    The best rewards credit cards to add to your wallet - The Points Guy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Early in my rewards journey, I believed I needed to be loyal to a single airline or hotel program, but transferable credit card rewards changed that assumption entirely. These currencies can be more flexible than points earned directly through a single airline or hotel program. Combined with regular transfer bonuses to select partners, they allow me to hold rewards until I'm ready to use them and choose among multiple partners based on which offers the best value at the time.

    How to redeem Aeroplan points for maximum value - The Points Guy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Air Canada's loyalty program, Aeroplan, is a favorite among points and miles enthusiasts ... and for good reason. It's easy to earn Aeroplan points, and the redemption rates are great, with plenty of sweet spots. Unlike some major U.S. loyalty programs, Aeroplan still publishes award charts for most partner flights. However, Air Canada flights and flights operated by a group of "select partners" now use variable pricing, while most other partner awards remain fixed according to Aeroplan's distan
