$630CAD all-in, return fare, from Edmonton to Glasgow. You can stop in Reykjavik for free, for as long as you want. Book it on www.icelandair.com.
Availability seems to be between October – December 2014. You can use ITA Matrix to search for dates that work, then book on Icelandair.
Anybody who has ever tried to book an Aeroplan award ticket knows about the huge cost of associated fees (colloquially known as ‘scamcharges’).
Typically, you can’t get status miles (or any kind of miles!) from an award ticket. However, there seems to be a glitch where you can collect Virgin Australia miles flying on a Delta award ticket.
$283USD YYZ-PDL on SATA. These are direct flights, round-trip, taxes included.
Fairly wide availability. Use kayak.com to search for dates. Example dates.
Some credit cards have a “minimum spend,” that is, to get the sign-up bonus, or to reach a bonus tier, you have to spend X amount of $ in Y time to get the bonus. For example, to get the 60,000 MR points offered with the AMEX Platinum card (this is a referral), you have to spend $1000 in 3 months. Business cards typically have much higher minimum spends, and occasionally, we have seen minimum spends reaching $10,000 (was an offer from the RBC Avion Visa).
