I've been redeeming Aeroplan rewards for years and I just read that you can book a stopover without additional points. I tried to make some 'test bookings' on the Aeroplan website and it seems like this free stopover only works for certain cities. Does anyone know what criteria the cities have to be? I read the article here: http://cardmecanada.com/free-areoplan-award-stopover/

You can actually have up to 3 stops if you want. However they will have to be under a certain milage

Do you mean 3 stopovers including the destination city? or 3 stopovers plus the destination city? How would we be able to book this online?

I am doing a liveaboard there. Not exactly liking the reviews about the apparent lack of maintenance on the boat - but it seems to be the only option to get in multiple dives there.
I hang out on scubaboard http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ima...geenduiker.gif We are doing the Bilikiki (Solomons) after 3 days in Brisbane followed by a week at Uepi. Managed to do my first Avios booking via Amex MR points for SYD-BNE return. Got 3 J on the inbound too!!! Nice to have a shower and food after 22hrs on AC33. Only 2J coming back but I'm hoping some sweet talk will get me a J ticket so we can all chill.:p |
3J on AC33; now your dreaming. I have seen 4J; but this was once in an entire calendar year and most likely was a mistake.

tng11: We will be in Raja Ampat for 2 weeks over the 15/16 Xmas/NewYears. Leave YYZ 11pm on Wed, arrive resort 6pm Saturday. Ugh. YYZ-IST-CGK J on TK. After that it's express air (????) to Sorong then a 6hr boat ride to Misool. F? Never flown in F. Lucky!!! Where are you looking at to dive over that time? The only place out of reach is the Tuamotus Islands near French Tahiti. Looks incredible but insanely expensive, especially given the US$. Indo is easy, cheap YQ and wicked diving with lot's of options. Only issues are weather, I normally wouldn't go so far over the Xmas holidays but RA isn't a place to dive over the summer months |

http://www.bmo.com/credit-cards/bmo-...ite-mastercard But you have to sign in to the BMO Rewards to finalize and I do not know if they add other fees ( taxes , booking fees etc ) Does anyone have experience with them ? |

Assuming ,that all travel bookings have to be done thru BMO rewards centre , what are the actual prices compared to booking thru actual airline or hotel website. I did some searches and they look more or less the same .
But you have to sign in to the BMO Rewards to finalize and I do not know if they add other fees ( taxes , booking fees etc ) Does anyone have experience with them ? No extra booking fees or anything like that. |

Prices seem to be the same as other booking sites.
No extra booking fees or anything like that. but there is a $30 cancel/change fee EVEN if it's 100% Refundable reservation (I think same as ExpediaForTD or Expedia in general) I'd be careful on that AMEX Travel Service, on the other hand, has no booking fee nor cancel fee I've canceled 2 reservations in the last month, on 2 cards (Plat/Gold), no fees at all |

I don't think I have ever used amex points for travel, always transfer them out. |
