Priority Club's plans for 2013:
Now that we are into 2013 the latest set of those Stay X Get Y promos, also known as the Stay More Earn More targeted bonuses are out and as you have probably seen they have been changed slightly to add additional bonuses over an above to base Stay X nights. IHG has told me there will be further changes to the promotions they run. Their next true systemwide promotion should be out later this month for the U.S. and Canada but is already being rolled out in other countries (I thought I found one yesterday but that is a systemwide bonus for new members only). The systemwide promotions will be different from their past promotions as there will be different iterations depending on the member and a number of other variables (think Marriott Rewards MegaBonus). It also looks that there will only be 3 systemwide promos for 2013 (as in 2012) but as with all loyalty programs that can change at anytime based on market conditions and what the competition is doing.
Hopefully my little update here will help the vast number of Priority Club members using FFB to gauge what they want to do with program in 2013. As always keep checking the FFB Blog and my Priority Club Bonus page for any further updates or news on the Priority Club program.

Jan 10 Update: Novotel Canada sale, Marriott MegaMiles returns, Alaska Airlines flight bonuses
Not a bad day of updates here on Rewards Canada and Frequent Flyer Bonuses but considering I have a list of 30+ items (features, articles and more) not including the daily dose of bonus offers, I am definitely running behind in what I want to be providing my Rewards Canada readers. Don't fret however, as most of it is not time sensitive and I am slowly putting a dent in that list so just keep checking back for the latest and greatest in the Canadian rewards market. Plus I promise to get back to everyone's email as soon as I can too!

If you caught my post yesterday on making use of Emirates Skywards Mile Accelerator offers but don't collect Skyward miles, you now have another bonus offer option for EK's flights out of Seattle. Alaska Airlines will be offering bonuses on Seattle-Dubai between February and April. See the offer below.
As well if you find yourself staying at a Marriott hotel at least twice and Marriott Rewards is not a major player in your hotel loyalty card arsenal then you can take advantage of the latest version of the MegaMiles promotion. The offer this time is for Double Miles after your second stay which is not as good as last time around when it was Triple Miles but its better than nothing I guess! See below for details

Emirates Miles Accelerator: Earn Bonus Skyward Miles on select routes
What better time than the start of the year to remind Emirates Skywards members and travelers flying on Emirates about their excellent Miles Accelerator offers. Each month Emirates releases bonus offers on select routes across their network called 'Miles Accelerator' which enables you to earn more
Skywards Miles when you fly with Emirates, irrespective of the fare you
pay or where you buy your ticket. Unlike other 'multipliers' from the likes of American, US Airways etc. you don't pay for these bonsus miles.
For us here in Canada the best options for Emirates flights are out of Toronto (Air Canada and WestJet interline with EK so you can connect seamlessly from other Canadian cities) and also Seattle (where Alaska Airlines partners with EK and offers flights out of Alberta and BC to connect to the Seattle-Dubai flight). Of course you can always choose another U.S. city to connect via and if you are flying beyond Dubai be sure to check if there are Miles Accelerator offers for those sectors as well. We keep a select list of offers on the Rewards Canada site but there are even more using the Miles Accelerator search engine.
For the month of January, the Miles Accelerator offer is available from both Toronto and Seattle as follows:
As you can see both routes do not have bonuses on Economy class flights in January but do in both Business and First Class. As the Miles Accelerator offer seems dynamic as is updated at least once a month if not more I would always recommend you check back every so often to see if Economy Class is added in situations like these (or just opt-in for your route to make sure you don't miss out on any potential bonus miles)
About Miles Accelerator:
The Miles Accelerator feature allows you to search out routes, presumably the ones you need to fly on and see if any of them are offering more miles. Typically flights that are seeing less demand will see a bonus offer. For example, city pairs that have more then one flight a day may have different bonuses offered depending on the flight. As you can see on the following Frankfurt - Dubai screen grab from November 2011, the early morning flight to Dubai has no bonus for economy class presumably because the flight is showing enough demand:
Sometimes
the bonuses are the same for the return flight but on many occasions
they are not, as seen on the return Dubai to Frankfurt routing:
Here are some other routes that have bonuses for the month of January
Route / First Class / Business Class / Economy Class (Round Trip Values)
Dallas - Dubai / 16,000 bonus Miles / 8,000 bonus Miles / Not available
Houston - Dubai / 12,000 bonus Miles / Not available / 3,000 bonus Miles
New York - Dubai / 8,000 Bonus Miles / 6,000 Bonus Miles / 4,000 bonus Miles

Paris - Dubai / 10,000 Bonus Miles / 5,000 Bonus Miles / 3,000 bonus Miles

Rio De Janeiro- Dubai / 14,000 Bonus Miles / Not available / Not available
Singapore- Dubai / 6,000 Bonus Miles / 4,000 bonus Miles / 3,000 bonus Miles
Seoul - Dubai / 9,000 bonus Miles / 6,000 bonus Miles / 4,000 bonus Miles
Sydney - Dubai / 14,000 bonus Miles / 4,000 bonus Miles / Not available
Tokyo - Dubai / 9,000 Bonus Miles / 6,000 bonus Miles / 6,000 bonus Miles
Vienna - Dubai / 10,000 bonus Miles / 6,000 bonus Miles / Not available
Zurich - Dubai / Not available / Not available / 2,000 bonus Miles
Overall the Miles Accelerator offer from Emirates is a good way to earn some extra miles on your EK flights. The bonus miles do not cost you anything extra, all you have to do is opt-in each month into the Miles Accelerator program and see if you can take advantage of any of the routes that have bonus offers on them. It is wise to check the offers on a monthly basis or visit our Skywards page for a sampling of offers as sometimes the bonuses can get quite large as witnessed on several occasions when you could earn 70,000 Bonus Skywards miles for flights in first class between Los Angeles and Dubai.
For us here in Canada the best options for Emirates flights are out of Toronto (Air Canada and WestJet interline with EK so you can connect seamlessly from other Canadian cities) and also Seattle (where Alaska Airlines partners with EK and offers flights out of Alberta and BC to connect to the Seattle-Dubai flight). Of course you can always choose another U.S. city to connect via and if you are flying beyond Dubai be sure to check if there are Miles Accelerator offers for those sectors as well.

