Very specific routes only, more so for cash tickets where they sell onward flights via Hong Kong already

I know, but the awards will require less miles if redeemed for using Alaska Miles

Ohhh - didn't know that. Anyone know if you can redeem on the CX YVR-JFK flight that originates in HKG? I can't find anything online that specifies if redemptions are allowed for non-Asian origins/destinations.

As pointed out at rewardscanada.ca
when you log in to your Aeroplan account, look for a banner to get 500 miles for adding your email address to your profile.

Wow, wonder how many people have an account without an email address! :eek:

In the Award chart, Canada-US via CX is listed as one-way:

Y: 17.5k
PE: 20k
J: 25k
F: 35k

The alaska award chart is quite easy to browse and shows all that's allowed:

I believe the website doesn't show CX award space so you'll have to search via e.g. ba.com though.

Has anyone tried applying for the current CIBC aventura welcome bonus promo with the first year AF waived?

Curious if you are able to to get the AF rebate even if you had a CIBC card before. I realize the T&Cs say otherwise but wanted to see if there are actual datapoints suggesting it's possible.

That's not the current requirement.

Become a new Meridian Member and receive $100 when you open a Good To Grow High Interest Savings Account online and make a minimum deposit of $1,000.

The Marriott Rewards credit card does have an annual fee of $120 which is waived for the first year.

Search the internet and there was an offer for 50,000 points for a Canadian branded Marriott credit card. This included a free night in a cat. 1-4 hotel. I found this offer last Nov. and applied.

The free night in a cat. 1-4 is no longer offered as part of the welcome bonus. There is a free anniversary night in a cat. 1-5.

crimsona Feb 7, 2017 11:57 am

The anniversary night also takes its sweet time to post. Sign-up for card Feb 1 last year,no sign of either the fifteen elite nights nor the annual free night

Need both!

MBNA.ca online access issues *resolved*
 
Not sure if I should post this here, or at the MBNA Alaska Air MC thread.

The past few weeks I have not been able to sign into MBNA.ca to access my card accounts/info. So, I had to call into MBNA's online banking support (1-800-347-6262 9a-11p ET) to get assistance. The rep mentioned that it's most likely related to a number of cancelled card accounts that never got sloughed off after they were closed. She said there's no guarantees, but she'll try to clean up the account and then see if I can get back online.

So, she takes a look into it, and then gives a little sigh. Says, "you have a LOT of extra accounts on file here!". She asked if I wanted to stay on the line, or optionally hang up while she works on it, and then I can try logging in later tonight. I chose to stay online.

Ok, click-clack, clickety-clack. 15 minutes later she comes back to tell me to try logging in. BINGO! We are HOT again!

She said "the problem is that you have 1, 2, 3, 4,....7 cancelled cards on the profile!". And I said "Oh, really?" :o

And furthermore: "You have...hmm, let me see....<counting, counting, counting...> 13 closed card accounts!". And I said "Ooopsies!".

Phew...now I can see clearly which cards are still opened, and which are to be closed, so I can start another churn cycle.

How many card accounts you saw last time you signed in (2 weeks ago)? I only have 3 accounts assigned to my on banking profile. I canceled 1 some time ago and had no issues getting in until few days ago.

TBH, I don't really remember. I think it was at least 8, because I remember thinking and wondering to myself if I really did cancel the 3 Alaska cards that were listed there. But, there were also a couple of Best Western cards too. It was a mess, so now I'm glad it's all cleaned up and back to 3 live cards.
