Free Internet, Free Breakfast and 15% off Air Canada flights for Starwood Hotel stays in Canada

Starwood Canada passed along this promotion to us and it is one to definitely take note of for your summer travels within Canada. The offer is for a full Canadian breakfast for one person from the property restaurant per room per eligible night; complimentary in-room internet access per room per eligible night, and complimentary water, and a discount code for 15% off an Air Canada Flex Fare code. The rate is slightly higher than most of the hotel's daily flexible rate (we checked a few hotels and found it $10 more) which covers the breakfast and internet (for non-elites at least) and the 15% Air Canada discount is a bonus. Granted the AC discount code is only for Flex and Latitude fares which in some cases may make a Flex Fare cheaper than the going Tango rates. This offer must be booked August 15th for stays that are completed by August 31, 2014. Stays may also count towards any bonus Starpoints earning with SPG's Earn Away Get Away promotion except for the 5 Canadian properties not participating (register by June 30th for stays until July 31)

June 20 Update: KLM updates checked baggage policy for FB members, Cathay Pacific celebrates 20 years in YYZ with a Premium Economy sale

A nice mix of news and bonuses today! Thanks for joining us for another week! See you all back here on Monday.

News, Tips & Tricks

If you are a member of Air France KLM's Flying Blue program and happened to fly KLM within Europe (not connecting from Canada) you'll know that your membership in their FFP waived checked luggage fees. That is all changing on October 1st of this year. Unless you hold elite status with FB this is what you'll be paying for checking luggage on those Intra-Europe flights (Source KLM)

For bookings on or after 1 October 2014, Ivory members will receive a 50% discount on the first piece of check-in baggage when travelling within Europe on a KLM Economy Class ticket.

What’s new?

• Ivory members can book one bag for €7.50 (one-way) by arranging it before arrival at the airport. The fare for checking in baggage at the airport without booking in advance is €15 (one-way)
• In line with all the extra flight options KLM provides, check-in baggage can also be paid in Miles:
  
  • 1,500 Miles when purchased through My Trip on KLM.com
  • 3,000 Miles at the airport

In addition, this revised policy does not apply to:

• European Economy Class tickets booked and issued before 1 October 2014
• Fully flexible tickets (booking class Y or B) within Europe
• European Economy Class tickets booked with Award Miles (award tickets)
• Flights to Belarus, Georgia, Italy, Russia or Ukraine
• Passengers travelling on and/or transferring to KLM intercontinental flights
• Flying Blue Elite members, who will continue to benefit from a baggage allowance of two items

Delta SkyMiles has changed the amount of miles you earn Hertz Rentals. Previously it was 100 SkyMiles per day now the earn rate is 500 SkyMiles per rental. Good news for those of you who rent for short periods and of course not so good news on those weekly or longer rentals you credit to SkyMiles. SkyMiles Medallion members will now earn between 1,000 and 1,250 per rental. (not entirely sure when this change happened, could be old, might be new but anyways we thougth we'd pass along the news!)\

June 19 Update: Reader Questions on Amex to BA Transfer bonus, Starwood Canada summer sale, 12 new bonuses

#RackUpRewards twitter chat, Cathay Pacific Upgrade Auction and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
The one question I have been asked the most over the past few months via email, the blog, twitter and more has been "Do you know when the Amex bonus for transferring Membership Rewards Points to British Airways will return?"

I talked to Amex and their response is "there are no transfer bonuses in the works." What this means is anyone's best guess. I personally don't think we'll see one in the short term ( 1-3 months) but who knows I could be wrong! I'm hoping they haven't killed the bonus as like many of you I'm sitting on a lot of points waiting to be transferred to BA. I recently took advantage of the Diners Club Club Rewards 30% transfer bonus to BA for a small transfer (4 - Avios 9,000 RT flights) but that bonus just nets out a little above an Avios per dollar whereas the Amex transfer with a 50% bonus would net out closer to 3 Avios per dollar for me. Here's to keeping our fingers crossed that it will be around sometime this year! On another Amex question note, some readers have asked when and if the 20K sign up bonus for the SPG Amex will return and same answer, no plans at the moment for that bonus. We usually see it twice a year so my guess is that it will be sometime this fall.

June 18 Update: mbna Choice MasterCard update, Thai Airways decimates their award flights, Starwood Asia Pacific sale

#RackUpRewards twitter chat, Cathay Pacific Upgrade Auction and more!

News, Tips & Tricks
We reached out to TD mbna for some clarification on the end of their partnership with Choice Hotels for the mbna Choice Privileges MasterCard to see what happens to those cardholders who have the card or just applied by June 9th to get the larger sign up bonus. The good news is that it looks like you can keep the card until Sep 27 and also get the larger sign up bonus as long you meet the minimum spend by July as was requried int he promotion.

"Choice Hotel customers will have all the same benefits of the program up until the 27th of September. Any regular or bonus points they incur will be added to their account. All customers will receive a notification of the termination by August. This notification will explain the termination and what will be happening to their Choice Hotel points. The notification will also cover the terms and conditions of their new rewards program."

Thai Airways is making some drastic, negative changes to their Royal Orchid Plus flight awards this September. I know there aren't that many Canadian's using Royal Orchid Plus but for those of you who are should look at cashing out your miles before September 1st as many award flights are going up in price (as much as double, for example Bangkok-Los Angeles in First Class goes from 230,000 ROP miles to 460,000 ROP miles!)
