Apr 30 Update: Alberta to ban points/miles on prescriptions, latest set of Aeroplan Distinction flights, tons of new bonuses

Alberta joins B.C. and Ontario in banning points/miles on prescriptions, Distinction flights in Canada and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
While we were on vacation last week we missed this important development right here in Alberta. It appears that the Alberta College of Pharmacists has followed British Columbia and Ontario's lead in banning the awarding of loyalty points/miles on prescriptions. This change is due to take effect on May 1st.You may recall from a few months ago we provided lots of coverage of the B.C. issue thanks to our reader Randy out of Victoria and now it is happening right here in the home province of Rewards Canada. The biggest hit that we see is the Safeway/Air Miles partnership as it is a huge draw to using Safeway pharmacies and as such there is a big push from the two (plus Sobey's) to have this decision reversed. There is an online petition which at the time of posting already had over 22,000 Albertans voicing their opinion. I haven't seen any communications from Rexall (Aeroplan), Sobey's (Club Sobey's/Aeroplan),  Shoppers Drug Mart (Optimum) or others yet but at least with Shoppers there is a work around as they award Optimum Points on buying Shoppers Gift Cards which can then be used for the prescription purchase. Perhaps for the time being Safeway should do the same, award Air Miles for Safeway GCs!  I also encourage our readers in Alberta to go and sign the petition at http://iearneditpetition.ca/

Aeroplan has released their next set of Distinction Flights. These are flights that only Aeroplan Distinction members can redeem for. The first batch of flights were in March for destinations in the U.S. and Mexico while this newest set is for flights within Canada. Here are the flight dates and times. The redemption amounts are 25,000 Aeroplan Miles for Economy or 50,000 for Business. Full details can be found here

Air France KLM Flying Blue Promo Awards - Save 25% on award tickets between Toronto/Montreal & Europe for summer travel

The latest set of Air France KLM Flying Blue Promo Awards are out and this time there are two Canadian cities included. The past few Promo Awards have not seen any of our cities included so this is a nice change! The latest set of offers will be bookable as of May 1st and are good for award travel over the summer in July and August!  The offers this time are for 25% off Business Class between Toronto or Montreal and Europe. This could end up being a great deal considering this is for award travel during peak season when other airlines will be typically charging higher amounts of miles if they have the availability.  Don't have the miles? You could always consider transferring Starpoints earned via the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express to Flying Blue.

What are the promo awards? The promo awards are a discount of 25-50% off the regular Flying Blue mileage requirement for select AF KLM flights in select cabins.  Due to increases in the regular award mileage requirements last year the promo awards not as grand as they used to be but overall are they are still considered a great deal when compared to the regular mileage requirements. With the 25% this time the rates are still slight higher than Aeroplan's 90,000 miles for a ClassicFlight Business Class ticket to Europe. To take advantage of this deal you must book your promo award ticket between May 1 and May 31  for travel between July 1 and August 21. More details can be found here.

Apr 29 Update: US Airways Award Tikets avoid surcharges when flying on BA, Aeroplan transfer bonus, buy US Airways miles bonus to return

The Aeroplan transfer bonus returns, US Airways is the program to use for British Airways award tickets for the time being and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
Some of the U.S. Frequent Flyer blogs are encouraging you to book US Airways Dividend Miles award tickets for travel on British Airways sooner than later as word is getting out that US Airways is not charging the fuel surcharges that they are supposed to be charging for. This is a really good way to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on travel to London. So if you can now is time to book some BA travel via USDM! If you don't have enough miles you can always buy miles with the up to 100% bonus that starts up again on May 3rd (see below) HT View From the Wing, One Mile at a Time

We had an email this morning from Points.com letting us know that the US Airways promo of up to a 100% bonus when buying miles will return on May 3rd and last until May 25. If you are not a USDM member join now as you usually have to be a member for 12 days before you can buy miles (and then use them for the above offer!)

Transfer points to Aeroplan to earn up to 25,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles

Aeroplan has once again brought back their partner transfer bonus that we saw in November 2013 April 2013,  November 2012 and so on. Basically what it entails is transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your Aeroplan account. Just like in November, the offer is once again cumulative across all participating partners and the bonus maxes out at 25,000 miles again. (We haven't seen the 40,000 miles bonus since April of last year so it looks like it may have gone the way of the dodo bird...) and there are no financial partners involved this time as well, for Canadians that is, Americans get Diners Club Club Rewards in that category. Basically you can transfer from partners like Starwood, Hertz and more (see the last graphic) and as long as the total Aeroplan miles deposited from all of them reaches one of the bonus target levels you will be awarded the respective bonus miles.

