100% Bonus on buying IHG Rewards Club Points until June 30th!
The great 100% bonus on buying IHG Rewards Club points has returned! This offer brings the price of a point down to 0.575 of a cent if you buy 26,000 or more points. This per point price is less than the Points+Cash trick of buying points for 0.7 cents. If you choose to buy the maximum number of points, 60,000, it will cost you US$690 but of course you'll end up getting 120,000 points. That's 24 nights at IHG hotels if redeeming via the PointBreaks option which works out to only $28.75 per night!

Jun 16 Update: WestJet announces 767 service to London Gatwick, American Airlines reduces YVR/YEG-LAX, WestJet & AC route bonuses
It was a WestJet Air Canada Aeroplan kind of day on Rewards Canada!
News, Tips & Tricks
WestJet has announced their first Transatlantic 767 route and its London Gatwick! After several of the birds finish flying the winter Alberta-Hawaii season we all presumed Europe was on the horizon for them and now it is confirmed. Although the press release does not state what cities in Canada we are guessing that at least one city will be Calgary since the 767s will be based there. (Source: WestJet)
WestJet has also announced further increases for flights to Loreto, Mexico from Calgary, Puerto Vallarta and Palm Springs from Toronto as well as making Calgary-Yellowknife a year round daily service. (Source WestJet)
American Airlines is reducing service to Los Angeles from Vancouver and Edmonton for late summer/early fall and are in fact discontinuing the Edmonton service from September through to December. Always not great to see service reductions, means its harder to get those award seats via AAdvantage, British Airways and other oneworld carriers. (Source Airlineroute.net)

Jun 15 Update: Delta SkyMiles® & Capital One® part ways, tons of AIR MILES bonuses, Emirates and Porter Airlines team up!
Here is your first update of the week!
News, Tips & Tricks
Biggest news from last week is that Delta SkyMiles® & Capital One® have mutually agreed to end their co-brand relationship. This means the Delta SkyMiles® MasterCards® from Capital One® have been discontinued.
That leaves the following cards as your options to earn SkyMiles in Canada:
American Express Gold Rewards Card (C$1 = .75 - 1.5 SkyMiles)
The Platinum Card from American Express (C$1 = .93 SkyMiles)
Diners Club Club Rewards MasterCard (C$1 = 0.80 SkyMiles)
Marriott Rewards Premier Visa (C$1 = 0.2 - 0.35 SkyMiles)
MBNA Best Western Rewards MasterCard (C$1= 0.30 SkyMiles)
Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express (C$1 = 1 SkyMile)
No word yet on whether Delta is shopping around for another card issuer. This isn't the first time a major U.S. Airline has left our market. A few years back American AAdvantage and TD parted ways. What can we say, our market is tough nut to crack! Outside of Aeroplan, AIR MILES, WestJet and our proprietary credit card programs there isn't a huge market. Sure you have niche markets like British Airways and Cathay Pacific but they don't get much of the pie. I am working on a proposal for a non-North American airline that is interested in launching a card here and all I can say it would be tough to gain market share outside of the niche market of ex-pats who would want to visit friends and family back in the home country. I would be suspect to believe that the Delta cards didn't even have that niche, just loyal SkyMiles® members since Air Canada and WestJet cover a lot of travel to the U.S. and Air Canada/Aeroplan alone have a big chunk of the International market.

Thanks to our reader Frank A. for letting us know that Metro is also offering AIR MILES bonuses for buying Gift Cards just like the Safeway offer we let you know about last week.
Emirates and Porter Airlines announced a new interline agreement last week. "The agreement allows passengers the convenience to depart daily from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) on Porter, connecting in Boston (BOS) or Washington (IAD), before continuing their journey to Dubai and beyond with Emirates."

