I'd be really shocked if Aimia had the balls to devalue Aeroplan now, after all this. I would think the miles would be safe for another year or two at least, up to the point where they'll be discontinuing their contract and Star Alliance seats will stop being available - then the miles will be worthless.
I wouldn't hesitate to keep miles in the account now, though maybe not in the millions (as the credit card churners might have). |

Data point:
I tried again. I get the same error message. As you may recall, the GCR website is up and referring the card, but MBNA's website had de-listed the card. Each time, at the end of the application, and after a long wait, I got an error message. Good news: Despite getting an error message at the end of the application, I just received an Alaska Airlines MC in the mail. I made 2 applications over the span of about a week. I'll let you know if I get a second envelope from MBNA, too. :D Bad news?: I'm not very familiar with GCR's interface... - I have tracking ID's in my Click History for both card applications - GCR interface says "• You have 0 active referrals." Should it say that I have 1 (or 2!) active referrals?? |

Active referrals are people that you've referred to join GCR. Don't worry about that ;)

Is there any way to get the Canadian Diners Club Rewards Mastercard ?

So...my experience with the CIBC Aeroplan Privilege card turned out pretty well.
This card has a $399 annual fee, but 50k Aeroplan points and zone 2 boarding on AC are pretty good return on that fee. The fine print said that if you had a CIBC card previously you wouldn't be eligible for the bonus. My points just posted today (25k + 25k for hitting $1000 spending). Sa-weet. |

Not really a 'bonus" considering the devalued it by 30% two weeks ago.

so if the recent bonus isn't a bonus but the bonus was a bonus 4 years ago, then it must be a bonus :D.

Yes, but at a rate on par with other "third party" cards -- which will make them as useless as Air Miles for getting a business class flight to Asia.

I think that is the key statement in the Air Canada press release. I suspect there will be no more J class redemptions - putting this program on a par with all the other mediocre 1% return programs. Ughhhh. What to do except collect Amex MR and see where that program leads? I plan to burn my remaining Aeroplan miles. Anyone have suggestions for an alternate Star Alliance program in which to collect miles?
