Today we start a new feature on Rewards Canada called Earning Stories. Similar to our Redemption Stories which we have run for a few years these Earning Stories will look at select mileage/points earning actions that we ourselves and also our readers have accomplished that are worth sharing. There are so many ways to earn miles and points that if we covered them all there would hundreds of posts each day so these Earning Stories will look at those significant ones that usually involve a bonus offer promotion or perhaps a free miles/points offer that we weren’t sure would post but did end up receiving. If you are a miles/points rookie be sure to keep an eye on these stories as they are another great way to learn on how to maximize your miles and points and to help fulfill our mission of being Canada’s Gateway to more Miles more Points and more Rewards.There have already been a few posts surrounding our recent trip to Palm Springs and this one is for our car rental.
