Dozens of rewards programs and credit card companies promise huge savings on that next big trip, but travel expert and founder of rewardscanada.com, Patrick Sojka, says some programs offer more than others.
Sojka’s website ranks American Express’ Membership Rewards as the best all-around option for those looking to save on travel.
The next best option is Aeroplan, Sojka said, because it offers a chance to earn air miles almost anywhere you shop.
“If you can redeem those miles for business or first class flights with Air Canada or their partners,” he said, “you’re getting a huge return on your credit card spending or those miles that you’ve earned through hotel stays and flights.”
The downside to the program, he said, is limited availability of flights during busy travel seasons.
