flight centre's latest $50/$100 coupons + the death of topguest?

1) flight centre's $50 and $100 coupons
i received a promo in my inbox from flight centre. it's for $50 off domestic flights and $100 off flights between vancouver and toronto on air canada. unlike their other promotions, you don't have to actually go into a flight centre store -- you can do this over the phone. this is a change that i like. the discount is only for flights within the month of september. this limits the utility of the coupon as flights less than 7 days from departure are usually drawn from a more expensive fare bucket than flights greater than 7 days from departure. in any case, the coupon is here for those who do not subscribe to the ads. expiry date unlisted.

2) the death of topguest?
i also received another e-mail about yet another program that has dropped out of the topguest program. for those who don't remember, topguest is a program that rewards you with points for every check-in on facebook, foursquare, or twitter at various hotel/airport locations. after checking in at those hotels, you would receive a small amount of points for that particular hotel program (e.g., i received 50 priority club points for checking in to the holiday inn right beside my house every morning -- i would do this as a part of my morning wake-up ritual). i think i earned over 60,000 points in total over two years.

they used to be associated with big names: virgin elevate (for every check in at a virgin check-in counter, gate, baggage carrousel), best western rewards, priority club, hilton hhonors (only double tree locations), and united airlines (every check in at united-served airports). united left first. best western was the next to go. then i was devastated when priority club left. and now today, i learn that the last remaining partners are dropping out as well.

As of September 13, 2013 Topguest members will no longer earn points or rewards for checking into CLUBHOTEL or VOILA locations. Any points earned through the use of Topguest through this date will be transferred into your account. For questions regarding your VOILA account please visit http://www.vhr.com/contactus.aspx For questions regarding your CLUBHOTEL account please visit http://www.clubhotel.com/customer-service/ For questions regarding your Topguest account, you can reach us by emailing help@topguest.com

a similar e-mail was sent out for virgin america's elevate. i haven't been an active member since the priority club left the program, but it's kind of sad to see the end like that.
