I re applied in Aug 2014, I got the 50000 points as well as a Free Night Certificate. I re applied from a link sent by Marriott Rewards. I did not use the general links available .

Assuming you have a Gold Reward card right now, you will click Gold Reward card first, then click "Recommend a different Card?" link and the Gold Business card offer will show up.

Yes self-referring is a one of the greatest tricks when it comes to AMEX in Canada… I can only recommend reading this other thread, if you wish to learn more about Canadian AMEX: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...da-2014-a.html

$484/night * 2 nights =$968 - $280= $688.
Please correct me if my math is wrong.

First off, I want to specify that I do not work for RBC or Avios... I'm spending too much time masterminding the biggest mileage heist off all time!
So far no results...
So quoting tommy, a lil bird told me (yeah, I got kids) that RBC will have a 50% bonus for BA soon! So not only can you get 1.5x for each Avion, but it's a great time for you disgruntled AP guys to apply the hacking trick and convert AP to BA! (AP 50K = BA 52.5K when the bonus applies)
https://www.creditwalk.ca/aeroplan-h...n-cardholders/
FYI, this bonus applies only to infinite Avion cardholders. And correct tommy, there was a 50% bonus back in May 1st.
So suit up guys, it's bonus roundup time! You can all thank me later... :-D

Thanks for your input...
I was looking to trade for another mileage program. Something that gives me good value for my airmiles...
On the flight subject, 5500 points for a 900$ flight low season. But I still have to pay the taxes! Which means 5500 points only covers 480$!
Now you understand what I mean that it's reeeeeeaaaally not worth it?

These? https://www.airmiles.ca/arrow/Home
I poked around, and they can be redeemed for flights. I saw round trip in "low season" YYZ-LHR for 5500 points. YYZ-EZE for 6000 points. I don't know if that's good or bad relative to other redemption options. But if those are the points you're talking about, play around on the site and see what you can find. Also, to note, redeeming them for flights might get mileage-earning flights.
