Yep - I did a big transfer earlier this year. And literally 2 weeks later there was a big bonus for CIBC partner transfers! DOH! I called in and they gave me some bonus points (not the full transfer bonus, but they took care of me).
Moral of the story: try to time your transfers for bonus time!

I really enjoyed this card, but after I reaped the sign-up rewards (which also included the Priority Pass membership and 4 lounge passes) I couldn't justify keeping it and having to pay the annual fee, so I downgraded it to a no-fee card (it's a long standing account of mine). It's nice to have the lounge passes as an annual incentive, but I much prefer the Cap One Aspire MC where I get $350 worth of points sign-up and $150 worth of points a year (with a lower annual fee, to boot).

1000 Aeroplan through RaceWings game
Air Canada is running their Earn Your Wings promotion.
If you registered early (before September 24) for the promotion, earning 1000 Aeroplan points is easy.
1. (If you haven't already), create a new Facebook account (so that your posts won't annoy all your friends).
2. Using the link on the Air Canada Earn Your Wings website, make posts to your Facebook account about how great the promo is. Maybe split those posts over a few days.
This worked for me; I earned enough RaceWings points to generate 1000 Aeroplan miles. And I annoyed 0 friends, because I have told 0 friends about that particular Facebook account.
If you did not register early, you can still earn enough points to almost reach the 1000 miles threshold. One transaction of almost any travel activity (hotel stay, car rental, flight) should be enough to get you the 1000 point bonus.
