Figured this was the best thread to post this to since it applies to Canadian credit cards and applies to multiple airlines... If you have a Canadian VISA Infinite Privileged (such as the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privileged, CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Privileged or the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privileged), you may be entitled for 12 free GoGo WiFi internet passes to use on flights. I received the email last year but missed the deadline to sign up. I kept the email and tried again and the link takes me to this year’s offer. You need to provide your VISA Infinite Privileged card number to validate the offer and pases appear immediately. Must activate by Sept 28. Passes expire in 12 months. Not sure if they can be used on International AC flights, according to their terms and conditions, however Air Canada only sells regular NA passes for all its flights. If you’ve been on an international flight with wifi and used wifi using a pass, I’d love to hear feedback here or on the wifi thread within the AC forum. If you received last year’s email and kept it, you can use that link or click here: link Not sure if another email blast will be sent for 2018 Remember, this is for their privilege card product which has a much higher AF ($399) |

So, you walk up to the front desk at a Marriott property and buy a $250 gift card?
I would guess that that should work, because it's a purchase through that Marriott hotel's Amex merchant account. |

Confirmed this works. Received an email with the $50 statement two days after purchasing the $250 Marriott gift card at a participating property in downtown Toronto. |

Did mine at Courtyard downtown. I've tried Marriotts in the past in the burbs, always ended up going to a courtyard. I'd call first.

May I ask which property? Having trouble finding a location in the burbs that has gift cards.
I ran a quick search for other full service Marriott properties and could only find the Toronto Airport Marriott and the Markham Marriott. There was also one in Niagara Falls. Good luck! |

I received the offer last year, but never took (forgot to take) the offer. It worked for me this year, but haven’t received any email yet. |
There is a promo right now for CIBC Aventura® and CIBC Gold Visa* - FYF $100 travel credit and 15,000 Aventura points.
Do we have any data on if anyone has been able to apply more than once and not be charge the annual fee? 1 You are eligible for this annual fee rebate only if you apply and are approved for your first CIBC credit card. If you are a current or former CIBC cardholder, we may approve your application but you will not be eligible for the annual fee rebate |
Does the AMEX rewards transfer 40% bonus to Avios apply to Canadians as well or just down south?

Just US

There's a new batch of PointBreaks hotel room specials from IHG / Holiday Inn hotels, for now till November 30, 2018. PointBreaks are reward stays available starting at 5,000 points. They also include offers for 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 points... I'd consider 10,000 or 15,000 as "not bad", but 5,000 can be a really fantastic deal. If you don't have points, you can purchase points from the IHG website. Better yet, (I believe) there is a way that IHG members who already have at least 5,000 points can buy 5,000 points for US $40, or buy 10,000 points (2 nights' worth) for US $70. This workaround is discussed in other threads. PM me if you have questions. Other methods are discussed starting around post 3925 of this thread... https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mile...l#post28224184 Full list of PointBreaks hotels in Canada, US & overseas: https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/us/en/redeem-rewards/pointbreaks Hotels in Canada available for 5,000 points: Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Saskatchewan for 10,000: Holiday Inn & Suites Grande Prairie-Conference Ctr Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sherwood Park-Edmonton Area for 15,000: Holiday Inn Calgary-Macleod Trail South Holiday Inn Express & Suites Calgary Holiday Inn Express & Suites Calgary South-Macleod Trail South |

For anything. I'm looking at airlines miles, but all I see is 15,000 miles, which simply doesn't compare. Is there a Canadian credit card worth churning with more than 15,000 airlines miles as a signup bonus?
