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.

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.

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.

Thank you so much! I checked 12/22-01/01 UA or AC non stop flight $1700+ , how many airmiles will I need for these 2 airlines?
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).

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.

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 ?!!
