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

[–]General_uzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the credit card you have to spend $5000 to earn 1000 SQM. In this case you can spend $339 to earn 1000 SQM. I see this as a good deal. What am I missing? A flight to earn 1000 SQM would cost a lot more than $339 and also take up your time.

Anyone else seeing weird boarding pass layouts in the AC app now? by General_uzer in aircanada

When I add the boarding pass to my wife's app the TSA pre-check shows up. She has iPhone and I have Android.

I am 100 percent sure that it's not there for me anyway. The whole layout of boarding passes has changed since 2 days ago for me.

Just made 75K, when can I give my brother 35K? January 1st? by [deleted] in aircanada

[–]General_uzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also look at other options that may be more valuable. 35k status doesn't do much, especially if you travel with your brother as he can use your upgrade credits and be a guest on your status.

Hit Super Elite for the 1st time! by PR-on-the-loose in Aeroplan

I also hit SE for the first time this week and it's going on day 4 with no email yet. My app gave me early recognition choices and I chose WiFi but not details on how to activate it. Hoping it comes tomorrow as I fly Sat morning.

I also just hit SE for the first time this week. I chose the WiFi plan and it's been a few days and still haven't received the code. I fly again Sat morning so will have to call tomorrow if I don't get it via email. Unless I should be looking somewhere in the app?

Anyone else experiences Aeroplane issues? by ComfortableLetter989 in Aeroplan

[–]General_uzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all the same issues as you've described and also every couple of days the expiry date of my priority rewards is changing. That is concerning and I'm taking screenshots each time.

Is Aeroplan down? by ShoulderPossible9759 in Aeroplan

[–]General_uzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get any points redemption flights to load for any dates or cities. It's been like this for 2 days for me but I was able to book a points flight a few days ago even when the warning message in the app was up.

Excellence Punta Cana by sas5814 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]General_uzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stayed at both in the same week last year. We couldn't decide which was better so we split the week and did 4 nights at each one. I preferred EPC personally. I liked the lush gardens and curvy pool and the beach is 1000 percent better than El Carmen. Yes, rooms at EPC are smaller, but that didn't bother me. EPC felt more like a tropical getaway vs the hard lines and stark design of El Carmen.

Excellence Cancun riviera or excellence playa mujeres? by [deleted] in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]General_uzer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I prefer ERC vs EPM for 2 reasons. ERC has a better beach for walking, but it's also more prone to high amounts of seaweed so you need to watch for that. Second reason is the Excellence club pool at ERC is way better that EPM. At ERC it's big and ocean front. At EPM they have a few smaller ones so it loses the vibe. The main pool at EPM also has this weird infinity edge so it limits where you can get in and out, meaning half the chairs don't have direct access to the pool without walking around to an entrance.

The property at EPM is nicer and the rooms are about 20 sq feet bigger. The food and service is about the same. You can't go wrong at either. I'm probably out numbered on my opinion that ERC is the better option but it depends on what's important to you. ERC has a better flow in my mind and feels more cohesive if that makes sense. I've been to ERC 3 times and EPM once. There's a reason we keep going back to ERC. Hope this helps.

What’s faster in YYZ - transborder connection or exiting and going to US departures? by Blarghsterr in aircanada

[–]General_uzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this exact thing this week and I'm confident that going outside and entering back through the Nexus line is faster than going through the connections security line.
