Save up to 50% for stays at the new Westin Nanea Ocean Villas Maui!
– RewardsCanada.ca
One of our most favourite places to travel to is the island of Maui. The Rewards Canada family has made Maui nearly a yearly vacation destination since 2008. Each trip has involved points and miles somehow, whether it was redeeming Aeroplan miles to fly to Kahului in Business Class or to earn thousands of extra miles thanks to bonus mile and point offers. For each of our trips to Maui we have only stayed in one place, The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas and all but one those stays were booked via Maui Hawaii Vacations.Related:Hotel Review: Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas – Maui (2012) Hotel Review: Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas – Maui (2016)The reason why we book through Maui Hawaii Vacations and not Starwood directly is that Naomi who owns the company has negotiated amazing rates and perks for staying at the amazing resort. Typically rates are up to 50% less than what Starwood charges and usually 25% or more cheaper than OTA’s like Hotwire and Hotels.com!

WestJet RBC World Elite MasterCard changes coming on November 1 – Lounge Access, Concierge Service and increased annual fee
– RewardsCanada.ca
Shout out to Jon V. who alerted us to these changes coming to the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard as of November 1st. The changes are both good and bad (mostly good) as WestJet and RBC continually work at evolving the card into a stronger product. The good news is lounge access and concierge service the bad news is increased fees for both the primary and secondary cardholders.First lets look at the good newsLounge Access The cards will come MasterCard Airport Experiences, which is provided by LoungeKey. LoungeKey is a third party company that provides access to Business Class lounges much like Priority Pass except no everyone can get a membership with LoungeKey. They specifically partner with credit card companies to offer the service so you must have a credit card that is partnered with them. To our best knowledge the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard is the first card in Canada to offer the MasterCard Airport Experience provided by LoungeKey. Much like basic Priority Pass memberships there is still a fee to access the lounges, you are simply getting the annual membership fee waived by having the credit card…Charged Up! podcast: Mastering your credit card rewards
