Get 150 Aeroplan miles with first purchase at UPS Store.

Also, you get 500 additional miles if you earn the miles with a Get More! small business card.
You just need to declare a small business to get the card.

So, you can get 650 Aeroplan miles for the first purchase.

No, there's no fee for either. The Get More card is a simple frequent-buyer card. Be sure that the UPS Store clerk records your 9-digit number into their system, for you to be able to get credit.

Data point

Sadly, last time I tried to ship International letter to Asia, UPS with Get More card (10% off) is still $10 more expensive ($70) than Puroletter international ($60)

Does this count for this thread?

Buying GC's at Esso with the Supreme Grade 5X promo using an Amex gold card? Turned $60 in gas and $200 GC into 630 Aeroplan miles. Got 520 Amex MR points too.

Looks like it's 5X on all gas as of today (with 3 fillups)

Sounds good to me.
But I don't understand the math for how you get to 630 Aeroplan miles.

If anyone has the MBNA Best Western Card how and where do the points show up? I've set up the card on the MBNA site, have 1K spent. No do I have to wait until the next statement for the miles to show? Then what? I just don't see anything on my MBNA account page. It's also going to be tight to get the bonus miles for transferring to AP. 2K extra miles.

Yes, the points should show on your next MBNA statement. This last time, for me, the points did not show; MBNA had failed to record my Best Western account number. The MBNA phone rep has told me that they would instruct BW to credit me the points manually, which could take up to a month.

Thanks! I just set up a BW account last week, better make a call pronto!

wouldn't cash andp oints for 0.7 cents be cheaper?

Yes, the Points & Cash "workaround":p is cheaper.

But I believe one needs to have 5,000 points in the account, to be able to make a Points & Cash reservation in the first place, that would allow you to do the workaround.

So buying points straight up from IHG, using this bonus, is for anyone who is starting with 0 points, or not many points.
