July 18 Update: Major changes coming to LifeMiles award flight mileage requirements, Marriott updates its Plus Points promotion
– RewardsCanada.ca
A busier day to close off the week! Aeroplan contest winner, not so good news from Avianca and Marriott… News, Tips & Tricks Congrats to Jason S. of Newfoundland who is the winner of our Aeroplan Turns 30 contest! Thanks to all of you who participated. A few months ago we let you know about the beta launch of Marriott Rewards Plus Points where you could earn points for completing social media activities.

I know I won’t be making the effort to complete 80 actions in a month as it a big time draw so this easy point earning strategy will dwindle for me as I’ll get points each month for the Marriott follows I already have but not as much as before. You can find out more at www.marriottrewardspluspoints.com Avianca LifeMiles sent out emails to their members over the past 24 hours or so giving advance notice of some upcoming award chart changes that take effect on October 15th…
