Through December 15, all Star Alliance airlines are offering status matches to their Star Alliance Gold levels for those with Hong Kong addresses that can prove status with another program. You also have to have one flight to credit to one of those programs. You simply have to register and send either your elite card or mileage statement [...]

There are a few great promotions expiring in just a few days (on August 31), so I figured I’d point them out once more for those that were waiting to sign up, given that there was an incentive to wait with a couple of these promotions:
Free US Airways Silver status for 90 days
5,000 mile bonus for transferring [...]

I’m trying to book a first class award seat for my mom for next week to Frankfurt using Aeroplan miles in Lufthansa First Class. One of the nice things about Aeroplan is that they don’t do any Starnet blocking, aside from a slight “issue” they have with displaying some Swiss award availability. So I did my [...]

Through August 31, Aeroplan is offering 1,000 bonus miles when converting hotel points to anywhere between 5,000 and 19,999 Aeroplan miles, or 5,000 bonus miles when converting hotel points into 20,000 Aeroplan miles. Of course the timing of this couldn’t be worse for me, given that I converted SPG points into Aeroplan miles just last week.
Either way, this [...]

Last week I posted about Ted’s final act of revenge on me, whereby I was booked in first class on a 757 from Tampa to Chicago as part of my Aeroplan first class award to Europe/Asia, and the flight got downgraded to Ted in the meantime. Ya’ll provided great feedback, and I went with the [...]

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I have a pretty sweet first class Star Alliance award planned thanks to Aeroplan. The first part of that award is Tampa to Chicago, and fortunately it was scheduled to be a 757 with first class award availability. Awesome, no Ted!
Well, today I checked my award, and [...]

I’ve spent a substantial amount of time over the past couple weeks figuring out how I should blow 240,000 Aeroplan miles. I was looking for a trip for my brother and me in August, and I was trying to make the journey just as fun as the destinations, and hopefully try out a few new airlines. [...]

As much as we like to complain about United’s notorious Starnet blocking, it seems like they’re not the only ones. I’ve raved about Air Canada’s Aeroplan program as an excellent choice for transferring American Express Membership Rewards points, and the program is no doubt still lucrative, but they seem to have an “issue” with award [...]

Apparently Air Canada’s Aeroplan program will be making four positive changes on December 8. While it’s not fully published/public information, it seems to be accurate nonetheless. The changes mostly involve additional stopovers being allowed, but there’s one particularly cool change: it’ll be possible to make an award from North America to Asia a round the world trip, [...]
