airmilesshops.ca offering 10x Rewards Miles for early Black Friday shopping + MORE Nov 26th

Here is a friendly reminder that the current bonus of up to 40,000 Aeroplan Miles on the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card will come to end this weekend as new offers will released on December 2.Now before you jump on the offer you should be aware that the requirements to reach 40,000 miles are a bit tougher than the 30,000 miles offer earlier in the year. When you receive the card you will be awarded with 15,000 Aeroplan miles on the first purchase made. Then you will receive double Aeroplan miles on eligible purchases in the first three months, up to 20,000 miles, for a total of 35,000 miles.  This is all with the first year annual fee of $120 waived on the primary card. You can also earn an additional 5,000 miles when you add an authorized user to your account (an additional card, formerly known as supplementary card). The latter however is still subject to the $50 annual fee. Of course if you have a TD All Inclusive Banking plan you don’t ever pay fees on the primary or first additional card…

In some interesting route news – Virgin Atlantic is now code sharing on WestJet’s flights between London and Calgary, Halifax, Toronto and Vancouver as well as on many connecting flights out of those cities. This is good news for WestJet as they lost their British Airways partnership whent they started flying to London (BA wasn’t happy about that!) so it’s nice to see them have a new codeshare partner. We have reached out to WestJet to see if this partnership will go beyond just codesharing and develop into a reciprocal frequent flyer partnership.  Although if some other sources are correct you can earn Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles on these flights so long as they are booked on Virgin’s site and carry the Virgin flight number.

Don’t forget to think about money when planning your next trip. While organizing flights, hotels, and vaccinations are all essential, getting your credit cards in order before taking off can save you a lot of money. A little preparation can go a long way.  
Make Sure Your Credit Cards Are Accepted 
While credit cards are generally accepted all over Canada, that might not be the case where you’re travelling. Some countries may not have the infrastructure to take your credit card. In some cases, stores and restaurants might have high credit card minimum purchases due to bank fees. Make sure to do some research to find out whether your preferred payment methods are common and that your credit card’s payment network (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) is accepted. Managed responsibly, this is a case where it can be beneficial to have multiple cards on different networks.  
Notify Your Credit Card Company 
You don’t want to arrive at your destination, try to pay for something, and find out your card has been declined…
