I’m not sure how this partnership is not a laughingstock and how the marketing teams can keep a serious composure.
The extra points to earn by purchasing at Starbucks are such a joke.
Like today; get a whole 30 AP points when making 3 purchases at Starbucks….. like 30 points are the equivalent of not even 1 cent value and they actually think this “call to action” (this is what these marketing teams like to call it) makes somebody going to Starbucks?!

If I ever go to Starbucks, then it’s for BOGOs, there is a value far higher than measly 30 Aeroplan points.

From what I understand, travel interruption and travel cancellation is not covered if the trip hasn’t been paid at least 75% with the Aeroplan cc.
Is that still the case?

Also, do any of the luggage benefits still apply (first checked and until 11/30 one carry-on) when using solely or for the majority points?

Right now, I see AMZ GC have a promo on lower points required for redemption.

However, often prices on AMZ overpriced and I would leave money on the table for Bezos’ space adventures.
Which other dining pr consumer electronics partners have frequently reductions in points requirements? Is Apple or Best Buy ever part of it?

Like c’mon, do the tracks bend the moment the sun is out?
Line 1 related.

Having the regular service maintenance tomorrow, which be according handbook for Canada the one after 24 months or 32k KM / 20k miles.

6 months ago I opted out on the alignment. I haven’t had one since buying the car new and the Toronto area is known for potholes. Do you think it’s a good time for alignment, despite no other symptoms?

Based on the dealer’s website it says following “outstanding maintenance”:

- alignment
- cabin air filter
- lube, oil, filter
- MA Maintenance 3
- Throttle Body cleaning

According the handbook, only the oil is required and bolts and nuts to be tightened, locks and hinges to be lubed. So I am not sure what even throttle body cleaning means and wouldn’t e lube, oil and engine filter be part of MA Maintenance 3???

Before someone says to go to an independent mechanic; with our prior, we had equally bad and rip-off experience with such mechanics.
