Travel rewards are obviously one of the best ways to travel more for less: If you’re a traveler, you absolutely have to invest a bit of time into this. Here’s the first of our posts to summarize September’s developments in this wonderful world.
We’ll continue this week with much more, including some positive changes announced yesterday by Air Canada’s VP at the travel rewards event I attended in Vancouver.
Today, we’re so proud that Flytrippers readers have now surpassed the $1 million mark in welcome bonuses earned through our recommendations (that’s a lot of free travel!!!), so we’re going to indulge in a rare occasion when we include some news related to us.
1. Free webinar to learn
- What: Free travel rewards webinar
- When: Wednesday, October 6, 9:00 p.m. Eastern

2. Free guides for some of you
- What: Free guides for those who took advantage of the record July/August offers

This item is a reminder only for those who took advantage of the July/August record offers.
It’s very important to make sure you can receive the guides for your new card(s) by entering your email… and stay subscribed to that exclusive list so you can also get part 2, the guide to using and maximizing points.
3. Travel rewards writer
- What: Contract position as a travel rewards writer at Flytrippers
- When: Starting now
- Where: Application page
For those who want to become a digital nomad and travel full-time, or those who just want to supplement their income (or know someone who would be interested), Flytrippers is looking for someone who is passionate about travel rewards to produce written content.
Join our team and help us help Canadians travel more with travel rewards! And if you refer a candidate we end up hiring, we’ll send you $100 in cash!
We’re also looking for a bilingual editor for all of our travel content, by the way (with the same $100 referral bonus).
4. $25 gift card for a testimonial
- What: $25 gift card for a travel rewards testimonial

If you don’t want to become a writer, but you want to share one of your experiences using travel rewards, we’re trying something new and we’re looking for some travelers for this initiative.
If you are selected, we will give you a $25 gift card to write a short post about a trip you took with your travel rewards. Email us your suggestions and we’ll get back to you soon.
5. Gift card trick
- What: Earn 5X points at 100+ retailers with gift cards
- When: Right now
- Where: Our detailed article on the trick
Obviously, welcome bonuses are the key to getting more travel rewards, not regular purchases. And it’s not even close.
But it’s still good to earn 5X more points almost everywhere too when you’re not unlocking the welcome bonuses you should be getting regularly.
We’ve told you many times about the gift card trick to earn 5X points in so many places, so we did a detailed article with the list of 100+ merchants in Canada where you can easily get 5X the points.
