CX is 25,000 Avios one way for YVR-JFK right? Any other good use of Avios in North America? I got a lot that I want to burn. |
12.5k one way in economy YVR to JFK, double for premium economy, triple for business, quadruple for first
12.5k one way Bellingham to Maui, or Seattle to any Hawaii airport. If you add on YVR to Seattle, that's another 7.5k each way since Avios is per segment |

Since Avios is per segment, I suppose flying direct is the only way to get a good redemption. So after a quick search on BA's website, I guess YVR-ORD,SFO,LAX, and JFK represent the best redemption.
Is YVR-NRT at 25,000 Avios one-way plus tax worth it? I'm guessing it'll be 50,000 Avios return. YVR-HKG is 30,000 Avios+plus one-way. Anything else? |
Any YYZ outbound flights? Seems like YYZ-NYC availability is quite scarce |
BMO Airmiles World Elite MC offer is back - 3K miles, FYF and companion ticket. My wife already has this card, can I use the same Airmiles # to apply for this card? |
Just a quick heads up about two Air Canada promotions. $50 statement credit offer when booking a flight on aircanada.com and paying with Masterpass. Note you can use any credit card with Masterpass including Amex. https://www.aircanada.com/content/ai...asterpass.html Sobeys in Ontario is selling Air Canada gift cards at a 10% discount. Variable reload up to $500. May be helpful for meeting credit card minimum spend requirements. Sobeys accepts Amex also. |

Is there any realistic chance of getting an upgrade on AC using Aeroplan points? Is it worth trying to upgrade from a class O ticket (FCO - YYZ) if I do it immediately after purchasing the ticket, 355 days in advance of my travel date? I have relatively few Aeroplan points left, as I figure they're soon going to be of little use, so I don't have the 55,000 required for a Business Class seat back from Rome, and I can't get a Premium Economy seat with points anyway, so I'll be paying cash for the ticket. Should I spend my remaining points on toasters, or is an upgrade actually a possibility?

Probably best to ask this over on the Air Canada Aeroplan Forum. Lot's of helpful advice there.

Having the same issue. Calculator page shows normal transfer rate and promo page just redirects to the general transfer partners page. Perhaps this transfer bonus is targeted?

Thanks for that. Did the same and it worked perfect, 30% Avios bonus is really cool!

I find Avios very valuable for short haul flights in Asia, Australia and Europe.

out of curiosity, how are Canadians using Avios these days?
I just transferresd 75k MR from amex to avos and got 22k bonus. It took 2 days. On the front page in the promo banner it says transfer for 30% bonus but nowhere during the transfer process did it ever say bonus. It just said 75k = 75k. I just had to wait until my balance changed and saw 75k + bonus deposit at once. Great value for hopping around NZ and Australia and within europe |

Is it safe to transfer my AMEX MR to a family member's AVIOS account, with the same address?
