Reporting back on receiving DL SkyMiles credit on an AirMiles redemption. As others have mentioned, I did indeed accumulate SkyMiles on my DL AirMiles award redemption. RDM's earned on the basis of distance, not cost. This was a first for me, as my previous AirMiles AC redemptions, attributed to Aeroplan, earned nada.

Datapoints on MBNA Alaska card churning?

ie) Just signed up / instantly approved for the WE Mastercard.
Will meet min spend, get points.

How long should I wait after cancelling to apply for the other card (the Platinum Plus Mastercard) ?
Or re-appklying for the WE?

Cheers,
- Mike

Not sure if there is shorter time between the WE/PP card applications, but people who churn the Alaska WE usually wait 3-6 months between cancelling and reapplying and have successfully gotten the welcome bonus again. I'd suggest checking out r/churningcanada on reddit. Lots of good info and resources.

I applied for and got approved for the MBNA Alaska card after 3 months from closing my previous...received card last week.

MBNA Alaska World Elite, cancel, and then re-apply same card?

My question was more regarding if you hold the MBNA Alaska WE and cancel, if anyone knows of a safe "gap" before applying for the other product MBNA Alaska card (Platinum Plus or whatever its called).

At least a month....to allow the credit bureau to get updated, that the account registers as closed ,when it's pulled for the new application.

Aeroplan has fixed a date for when miles must be used.

Nice find! I can't believe this important info hasn't received more online exposure. It would be nice to see Amex have a transfer bonus before then.

That wording has always been there. They just change the date every year. Here's a similar post from 2017:

Good points. Thank you.
You're right; they've picked "December 14" every year, and extended it every year.

Although this might be the year it doesn't get extended again.
:(

... It's not a lot of miles, but this might be a good way to keep a dormant Aeroplan account active. Maybe you or a family member could earn a few miles to avoid expiry.

I used to be able to see a wiki at the top that showed updated credit card bonus' for Canadians but I no longer see it. Is this gone?
