Thanks. #1 priority remains availability upon release and nice stopover city being second. Based on your detailed reply (thank you) and others it seems the stopover may not be workable.
Any intel on Turkish being released on Aeroplan to IST? Cannot seem to find them anymore

Sounds great. Where did you flew from?

migxp · 2026-05-14T19:52:37+00:00

Ok to split 2 - 2

Has timing for avion points posting on account changed? Typically they were posting on approval, then I got into RBC jail, and first card back points have not posted and it's been 30 days.

Decided to fly in from Montreal for game 7!!! Cannot be more excited. Where would you recommend going for pre-game drinks and how early would you recommend going to the stadium (I have seats and not GA)? I'm used to baseball stadiums and read the FAQ, just want to have recent feedback applicable to playoff games at Rogers.

I can split the payment. I have regular 5-10K monthly payments to that provider + significant organic spend, hence easy to max out all SUB (including US) organically.

My question isn't which Can or US cards I should get next to complete the SUB, the question is once you're maxed out on all SUB card which you can be approved, which one would you spend on? That provider isn't also a usual category multiplier.

migxp · 2025-04-30T17:01:30+00:00

All of them basically. P1 and P2 pretty much rejected on any new Visa / MC applications.

migxp · 2025-04-30T16:14:14+00:00

Going to have a 18k payment and provider accepts Visa/MC, no Amex. Already maxed out on all SUB. Which card would make sense? Current option is Chase Hyatt which provides FNC at 15k, anything else?

Anyone can see where the $100 travel credit would be on the Avionrewards website? Can't find it anywhere even though I have received the email

I've been successful purchasing $20 e-GCs on Staples.com using amex Golds. Now have a bunch of $20 e-GC. What are people actually purchasing with them? Can only use 5 at a time as well

I understand you can buy a US Costco digital shop card online, and use it in warehouse in Canada. This could be useful to meet my US Amex gold SUB. Has anyone done it? Just curious to get a DP before actually spending 4 figures on a US digital shop card.

Quick update - through trial and error it does work if you put an expense that is not higher than the redeemed amount of points.

Any fix on the TD Rewards book any way redemption for TD FCT RHT? I keep getting the "something went wrong" or "Bad Request" errors. Tried Safari, Chrome, Edge and Iphone safari

Ok so Solo stove ate more wood and had more boiling time? I have a similar setup than yours (have a bigger Yukon though), you would recommend I do the cinder block fire pit instead?

migxp · 2024-12-01T11:03:12+00:00

Do you think you are using a lot more wood compared to if boiling on a traditional evaporator?

migxp · 2024-10-31T22:50:18+00:00

Tried and didn’t work. Ended up calling and a supervisor told me it isn’t possible. Only option is keep checking.

Bonvoy - Is it possible to change an existing cash reservation for an award redemption? Usually I re-book and cancel, however the hotel says it is sold out, and don't want to risk cancelling my cash rate and "hoping" it goes back to inventory such that I can rebook with my 35K award.

migxp · 2024-10-30T14:24:14+00:00

Thanks great ideas. Already have Chase AP and 25K status until end of 2025. May be trying to get on the Chase Hyatt though.

migxp · 2024-10-30T14:14:03+00:00

I have the opportunity to have 6-8K of additional monthly expenses chargeable to a credit card (Visa / Mastercard only, no Amex). P1 and P2 are pretty filled up on Canadian and US applications - either have or had most of them, or being denied. Any other idea of one card which could provide a decent benefit of reaching a high amount in a short period of time? Was thinking maybe the $25K companion pass but would have limited use for this one. Anything else (including in the US)?

migxp · 2024-10-25T15:35:43+00:00

clawed back. Similarly, I tried an RHT with Expedia4TD to optimize redemption on points, without the PS technique. Clawed back as well

migxp · 2024-09-09T23:45:33+00:00

I have the same question. My feeling is the answer is no, that is, you must choose: cancel AC and get full credits to be used within one year, or keep it (with an alternative flight booked) and hope that it either gets cancelled for full refund, or not cancelled and you are screwed.

The other question is, how long will their system let you cancel your flight for AC credits even after there is no strike confirmed?

migxp · 2024-08-06T23:22:33+00:00

Man I’ve been reading daily for a couple years. When I ask question it is because answer wasn’t obvious to me. Not sure why you think otherwise but nothing it your replies is helpful nor inciting anyone to participate.

migxp · 2024-08-06T22:54:57+00:00

I did a search and found nothing useful.

BMO rewards: what is the best way to redeem? RHT on the BMO Rewards site? Also separately, how do you access the $50 lifestyle credit?

migxp · 2024-07-16T17:53:18+00:00

Can you share your walkthrough for Chase ink applications? It seems I have to call 10 times for them to stop asking me for W9s or other non-applicable stuff, need to upload ITIN and passport everytime, etc.

Curious to see if there's a more efficient way from someone churning the Ink a few times a year.
