Stay for Free at the Pan Pacific in Vancouver

Posted October 24, 2008 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under Travel Deals

My buddy Damon just alerted me to this sweet little deal on Pan Pacific’s site:

We invite Air Canada Business Class travelers to enjoy a complimentary night’s stay between Oct 1, 2008 and January 31, 2009. Simply present your boarding pass or a copy of your electronic ticket at check-in, then relax and enjoy our idea of a window seat.

You know, that WOULD be worth booking a Business Class trip on Air Canada. Sadly, there’s no Business Class on the Dash-8 flights between Penticton and Vancouver, so we won’t be staying at the Pan Pacific anytime soon.

But if YOU can, check out the details here.

Would You Redeem Airline Rewards Points to Buy Carbon Offsets?

Posted May 6, 2008 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under Adventures, Points & Rewards, Travel Tips

Let’s face it, flying adds carbon dioxide CO2 to the atmosphere which contributes to climate change.

In addition to reducing the number of times we fly every year, Ed and I also like the option of being able to reduce our footprint by purchasing and/or redeeming Aeroplan rewards points for carbon offsets.

“Gifts” for Damon

Posted March 1, 2008 by Rosalind Gardner · Filed Under Points & Rewards

Before leaving Sun Peaks Resort for Vancouver, Damon stopped by our room in the Sundance Lodge to say goodbye … and to relieve our room of all possible freebies.

Although the latter was probably not his intention, when he and Andrew - world champion Points, Rewards & Freebies collectors - get together, talk tends to action.

Here is a video clip of Andrew telling Damon about the benefits of Pampers Points and Damon “cleaning up” the room.

Note: This epidsode takes place after the shampoo, soap, shower cap, Coffee Mate, sugar, salt, pepper, tea and Equal are already in his pocket…
