New Aeroplan Bonus Offers from Rocketmiles – Double Miles for first timers, 1,000 Miles for the rest
– RewardsCanada.ca
The Rocketmiles offers for Aeroplan members keep changing on us! First it was 3,000 bonus miles for your first booking made up to September 30, then that was increased to 4,000 bonus miles and that offer is still live here. However there are two new offers now out that run until December 31st for booking with no set end date for the actual stays.The first offer is for first time bookers:Receive Double Aeroplan Miles when you make your first Rocketmiles booking booked via the special promotion page at www.rocketmiles.com/aeroplan-double. The first time booking bonus can only be earned once per member. Until Dec 31, 17So which first time booking offer should you choose? Well if you book after September 30th that’s easy, the Double Aeroplan Miles offer. However if you are booking over the next 9 days check out both offers and see whether the 4,000 comes out ahead of the double miles. If it does, book that one otherwise go with Double Miles. Chances are if it is a budget or low price hotel the 4,000 miles will be better while higher end, more expensive hotels will probably come out better with Double MilesThe second offer that also runs until December 31st is for returning Rocketmiles bookers and is valid for one booking:1,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles on your next Rocketmiles hotel stay booked via the special promotion page at www…4 fine-print traps to watch out for in credit card rewards programs
