You're right that the page has changed content.
The promo was to last until December 31, 2017, reported one blog earlier.

I dunno if this is a temporary bug, or if they've done something else.

I think it is similar to Aeroplan's Classic and Market Fare.

What it shows as the "starting from" in their mile chart is the standard AM ticket, and as availability dwindles or prices for certain flights go up, the miles required when you search the flights may differ. I don't think there's any way to check that without explicitly searching for the date / flights you want.

I can't do a proper cut and paste due to lack of skills on the iPad but here is what I got for Sunday 24 December to Saturday 6 January. (The first and last days of holiday - Saturday to Sunday - were booked up).

Delta flights are absurd at 7,724 Air Miles. But American Airlines has six options at 2,600 Air Miles and $139.91 taxes.

It may be better availability with two one ways. If you give me your ideal dates I can look it up for you.

There is no availability round trip for those dates. On anything.

One way YVR-IAH on AC is 3,261 plus $121.23 but nothing direct and it leaves at 0615 hours. Later flights for 3,770. But again that's just one way.

And ugh... 4,312 for your return plus $52.14 on AC. Nothing direct.

No other carriers come up on the one ways for those dates.

If you depart one day early and return one day later you could get 6,706 plus $189.14 round trip. But again there is a stopover each way.

Here is the details for one of those options:

Hi team!

What's the 'it' card that has airport lounge access? Is still the AMEX Platinum?

Has anyone tried the other options like BMO World Elite MC? Won't be using it as much nowadays (maybe 2-3 visits annually?)

yes, Amex Plat is the only card with "unlimited" free PP. There's a couple cards that give a 3-10 free visits a year (Scotiabank, BMO and Amex Airmiles I believe?) so those might be worth looking at for you too if you're not planning to travel much.

I just tried the link, worked for me and I was approved. Waiting to see what I get in the mail. :D

ecgz88 Jun 23, 2017 8:51 am

for RBC Avion, it's 100K points for MAX 2K tickets, so Can you buy it online for Canada-Asia Business tickets that's say worth 2.2k+$300 fees, and pay $500 out of pocket?

crimsona Jun 23, 2017 10:09 am

Fairly sure premium economy was the highest you were allowed to book, no?

ecgz88 Jun 23, 2017 10:43 pm

check here looks like can redeem for business, but I'm not sure for a total 2.6K tickets. can I redeem 100k points+$600, or I need have 160K (100K+60K at 0.01 each) points for the redeem https://www.rbcrewards.com/#!/faq#accordionMain-travel

So, moving from great points offers to crummy points offers...
Is this the worst earning rate ever?
Am I reading this correctly?

If I spend $3,000 at this pub, that makes me eligible for... a $10 voucher ?!!
