Was calling in to cancel my Gold Business card and express interest in the Gold Personal. Agent said she didn't want me to incur a credit inquiry while not get bonus! Very nice of her:)

In other disappointing AMEX Canada news today:
1) AMEX Canada not part of Aeroplan's transfer bonus announced today.
2) AMEX Canada not part of Ethiad's transfer bonus announced yesterday while many (nearly all?) other AMEX countries get to play: http://www.etihadguest.com/en/earn-m...inancial/amex/

Disappointing news for RBC avion users
 

Twice a year andf or many years, 50% transfer bonuses to Avios have been offered by RBC avion.

Today a new statement shows an offer until Dec. 15 but for a 30% bonus only.

With the devaluation of BA Avios points, things are not looking good for CC collectors.

Is that confirmed or just an error on the Etihad website? Your link is for all point transfers, not just the 25% bonus. The Canadian AMEX website still has Etihad as a 4:3 transfer partner.

I would guess that Canadian Amex does work for this promotion

It does.

What are the benefits of Etihad?

You can redeem for American Airlines flights and a bunch of other partners. Etihad is not part of an alliance but have individual alliances with a good variety of partners throughout the big 3 alliances.

And redeeming on partners seems to be way better than redeeming on Etihad flights themselves

Thank you for information!

The question of whether or not transfers from Amex Canada qualify for the 25% bonus has been definitively answered: They replied to an inquiry by rewardscanada.ca and the Etihad webpage has been updated to include Canada.
Apartments here i come!! :)

I truly hope you can find space. After the AA deval earlier this week, I checked F availability on one route, DFW-AUH. Not one day available through 10/16. Admittedly, it's only one route, but prior to the deval, there were lots of F suites on that route. I hope you can find what you want! I flew apartments, AUH-LHR in May. It was fun, for sure!

No, it's spelled correctly. Try canadiankilometres.com and see where it gets you...

Whoops, guess he's the one who misspelled it to start with... :P

Chase had post some info about the Sears MC moving over to Scotiabank:

https://www.chase.com/online/canada/scotiabank-main.htm

I read thru it quickly and can't find whether they will continue "no fx" feature on the card. But it does look like they will discontinue the Sears Card and the Sears Voyage MC, the only card they are keeping is the Sears MC.

I haven't applied the Rogers MC that was mentioned by Toronto1970 on post #2648. I am just waiting for an email from Rogers asking me to apply (which usually lead to some additional bonus :))

alc,

I received something in the email or postal mail, about a month ago. I don't think there was any special bonus offer other than something like $30 welcome bonus, but I wasn't interested in the card so I ignored it. I do recall though that it said I was pre-approved to get the card, so at least it would save a credit pull. But, these days that just means it's saving me 1 or 2 points in the ding-o-meter. :p Plus, it just means another card to heap on the pile, and I think you have to setup your Rogers bill as a PAD to get the fees waived. Incentive was too small for me, so I blinked and looked elsewhere.
