When Does It Make Sense To Buy Points:  Several loyalty programs are offering discounts for purchasing their points.  Buying points can be a great deal as it could reduce your overall trip cost instead of paying for your trip cash.  Is buying points always wise?

50% Of Your Miles Back With Aeroplan:  Aeroplan is offering an awesome promotion going on where you could receive 50% of your redeemed miles back for Air Canada flights within Canada or between Canada and the US.  I love using less miles for award flights!

No More Excise Taxes When Transferring To Domestic Airlines:  Amex has made some favorable changes when transferring Membership Rewards points to domestic airline partners.  You will no longer pay an excise tax when transferring MR points to US airlines.

Massive Centurion Lounge Planned For Seattle:  Speaking of Amex, they’re currently planning a brand new Centurion Lounge in Seattle.  They currently have one, but it’s VERY small and ALWAYS crowded.  May this larger one would allow for social distancing?

Turkish Airlines Guide:  The Miles & Smiles program is not a very popular one, but it should be one to look into.  Not only do you get super cheap flights to Hawaii, but it’s a good way to get to Europe in business class.

Inside The Waldorf Astoria:  For folks on a budget like me, paying for a stay at any of the Waldorf Astoria properties is out of the question.  However, points allow us to stay at these magnificent properties.  What other perks do you get out of this brand.  Did you know of their complimentary House Car service?

IPhone Has A Covid Tracker?:  There are many iPhone users out there and if you’ve upgraded to the latest IOS13.5, you may not have noticed the Covid-19 Tracker that’s on your phone now.  Many Androids have it too.
