In Canada, I know some travel agencies would allow cash backs up to 5% mostly when you use certain premium credit cards - it's a 5% cash back. Then, there is another one which returns in form of travel certificates up to a value of 7.5% in return. Say a 10,000 ticket will really cost you $9,250. However, I don't think this is what the 1st-air.net is doing because the examples I gave above are perks offered by major chartered banks in Canada so it's 100% reliable. In addition, by paying with a CC as opposed to paying in cheque or wires, you delay the payment of your actual tickets up to 2 months of time so the result is you also earn 2 months of interest on this money that you will be paying had you not paid on the spot. And considering the current interest rate in Canada, you can add another 0.5% of saving into that to make it 8%.

I have no idea what the 1st-air.net is but when I click on the page, many of the links are no-functional either contact them, home page, or about the company. I must say I am skeptical.
