You are currently viewing Here’s the winner of our Iceland flights giveaway

Flytrippers recently ran a giveaway in collaboration with PLAY, the Icelandic ultra low-cost carrier (ULCC) that flies to Hamilton in the greater Toronto area. It’s now time to unveil who won a pair of plane tickets to beautiful Iceland! And I share an important reminder that EVERYONE can get free flights so easily with travel rewards deals.

Here’s the winner’s name — and how you can get the same thing even if you didn’t win.

 

Winner of Flytrippers X PLAY giveaway

Our lucky Flytrippers fan is Mélyna B.

Congratulations (check your email for the details), and for everyone else, stay tuned for more Flytrippers giveaways.

 

Guaranteed free flights for all travelers

If you are interested in free flights, it’s more than time for you to stop missing out on the travel rewards deals our Flytrippers fans took advantage of to earn a whopping 3 MILLION DOLLARS in free travel collectively.

The new increased offer for $825 completely free on the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card is a great example: it gives you a value of $825 in points of the more simple type, redeemable for any travel expense on any website. It doesn’t get any easier than that!

You’ll earn 6 pts/$ (6%) at Sobeys/Safeway/Thrifty Foods/IGA and 5 pts/$ (5%) at all other grocery stores. That means 5%-6% almost everywhere with the gift cards trick and even 3.5%-4.5% everywhere (including Costco) with the similar prepaid card trick.

The Scotiabank Gold American Express Card also has no foreign transaction fees, so you can avoid that 2.5% junk fee that all but 5 Canadian credit cards charge you.

If you want to learn more or ask your questions, join us for our live video on travel rewards with a presentation of this deal and a Q&A session. It’s this Monday, August 5, at 9 PM Eastern.
