Today I decided that I would try to change that and hence the reason I started this blog. I have been an Aeroplan member since about 1999 and I have reaped many vacations thanks to this program. The problem I have with Aeroplan is the annual hefty fee of $120 that I pay for my Visa Aerogold. I HATE fees of any sort. So when I think that I have paid $1320 to Visa Aerogold for those 'free' vacations...well it doesn't make me happy. I've been thinking about canceling this card because of the fee for several years and now that I am no longer collecting Aeroplan points on my mortgage I think that August will be the end of my Aerogold card.
So...what is my plan? Well I'm going to see how much mileage I can get through my Air Miles card. My husband and I have had an Air Miles AMEX card (with NO fee) and the regular Air Miles card for quite some time but we have never quite compiled enough miles to take a trip anywhere. BUT...tonight when I decided to have a look at some Air Miles sponsors and the offers they have the numbers in my head started to multiply, pretty quickly I might add, so I thought it would be interesting to try and take advantage of some of these offers and see how long it takes for us to finally build up our Air Miles so we can enjoy a trip somewhere warm and cozy.
Stay tuned hopefully this will be a rewarding experience!
