I just did a product switch from the Aventura Infinite to the AeroGold Infinite. I'm not really clear on whether or not I'll get the 15k AP bonus, but either way, at least my credit check wasn't for nothing!

I may do that too, but I wonder how annual fee gets calculated, since AeroGold isn't FYF publicly and I didn't pay AF on Aventura either (due to YYZ signup)

I did pay it (already on my 2nd year). The told me that the AF will be prorated and appear on my new AP card. So it sounds like first the AF will post, then a prorated credit from my AV AF will offset it. So in your case it seems that you probably won't be able to carry over the FYF but 15k is still worth paying $120 for...barely though. I did it because I will be doing some heavy spend and would much prefer AP over AV.

Jumped on thd IHG cap ome bandwagon as well, just in case they do cancel it! But I would understand them on focusing on the Costco deal, it must be costing them quite a lot.
What I hope though, is that other cards will appear im the coming years with the partners that cap one has cancelled such as delta or ihg (if rumor) proves true, could be good for a bank like scotia or bmo to beef up their cc portfolio with partners rewards card

Hello, i'm looking for some advice on how best to maximize pts/miles on future on going work travel. I just moved into a position that would have me traveling for 4 days once a month to the maritime provinces. I'm currently an aeroplan, spg, marriot, national/enterprise member. I hold the amex gold, amex spg, marriott and td aeroplan card.
My company uses a travel booking service but i'm able to add all my frequent travel #'s and will benefit from pts/miles.
They use strictly air canada for flights, no pref for hotels and enterprise/national for cars.
I currently have my TD aeroplan setup to buy my flights and my marriot card setup to purchase the hotel nights. I will do my best to use marriot hotels when possible.
Any further advice on how to maximize this opportunity? I'm also not opposed to joining more loyalty programs if needed.
Thanks for the help!

Does it even matter which card then?
Just provide all the FFP # you can - Aeroplan, SPG, Marriott, etc...

Sorry for not being clear... They use a corporate travel booking service but I use my own credit cards and can add all my frequent traveler numbers.
In regards to the Amex gold vs the TD aeroplan I assumed using the aero card to book AC flights would net me bonuses. I will look into it more but if Amex is the better option I'll switch out the card.
The first trip I booked with my boss and he's a Hilton guy so we're staying at the Hampton inn but future trips I'll stay at the Marriott as my wife and I booked Atlantis for December and were short some MArriott pts.

Obviously, use Chase Marriott CC for all Marriott hotels & all Dining
AMEX Gold for everything else on Travel (2X), Gas, Grocery, Pharmacy
Don't think TD Aeroplan has much bonus, and you can't even use its perks (priority check-in, free bag) as it's only for AEROPLAN reward flights on AC metals

Thank you all for the replies above... its a website booking service and they allow you add a card for hotel booking and card for flight booking. Thanks for the tip regarding perks only available on aero reward tix. i'll switch out the card to the amex gold.
