We have updated our feature The Ultimate Guide to Credit Card & Loyalty Programs for the All Inclusive Vacationer. When it comes to travel loyalty programs and credit cards, all inclusive vacations are often neglected. Think about it, have you ever seen a credit card ad detailing an all inclusive vacation? No, it’s almost always flights and to a lesser extent hotel stays. That’s because we've been trained to think that credit card and travel reward programs are just for flights.

One area that many loyalty programs don't do very well in is letting their members know when a partnership of theirs is ending. Such was the case here as we had no idea of this news until Randy S. told us on our Facebook page that Home Hardware is no longer a partner where you can earn Air Canada Aeroplan points.
