Air Canada has taken note of the current oneworld Transatlantic bonus offers from AA, BA, and Finnair and have released their own bonus. They decided not to match the oneworld Airlines offer of the U.K. and Europe rather only focus on the U.K. but have also upped the ante on Business Class fares by offering up to 120,000 bonus miles compared to oneworld airlines 115,000 miles while the premium and full fare economy offer is matched with a maximum of 30,000 bonus miles although Air Canada’s is for flex fare and higher which at times is not full fare economy like the oneworld offers require. Finally the AC offer also runs a full month longer than the oneworld offer (although registration and booking must be completed by the same date of August 7).Offer Details Earn up to 120,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you fly Air Canada or Air Canada Rouge between Canada and the UK.

New research confirms millenial consumers are increasingly opting to pay with credit over cash, and that could spell big changes in the way transactions are handled for any merchant catering to that demographic. The spike in credit card use is linked to the rollout of new payment technologies, which are gaining popularity with young people, according to a recently released report from the Bank of Canada. Credit cards enabled with “flash” technology no longer require holders to swipe the magnetic strip or sign a receipt. Designed to mimic the convenience of cash, the cards come with a microchip that can complete a transaction within seconds with only a wave or tap at a payment terminal. Reinforcing consumer behaviour is that more merchants have invested in newer terminals and now have the ability to process these types of transactions. Certain niche businesses may benefit from the shift away from cash. In the near-term, having to process more credit card payments could eat away at the margins of small businesses…May 25 Update: RBC British Airways Visa Infinite sign up bonus doubled, CAA Rewards MasterCard added to charts, Air France Business Class sale out of YVR

A relatively busy Monday with new bonuses, news, travel deals and more! News, Tips & TricksRBC has upped the bonus on their RBC British Airways Visa Infinite card to 30,000 Avios from the standard 15,000. This is an OK bonus for the card considering the great value in their short haul rewards out of Canada (See here for details on those) which equates to roughly 3 round trips for the $150 annual fee but it is not as good as the bonus we saw in the Fall of 2013 of 45,000 Avios.
