Hi all!
I'd like to make a new thread for the Canadian version of the IAP. I've searched and it seems they are all over the place and some of them are outdated. As we all know most of the deals in the US are much better than in Canada, not much we can do there.
One of the saddest thing for AMEX Canada is that Air Canada/Aeroplan is not even part of the IAP! Though they are transfer partners for points which is different.
Anyways please post your experiences with the Program and deals you've gotten.
