Having more than one bank issuing credit cards for American Airlines is working out great for consumers, because Citibank and Barclays are forced to compete for our business. They weren't supposed to have to compete. Barclays gets exclusivity marketing on American Airlines flights and in the airport (but not within 100 feet of an American Airlines Admirals Club, where Citi has exclusivity). Citibank gets everywhere else. Continue reading Why American Airlines Cards are Being Forced to Compete Against Each Other With Bigger Bonuses... This gives Aeroplan an airline partner, but Porter Airlines is no Air Canada. They operate of a fleet of 29 Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprops with 74 seats. They fly to 16 destinations in Canada and 7 in the United States (although half a dozen of their routes are seasonal). And it doesn't appear that they'd even be the exclusive frequent flyer program for Porter, which presumably will continue to operate the VIPorter program. Continue reading Aeroplan Announces They’ll Partner With Porter Airlines... Air Canada wants to buy back the Aeroplan program, which is spun off into a separate company. The program is owned by Aimia, which also owns 49% of Aeromexico's frequent flyer program. Either Aimia sells Aeroplan back, or Air Canada starts its own new program in July 2020. Air Canada and its bank partners in the deal had offered $250 million plus assumption of the program's liabilities. They had raised their offer to $325 million.

When it does, it's time to jump. Continue reading Good American Airlines Business Class Award Space to Europe... Wow. I definitely didn't see this coming. Chase has launched a 100,000 point initial offer for the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card. The card is worth getting for the signup bonus. It's worth keeping for 4th night free on points redemptions and the annual free night which is worth well more than the card's $89 annual fee. And reports are it's not subject to '5/24'. Continue reading Earn 105,000 Points: New Biggest-Ever IHG Rewards Club Card Offer... Air Canada spun off its frequent flyer program Aeroplan into a separate company. Aimia owns Aeroplan along with other loyalty programs including a 49% stake in Aeromexico's Club Premier. Last year Air Canada announced they weren't going to renew their exclusive partnership with Aeroplan after their 15 year deal expires at the end of June 2020. Now Aeroplan is confirming partnership discussions with oneworld . Continue reading Aeroplan Now in Talks With oneworld... |
