Any ideas on how to avoid paying the GST/HST when sharing miles in the current US Airways promotion? Would entering a US address for the credit card billing address work?

It's just a guess, but if your credit card really has a US address, then you should be fine as long as you change your address to that US one in your profile; otherwise, if addresses don't match you may have a problem.

Better off getting an Amex, though - still 30,000 miles, but no fee

I doubt they would sneak a huge stick in the wheels like this, but with all the CIBC/Aeroplan mess lately.............. we need some official position on this, I think, since on www.cibcaventura.com, it still says you can convert to Aeroplan just fine.

I'd probably take them to court. The Aventura website clearly states "transferable to Aeroplan". If they want a new program that isn't, I'm okay with it, BUT CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE. That's deceptive marketing right there. It's like having an Aeroplan program that can only redeem for toasters.
