BONUS -- Aeroplan Bonus Mile Challenge
Earn stars for Aeroplan transactions thru May 28 to get bonus miles. Collect 35 stars thru shopping or travel transactions and get 1500 bonus miles, 70 stars will get you 16500 bonus miles. Personally I think it's only worth the effort if you can get to 70, but that's hard if you won't be flying Air Canada segments.... can you make 35 purchases (min $3 each) at Esso before the deadline, or 35 purchases split between Esso and Rexall (min $1 each)?
