Special mileage offers with Air Canada?

Hello.

I was wondering if Air Canada ever has any special mileage offers for doubling or tripling airmiles? And if so, does anybody know of any current specials?

Also, are there any good credit card offers right now with an offer for xxxxx amount of miles when you sign on and also a very minimal annual fee?

Cheers,

gtrekker

You can check out the Aeroplan Bonus Mile Listing which lists the majority of Air, Hotel, Car and Miscellaneous offers available to Aeroplan members.

Shameless plug for my site

Destina has a nice special on right now; YVR-HKG (add another $80 for YYZ-HKG). If you do it this month, and pre-register appropriately, will net you:

15,000 Bonus AP miles
~13,000 normal status AP miles
7500 Roundtrip Int'l bonus
500 bonus destina miles
=====
~36000 AP miles ex YVR
~38000 AP miles ex YYZ

Turns out to be roughly 3.6 cents/mile. Not a bad deal for a quick trip to HKG and comparable economics on a per-mile basis as signing up for one of those credit cards.

All the details at www.destina.ca .

The Hong Kong Bonus:

Earn 15,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles—enough for a free short-haul flight in North America—when you fly to Hong Kong with Air Canada

Between January 26 and March 31, 2004, when† you fly Air Canada non-stop scheduled flights between Toronto and Hong Kong and between Vancouver and Hong Kong (round-trip or two one-way segments), you will automatically earn 15,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles*—on top of the Aeroplan Miles that you would normally receive. That's enough for a free‡ short-haul flight in North America


(source: www.aeroplan.com/en/offers/promotion_012604.jsp)

As for Destina, go their home page, and under the heading of "What's New", there is an item called 'Exclusive Package'. Click on that, and you will find the details.
