stupid question...the cashback is actual cashback, not just to be applied to your rogers bill right?

Not a stupid question, since it's not an easy answer. The "big print" is that the credit can be applied against any Rogers charges on your card. But the "fine print" allows you to request it as a cashback (or it might be a statement credit) each December. I've never actually tried the latter since I have a Fido bill that more than covers the credit each month, but I think others have posted that they have got it back in December.

In fact it says "before December". So one must call in November.

I know it's not for everyone because of the fee but CIBC has the Aeroplan privilege card offering 50k points again. I like the zone 2 boarding perk.

Alaska mileage points question....What is the best card to apply for to transfer points to Alaska. I already have mbna Alaska & I see that SPG has gone to $$ for sign up not points. Is there another card? Cobalt looks like it takes a year to get the sign up points? Thanks for your help!

Wait until the new SPG card gets introduced in August, probably

You can transfer AMEX to SPG. From SPG, either convert it straight to AS or through Marriott Travel Package if you have enough points.

Are the Cobalt & Gold rewards cards the only ones with sign up points from amex right now that transfer to SPG? And they are 2:1 correct?

All Amex points convert to SPG.

I think I read on RFD that people who used the link with the affiliate code removed did not get the bonus automatically - I personally used the Rewards Canada affiliate link because of this.

I've always done that. Never had a problem.

Hey all - long time lurker, first time poster
Has anyone recently applied for the 20k SPG signup bonus for the SPG Amex intended for previous marriot visa holders (however it is publicly available)
Cant post the link yet but if you google "HURRY – Last Chance to get the Starwood American Express Credit Card!" you'll see it on the Canadian kilometers blog, which sends you to amex official website with the offer still there.

I've never had an SPG Amex before (didn't have the marriot visa either) and i'd like to apply if I would be able to actually get the 20k points. The statement credit isn't worth it, and I already have Amex Cobalt and Biz Plat, so I'd only want this for the 20k SPG.

I see a blog post that says, in bold,
Update – This Offer is no longer available. View the current offer here

The link takes me to Amex's website, with the new offer.

Why doesn't YYZ get any "love"?
 
After reading that YVR is getting a Lufthansa A350 flight I wondered why Toronto never gets the good planes/first class/good airlines. Consider:
Cathay only does business class (YVR gets first via New York flights)
Korean doesn't provide their Kosmo suites in first
Lufthansa doesn't offer first class
There are no A350s to/from YYZ (although Philippine Airlines indicates it will in 2018)
It doesn't get ANA, JAL, Singapore, Swiss (not enough demand? AC monopoly?)


Perhaps it's a simple explanation.
