February 4 Update: Aeroplan Costco partnership ending, Rexall launching own loyalty program and will drop AIR MILES, save up to $1,000 on Air Transat packages
– RewardsCanada.ca
The partnership between Costco and Aeroplan will come to an end on April 30. We also noticed that Primus is gone as an Aeroplan partner as well. Air Canada does really seem to be going back to it roots with Aeroplan (or whatever the new program will be called) and moving it back to a frequent flyer program rather than a coalition program as the number of non-travel or non-credit card partners is really being whittled down. Find out more about Costco and Aeroplan here. Please note that you will still be able to redeem Aeroplan Miles for Costco gift cards beyond April 30. Also on the loyalty program news front – Rexall is going to launch their own loyalty program on May 1st. As of that date they will no longer participate in the AIR MILES program. This just reiterates what we said in our podcast episode 63 and here on the blog that it really appears the model for coalition loyalty programs is past it’s peak. For many retailers now it makes more sense to run your own loyalty program as the costs associated with doing so have really come down from years ago…Why The Platinum Card from American Express is the best card to use for booking WestJet flights

At the time of booking those flights I thought this is a pretty good deal – even if we didn’t redeem points. Then after I wrote the redemption story it really confirmed in my mind that The Platinum Card is the best card on the market for booking WestJet flights with – yes even better than the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard. Don’t get me wrong – the WestJet Card is an amazing Card that both my wife and I hold in our wallets thanks to its benefits but outside of select scenarios we’ll stick to using the Platinum Card for booking WestJet flights via American Express Travel.Here’s why the card is best the to book WestJet flights with:One of the benefits of the Platinum Card from American is the International Airline Program. This benefit provides discounts for premium travel on a whole bunch of airlines including WestJet…
