This morning I got an email titled “Exclusive offer for our newest Gold Rewards members” which states that $100 of WestJet dollars have been deposited into my account. I’ve never used my WestJet account before, just having Gold status through a previous status match.

beVancouver, a company of the Vancouver Hotel Destination Association, offers a popular promotion annually for a $50, $75, $100, or $125 AMEX Gift Card (which can actually be used to pay for the stay) on a hotel night at one of thirty-six downtown Vancouver hotels. This year, they’re also giving you a $50 AMEX Gift Card for each additional night on the same reservation. They enforce a three reservations maximum, that is, you can have as many nights as you wish, but you can’t have more than three bookings. The stay must occur by April 30, 2015.

Aeroplan points are a pseudo-currency, and can be converted into something tangible. When making “purchasing” decisions, it’s a good idea to know what the value of your currency is. That is, is an Aeroplan point worth 1 cent, 1.8 cents, etc. Of course, the value of a point will be different for every person: if your goal with Aeroplan points is to redeem for hotels or a toaster, the value of a point will be much lower than if you redeem for First Class international travel.
