As I’ve posted before, you can convert your Aeroplan points into US Airways points at a 1:0.84 ratio through Points.com.

When you travel a lot, you’re bound to make some mistakes. A curious reader asked me what was your biggest travel mistake?

There are so many credit cards out there, but students without income can only qualify for a few of them. What is the best student credit card?
There are a number of speciality hotel booking programs, like AMEX Fine Resorts and Hotels and VISA Signature Hotels. My favourite program is Virtuoso.
Today’s Sunday Reader Question is: I have a flight to catch, but to connect there, I need to fly Air Canada. I don’t want to pay the Aeroplan fees that are charged with Air Canada. What do I do?