And just like the last two versions of this offer, American Express Membership Rewards is unfortunately not included. so chances are I will not use the promo this time (again).

If you are a Starwood Preferred Guest collector you can really up the bonus by taking advantage of their 5,000 Mile bonus offer when you convert 20,000 Starpoints into Aeroplan. Which means in this promotion you can get 29,000 Aeroplan Miles for 20,000 Starpoints or if you transfer 20k four times, you'll get 125,000 Aeroplan Miles for 80,000 Starpoints. Of course I like to keep Starpoints for award nights or cash+points stays within the Starwood family but some of you may like this transfer option.

Here is the offer as it will appear on our Aeroplan Bonus Mile Promotions page tomorrow:

Earn up to 25,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert points from a wide selection of Aeroplan partner loyalty programs (hotel, car rental, and points.com). Bonuses are as follows and are awarded on a cumulative basis. Convert Points to
5,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 1,000 Mile bonus
10,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 2,000 Mile bonus
20,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn 4,000 Mile bonus
50,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 10,000 Mile bonus
100,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 25,000 Mile bonus
Full details Valid until May 25, 14

Apr 28 Update: We're back! Voila Hotel Rewards contest, new SPG & Hilton HHonors systemwide promos and more!

We are back! Things have been quiet on Rewards Canada since April 17th! Why? We were on vacation and decided to make a true vacation with no work done at all (well almost no work, just a couple of critical emails got answered). Sometimes you just need to put work away! The first few days we'll be playing catch up on news, bonuses and more but by the end of the week we should be bringing you the latest deals, tips, tricks and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
Voila Hotel Rewards is running a contest on Facebook where you can win 50,000 VHR points  when you share your best travel tips on their Facebook page. A total of 5 prizes of 50,000 points will be awarded.  Enter here by May 31st!

Air Canada is further delaying the launch of their 787 service! According to Airlineroute.net the service between Toronto and Zurich has now been pushed back another week to May 25th while Tel Aviv gets pushed back two weeks to July 15. The single day May 21st YYZ-YUL service remains unchanged. Hopefully those of you who have booked flights just to be on this plane are not affected or you can change your plans to fly on it still! We're still crossing our fingers AC sends one over to YYC in June for the new runway opening celebration!

Canada's Points.com has bought the often mentioned on our site PointsHound.com! The third party hotel booking site that awards miles and points on those hotel stays fits nicely into Points.com's portfolio. Congrat's to Pete Van Dorn at PointsHound.com for being able to divest this startup so soon!

Porter Airlines will be launching a new seasonal route between Halifax and Stephenville. The flight will operate once per week from June 28 to August 31. Source: Airlineroute.net

Hilton HHonors: Double Points or Airline Miles for stays at participating locations Worldwide

It has been 10 days since our last post on the Rewards Canada blog and update on the main Rewards Canada site. Why? We were on vacation. Simple as that. Now that we are back it is time to play catch up on the past week or so of news, bonuses and more! some of the information we'll be bringing to you over the next few days you may already be aware of but as usual there will be some of it that you have not seen yet.

We start it off with Hilton HHonors next systemwide promotion which is nice and simple. Double HHonors points or Double Airline Miles on all your eligible stays at participating Hilton locations Worldwide. We bold 'participating' as once again there is a large list of hotels not participating, approximately ~600 or so, most of which are in the U.S.. Once you pick double points or double miles there is no switching. For us Double Points makes more sense but if you may only have one or  two Hilton stays during the promotional period, Double Miles may make more sense to pad your FFP account rather than having stray points sit dormant in your HHonors account.

Here is the offer as it appears on Rewards Canada's HHonors Bonus Points page:

Earn Twice the Rewards: Double HHonors points or Double Airline Miles for stays at any participating hotel or resort in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio. Full Details, Online Registration and Booking  (Registration is required)   May 1 - Jul 31, 14
For a list of hotels that are not participating please click here.

These are the Canadian locations that have chosen not to participate:

Hampton Inn & Suites Calgary Airport

Hilton Garden Inn Calgary Airport

Hampton Inn By Hilton Chilliwack

DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa by Hilton Niagara Falls

Hilton Niagara Falls / Fallsview

Hilton Garden Inn Toronto / Markham

Hilton Montreal / Laval

Hilton Garden Inn Montreal / Dorval Airport