Seattle - Dubai / 16,000 bonus Miles / 8,000 bonus Miles / Not Available
Toronto - Dubai / 12,000 bonus Miles / 4,000 bonus Miles / Not Available
As you can see both routes do not have bonuses on Economy class flights in January but do in both Business and First Class. As the Miles Accelerator offer seems dynamic as is updated at least once a month if not more I would always recommend you check back every so often to see if Economy Class is added in situations like these (or just opt-in for your route to make sure you don't miss out on any potential bonus miles)

Overall the Miles Accelerator offer from Emirates is a good way to earn some extra miles on your EK flights. The bonus miles do not cost you anything extra, all you have to do is opt-in each month into the Miles Accelerator program and see if you can take advantage of any of the routes that have bonus offers on them. It is wise to check the offers on a monthly basis or visit our Skywards page for a sampling of offers as sometimes the bonuses can get quite large as witnessed on several occasions when you could earn 70,000 Bonus Skywards miles for flights in first class between Los Angeles and Dubai.

Jan 8 Update: Priority Club Redemption Changes, new Aeroplan mileage earning at Esso, extended United Elite Status Match
News, Tips & Tricks
It hasn't been too long since InterContinental Hotel's Group Priority Club made some changes to their free night reward charts and as of January 18 of this year further changes are coming. Gone will be the redemption rates based on brand as the reward chart moves to a category format like most of Priority Club's competition. The actual min and max redemption amounts haven't changed as they range from 10,000 points for Category 1 to 50,000 points for Category 9. Priority Club is set to release the hotel list by category on January 9th and according to the director of Priority Club rewards about 30% of hotels will move down in points requirements while another 30% will move up. So when this list comes out and you see that a hotel you want to redeem for is moving up you can still redeem at the old rates until March 18 (only by calling in) and if the hotel is moving down I would hold off until the 18th to redeem for it. More details can be found here.
Aeroplan and Esso have increased the number of Aeroplan Miles you can earn on gasoline purchases. Now when you buy Extra Grade gas you will earn 2 Miles/$3 and if you buy Supreme Grade you will earn 3 Miles/$3. All other gas and eligible store purchases remain at 1 Miles/$3

Jan 4 Update: Air France KLM Promo Awards, Delta SkyMiles Starwood Bonuses, US Airways news
The final day of updates for this week brings us some average bonus offers
and more airline and program news, most of which collected on my laptop over
the Christmas break.
News, Tips & Tricks
Over the Christmas Break, Rewards Canada donated $500 to the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation on behalf of some our clients (in lieu of Christmas Gift Baskets!). Without the support of the Rewards Canada readers, I would not have the clients I do today so this donation could also be considered on your behalf too!
I finally confirmed a winner for the pair of Maple Leaf lounge passes I was giving away on the Rewards Canada Facebook page. Congrats to Melissa H!
I want to remind Rewards Canada readers of the Air France KLM Flying Blue's nice sign up offer for Canadian residents. Earn 5,000 Bonus Flying Blue miles when you join the program and take one Air France, KLM or SkyTeam flight. This offer is interesting in that the sign up bonus offer for most other countries is only good for Air France KLM flights while this Canadian version includes all of SkyTeam. So if you have a Delta flight between Vancouver and Salt Lake City, a Korean Air flight between Toronto and Seoul etc. then this bonus will apply. Complete details include the offer code can be found on Rewards Canada's main Flying Blue page.
US Airways has now confirmed via their award chart that you cannot use Dividend Miles to redeem for First Class flights on Lufthansa.
US Airways is also cancelling their service Ottawa and Washington Reagan as of Feb 2, 13 (Source: Airline Route Update)
The latest Air France KLM Flying Blue promo awards are out. This time around Economy Class redemptions between Montreal and Europe 1/2/3 are available at 50% off for travel until the end of February.
Virgin Atlantic's service between Vancouver and London Heathrow last summer must have been succesful enough that it returns on May 15, 2013. The flights will operate 3x weekly. (Source: Airline Route Update)

This offer is interesting in that the sign up bonus offer for most other countries is only good for Air France KLM flights while this Canadian version includes all of SkyTeam. So if you have a Delta flight between Vancouver and Salt Lake City, a Korean Air flight between Toronto and Seoul etc. then this bonus will apply. Complete details include the offer code can be found on Rewards Canada's main Flying Blue page.
US Airways has now confirmed via their award chart that you cannot use Dividend Miles to redeem for First Class flights on Lufthansa.

Virgin Atlantic's service between Vancouver and London Heathrow last summer must have been succesful enough that it returns on May 15, 2013. The flights will operate 3x weekly. (Source: Airline Route Update)
