WestJet Rewards: $50 Bonus WestJet dollars when booking Plus fares on select routes + MORE Aug 18th

Even with bad or no credit it is possible to get a vehicle. Here are 6 keys to know before you make your purchase

When I first became a parent, it never occurred to me that playing the role of Tooth Fairy would be so complicated.
I’d always thought a toonie was the going rate for teeth but, according to a new survey published by Visa Canada, I’m underpaying. In Ontario, the going rate is—on average—$2.95 while kids in Quebec get around $4.08 per tooth. Canadian kids under the age of 13 receive $3.44 per tooth, which is more than their American counterparts who receive an average of only $2.19. All in all, kids will earn around $68.80 for their set of baby teeth. Visa even created an online calculator so you can track the average rate for your kid’s demographic.
It would be great if every potential Tooth Fairy out there would commit themselves to Visa’s unbiased calculation. Nothing is worse than some parent wrecking the whole system by placing a $20 under their kid’s pillow. “But it was the their first/last front tooth/bicuspid/molar!” they might whine in defense. Too bad, I say! We parents have to stick together when it comes to this Tooth Fairy business…

Great news out of Starwood Preferred Guest, they have added the Korean Air SKYPASS program as a new airline partner. This means you can now transfer Starpoints to SKYPASS at a 1:1 ratio and of course you can take advantage of Starwood’s bonus of 5,000 extra miles if you transfer 20,000 Starpoints at a time. We have updated our Airlines & Hotels that you can earn miles or points with Canadian Credit Cards chart to reflect this. I think this is great news for Canadians seeing that Korean Air serves both Vancouver and Toronto (with occasional charters to Calgary but those you can’t redeem points for) and prior to this new transfer option the only way to earn SKYPASS miles outside of SkyTeam flights, car rental or hotel stays was by transferring Diners Club Club Rewards points to SKYPASS but as you know with our coverage of Diners Club, they aren’t accepting new cardholders! Not to mention the 1:1 transfer rate from SPG is better than the 1.25:1 from Diners Club. This means Canadians can technically earn SKYPASS miles by using the Starwood Preferrred Guest Credit Card from American Express…

WestJet Rewards has launched a new bonus offer for booking Plus fares on select routes across their network. The offer is for $50 Bonus WestJet dollars each way so if you are booking a round trip in Plus you’ll actually earn $100 bonus dollars. Remember that as of September 14th Plus seats get enhanced as the middle seat in the Plus seating section on the 737s will now be blocked. Of course with that comes higher priced Plus fares so hopefully this bonus will counteract that increase for some of you! Also you’ll see Calgary-Toronto is included and that route should see the new WestJet Boeing 767′s on it sometime in September so you can try out the new wider Plus seats if you are flying that route.Offer DetailsEarn $50 Bonus WestJet dollars when you book and fly on a Plus fare on select WestJet routes in Canada, to the U.S. and Hawaii.

Lots to bring you this Tuesday! News, Tips & Tricks The increased sign up bonus of 40,000 Points and no annual fee in the first year for the TD First Class Visa Infinite Card has been extended to October 30th from an originally scheduled end date of August 31st. Now as we mentioned here a short while ago, the card just got devalued on August 16th in regards to the redemptions for the ‘any travel’ feature. That being said the card does retain the same value (1.5% return) if you redeem those points via Expedia for TD. Which means, if you know you can take advantage of redeeming via this method this card can provide you with $200 in free travel credit or I guess even with Expedia, $160 in any sort of travel. This extension has been reflected on our Credit Card comparison charts. Aeroplan is soon going to require a Call Centre PIN when you call in for redemptions and/or help with your account. I forsee us getting some emails about forgotten PINS as we get emails from people who have lost Aeroplan cards and need new ones, people looking for their Aeroplan balance, etc…
