1) when i posted about the petro-canada pivot visa card, to do straight withdrawals, i factored in a $1.50 fee that the atm would charge. i was under the assumption that most atms would not a reader had pointed out that not all atms charged that fee. while in edmonton, i found a credit union atm that did not. i am very, very encouraged. sadly, that credit union is only in alberta ... but it makes me want to stick my prepaid visa into any machine i can find. so for every $250 cycle, it is possible to get a bonus $5 back.
2) i had an e-mail sitting in my inbox for about a week now from pointshound. until the end of the month, you can get an additional 500 bonus points (to the airline of your choice, it seems) for every new trip booking. a trip is defined in the fine print as only one booking in a city per 7 day period (i.e., booking two nights at different hotels in seattle does not count). i booked my seattle hotel using their double dip feature. normally, i would refund it all and then rebook for the bonus, except that the price of the actual hotel has increased ...
3) from hack my trip, i learned that you have to add another step to utilize expedia's best price guarantee. they changed the wording with their new expedia rewards program. you can only get the $50 travel voucher now if you are a member of the expedia rewards program. but really, it's free to join, and you get 1-2% return on your hotel purchases. it's just an extra one-time step.
