Earn 100% Bonus Aeroplan miles for flights booked today and tomorrow. Good for travel Jan 9 – Apr 3, 2019
– RewardsCanada.ca
Air Canada has come out with an early Boxing Day offer of 100% bonus Aeroplan Miles (double miles) on all eligible flights that are booked today and tomorrow. The offer is good for flights flown between January 9 and April 3, 2019. Once again the terms state only the first person on a reservation gets the bonus (come on Air Canada, that’s the worst term and condition possible, even worse than the New Bookings only that we see with all their promotions) so if you are booking for more than one person you’ll either forego the miles for the rest of the people on your reservation or have everyone book their own flights.Find out more about this offer here.Terms of this offer:You must be an Aeroplan Member. If you are not an Aeroplan Member, you can visit the Aeroplan website (www.aeroplan.comExternal site which may not meet accessibility guidelines.) and enroll today. Membership is free.100% Bonus Aeroplan Miles for eligible flights flown will be awarded for new bookings only made between December 21 and 22, 2018, by 19:59 Eastern Time inclusively, for travel on eligible flights between January 9, 2019, and April 3, 2019…December 20 Update: SPG Amex will have 15 elite night credit added early in 2019, United adding Toronto-San Francisco flights & more!

Earlier this year when the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card from American Express underwent some changes due to the complete integration of SPG and Marriott Rewards into one program it was noted in a letter from Amex that the card would soon offer qualifying night credits. When it was first announced it wasn’t stated how many nights but at that time we assumed it would probably be 15 just like the extinct Chase Marriott Premier Visa card offered. Well there is now confirmation that the card will offer those 15 nights starting sometime early in the New Year and it will be an annual benefit. (Source Reddit)United Airlines will be adding new service between Toronto and San Francisco. The flights that start on March 31, 2019 will operate twice daily and offer good connection times to United’s Asia and South Pacific flights. Of course their Star Alliance partner Air Canada also serves the route and additions are always good for looking for routes to redeem miles for from Aeroplan, MileagePlus or other Star Alliance programs…
