Earn up to 50,000 Bonus Aeroplan Points and pay no annual fee in the 1st year with the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card

In March,  TD's Aeroplan co-brand cards moved to a points only bonus instead of points + bonus buddy pass which made a lot of individual travellers happy as for the better part of 18 months the welcome offer on this card offered less points but also a Buddy Pass. Well if you don't travel with a companion that Buddy Pass didn't provide any value for a solo traveller.  That being said, this new offer isn't just for solo travellers - this offer is just as great for couples, families or whomever, it's just that the old Buddy Pass offer was more conducive for non-solo travellers. 

Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Student Program offers flight discounts and bonus miles

 
Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles has a special program for students (both in Turkey & abroad) that provides discounts on Turkish Airlines flights, bonus Miles&Smiles miles and more. The program doesn’t state what level of student you have to be, I would assume college or university but who knows maybe high school and even lower grades of students can join as well. You have to upload proof of being a student like a student card or other document if you are not a Turkish citizen or not studying in Turkey. With Turkish Airlines flying to and from Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, Canadian students should take note of this program!
