Reading the slick brochure that came in the mail then comparing it with the legal booklet enclosed makes you realize how deceptive these guys are. I also have a CIBC gold aeroplan card so I just put everything through it
This all just stinks, eh?
I am looking at the info. that came in my package...I don't see anything about the increase of $500 for membership...

I did notice that the Holt Renfrew Select tier (Holts Platinum card?) still has the $1/1.5 MR points that CAN be trasnferred to FF programs, including Aeroplan. Hmmmmmmm...