American Express Membership Rewards - Limited Time Fixed Price Redemptions via Amex Travel
American Express appears to be testing the waters of fixed price redemptions with this limited time promotion via American Express Travel. Along the same line as RBC Avion or CIBC Aventura you can redeem a set amount of points up to a maximum ticket price then pay for taxes and fees with your card or points. Now if you recall just over a week ago we released our special feature on flexibility and called out programs like Avion and Aventura as being the least flexible with charts like these as you can potentially lose value if the ticket price is way lower than the maximum set out. Same thing goes here, if you redeem points for a really cheap ticket on one of the four eligible routes, you're losing value. However, where American Express differs is they allow you to choose to the fixed points redemption or the TripFlex option. So if we take the Vancouver-Calgary option and the base ticket price is more than $250 you would use the Fixed Point Redemption but if the base ticket price is less than $250 you would just charge the flight to your American Express Gold Rewards Card or The Platinum Card from American Express and then when the charge shows up on your account you then use the TripFlex option to redeem points against it. Whereas Avion and Aventura your stuck redeeming the fixed rate of points regardless of the price of the ticket.
At the moment there are only four routes eligible for this Fixed Point option and they are available until October 30th.
| Redeeming your points with the Fixed Points Redemption Option is as easy as 1, 2, 3! | |
 |
Visit americanexpress.ca/travel and log in to your account. |
 |
Search for one of the eligible round-trip economy class routes. If you have sufficient Membership Rewards points to cover all travelers on your itinerary at the fixed points amount, the Fixed Points Redemption Option will be presented.1 |
 |
Redeem the fixed points amount indicated towards the base ticket price. The taxes, fees, carrier surcharges, and any amount above the maximum base ticket price will be charged to your Card.1 |
| Plus, the Fixed Points Redemption Option can be combined with TripFlexTM rewards!2 Once the travel purchase is posted to your account, you can then redeem points for the taxes, fees, carrier surcharges, or any amount above the maximum base ticket price using TripFlex rewards.2 | |
Testing this offer we definitely found some flights where TripFlex was simply the better offer as the base fares were below the Fixed Price equivalent but there were others were the Fixed Point worked out better:
With this Fixed Points option above your 40,000 points gets you $561.00 in value whereas TripFlex would only get you $400 and you fly on a Boeing 777!
With this Fixed Points option above your 25,000 points
gets you $264.00 in value whereas TripFlex would only get you $250.
Ultimately if you redeem via Fixed Price Redemption or TripFlex or both you should earn Aeroplan Miles on these flights (or WestJet Rewards dollars if you choose WestJet) as these are paid revenue tickets!
Are you going to take advantage of this offer? Since this runs over the busy travel season I personally may just look into it for the YYC-YVR flight.

Big Air Miles Bonuses for Gift Card Purchases at Safeway - 1.2 Reward Miles per $1 spent (until Jun 18, 15)
We haven't seen AIR MILES bonuses for buying gift cards at Safeway since late December but this week the bonuses have returned! These aren't as good as the December offer of 70 AIR MILES per $50 card but are better than the 55 miles in November. With this offer you'll earn 1.2 miles per dollar on these cards or if you work the other way, we value AIR MILES at 11 to 15 cents a piece so you are essentially earning $7.70 to $10.50 with each card. You have to print out the coupons and you can find them here
I bought many cards during the last two go rounds for a lot of bonus Air Miles plus the double Membership Rewards points as I purchased them on my American Express Gold Rewards card which awards 2 points per dollar spent at grocery stores. Other credit cards you can look at using to really bump your miles/points earning on these types of purchases include (earning is per dollar spent):
American Express Air Miles Reserve Credit Card: 1 Mile/$10BMO AIR MILES World Elite MasterCard: 1 Mile/$10 CIBC Aerogold Visas: 1.5 Miles
CIBC Aventura Visas: 1.5 Points
Scotiabank American Express Platinum/Gold: 4 Points
Scotiabank American Express: 2 Points
Sears Voyage MasterCard: 1.5 Sears Club Points
TD Aeroplan Visas: 1.5 Miles
To learn more about these cards visit our Travel Rewards Credit Card Comparison page
I'm not sure if I'll partake this time but who knows my plans change every hour!
