You’ve seen us cover various The UPS Store Aeroplan promotions since the became an Aeroplan partner in 2013 and once again a new promo popped up yesterday for new or existing Get More members. Get More is the The UPS Store’s program that anyone can join for free and if you haven’t joined then you are one of the lucky ones who can get the 750 miles for as little as $1+tax.

So there you have it, join The UPS Store Get More Program and spend at least $1 at the UPS Store (an envelope or two should do it) to get yourself the 751.5 Aeroplan miles. Of course if you are already a Get More member you can get the 250 Miles for that $1 spend…May 6 Update: Porter adds 1st checked bag fees, Aegean bonus for flying on Air Canada, Rocketmiles bonus for Mexico stays

Porter to charge for 1st checked bag, four decent Aeroplan promos, and an Aegean bonus for flying on Air Canada News, Tips & Tricks Porter Airlines has updated their checked baggage policy as they will now charge for each piece of luggage that is checked in including their flights within Canada. The changes take affect on May 14th. For an airline that diiferentiates itself based on service and has a hard enough time competing against Air Canada and WestJet this is a poor move in our opinion as their competitiors still don’t charge for the 1st checked bag within Canada and WestJet doesn’t for the first bag on flights to the U.S.. Mind you I would wager a guess that a good proportion of Porter’s customers don’t actually check baggage and strictly do carry on. In the bonus offer section you’ll a bonus from Greece’s Aegean Airlines for flying on select Air Canada Transatlantic flights. This should be of particular interest to those people going for the ‘easier Star Alliance Gold Status’ trick by crediting flights to Aegean’s Miles&Bonus program…
