Thanks Rewards Canada!
Aeroplan just published an infographic that showed 12 common Aeroplan myths (in my opinion some of these are still true but I still think it is the best frequent flyer program for Canadians).
They include:
The myths that I still believe are true include: (Myth 1 and Myth 4 I have never experienced when trying to find the popular flights (i.e. to New Zealand or Sydney or Europe).
I liked the way they constructed this as many consumers still see the negative articles by CBC (a consumer who is shocked by the high fuel surcharges on a trip), but many consumers still don’t understand that you can find many trips (like the trip I am taking on this summer with my family with a stopover in Halifax to visit my extended family in Ontario that would cost nearly $900 out of pocket each for just $145 in taxes!
Which myths do you believe to be false?
Aeroplan Members will soon have the flexibility to use their Aeroplan Miles to cover the cost of taxes, fees, charges and carrier surcharges when making a flight reward booking via aeroplan.com, the Aeroplan Mobile app or through Aeroplan’s Contact Centre.
Here is how it works on aeroplan.com:
This option will be available to members in early April for both of Aeroplan’s Flight Reward products. In Fixed Mileage Flight Rewards, which offer the best value in the industry with a fixed number of seats exclusively offered to members on Air Canada and Star Alliance and in Market Fare Flight Rewards which provide access to any available seat on Air Canada at competitive mileage levels that vary based on market fares at time of booking.
I found a great new offer for you to pad your Aeroplan miles!
