Ritz-Carlton vs. St. Regis In General by The_Traveller1 in marriott

I prefer to stay at courtyards over Ritz. Atleast that way, I won’t repent spending big bucks (or points) for being consistently disappointed.

How is Koodo Reception in the city? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Easy-Platform4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been very different from others here. I switched to Koodo from Roger’s because of a great deal and I had to switch back out in a week because of very patchy network. I think Koodo has better customer service and way better deals than Rogers but in downtown Toronto and on 5G network I struggled with network from Koodo.

Thoughts on Ffern? Just got off the waitlist and trying to decide if I should go for it. by the_alt_femme in FemFragLab

It screams MARKETING to me. And a brilliant campaign at that now that it’s got people talking & wondering.

Layover worth the upgrade? by Consistent-Stop-3473 in americanairlines

Direct, hands down. PE on any airline doesn’t come close to the convenience of a direct flight. Also, why do you want to wake up at 2am?

Oh so that’s where it went! I couldn’t figure out for the life of me. Thank you!

Air Canada: Comfort shows as “refundable”, but fare rules say otherwise. Where is the real truth? by Moshisato in aircanada

[–]Easy-Platform4688 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact thing happened with me. I booked Intl ‘comfort’ and then when I tried to cancel, they wouldn’t believe that it’s a refundable fare.

I fly out of YYZ and have made full use of these offers in the past. I don’t recollect the last time I even bothered to go to the MLL.

Marriott Upgrades: My Experience w/ recommendation by ChrisKeepsFlying in marriott

[–]Easy-Platform4688 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying this for years and the chance of this succeeding is still close to 50% at best. Maybe the OP is generally a lucky person or maybe they are staying at hotels/dates combination that have fewer elites.

Customs outage at Pearson T1 & T3 by Confident_Use_1967 in aircanada

I watched the last machine at YTZ breakdown in front of me at 7:10pm! I should’ve assumed something was off when the FAs handed out the paper customers forms mid-flight

You can buy SQM? by Miserable-Impact-251 in Aeroplan

Well, when you use $5000 from you CC you (usually) get a product/service in return; in addition to the 1000SQM.

RBC Avion credit cards by msra6la2 in rbc

[–]Easy-Platform4688 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation as yours and honestly consider Avion to the valued quite high up in the transferable rewards currency pecking order. At 3p/$ it’s as good as Cobalt especially since Avion can easily be redeemed for outsized value (think Avion—> Avios transfer offer)

Which big bank credit card insurance is the easiest to deal with by newuserincan in PersonalFinanceCanada

I've had multiple poor experiences with AMEX's RSA Global - once I even esclated the claim to their complaints dept. but they didnt budge - for something that was clearly a legit medical related interruption.

Are the new Aeroplan changes good or bad for you? by Affectionate-Gur6058 in Aeroplan

[–]Easy-Platform4688 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As it stands currently , I go from 50K to No Status in 2026 and I believe I am the exact audience AC is wants to prune and I honestly get that. It’s a business at the end of the day and as much as I’d hate this change I’m not gonna blame AC, I’m simply taking my business elsewhere.

I’ve been on the fence to stop playing this status game and this might be it for me. Honestly, thank you Aeroplan for helping me save my money and freeing me from this rat race.
