Aeroplan

A million Aeroplan miles could take you to some pretty amazing places. And they could be yours. The folks at Aeroplan have launched a special “Moments Worth Millions” ‘campaign, and you could win one of five prizes of a million miles. That’s a five million mile giveaway.

That goes especially for the latest round of specials, which Aeroplan is practically begging you to use by handing out special tips on how to maximize your card.

Canadians have been known to complain about their travel rewards’ programs from time to time.

I’ve been an Aeroplan member for 30-something years, give or take, and it’s not perfect. I can’t always find the flight I want for the number of points I’d Read more
