News and notes from around the interweb:
- The frequent flyer program with the single best award chart.
- High-end all-Audi rental car company Silvercar (see $9 Audi Car Rentals from Silvercar and How I Made $12 On My Audi Rental Car and How You Can Too) has increased their referral offer to $100. Here’s my referral code. You’re welcome to leave yours in the comments.
- Virgin Australia and Alaska Airlines award space appears to be back on the Delta.com website. So rather than a plot to prevent members from booking seats (either to keep Skymiles members off frenemy Alaska, and save money on Australia awards) it does look to have been a temporary glitch.
- There is so far a single report that Aeroplan may not be honoring it’s amazing award sale, where you could book travel worldwide for the cost of a domestic ticket. One data point isn’t yet enough for me to draw any conclusions.

My Silvercar referral code:
DGARCIA5
Thanks guys!
Gary – you’ve got the wrong Silver Car referral code — it’s GLEFF, not GARYLEFF as you have in the link. But when I signed up it showed only a $25 referral credit?
Anyway for others my referral code is GJOIS
@gjois – hahah that’s funny, i’ve fixed it. The $25 is still for the renter, the person doing the referring now gets up to $100 is what has changed
I did end up flying the domectic segment of my international trip booked during the Aeroplan glitch, and I can confirm that there were no hassles at all 🙂
It looks like if you book silvercar with ebates you can get a cool $10 cash back per rental, and $50.00 off your first two day rental. http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=boUQTSrzifgqD3xTpPqsuA%3D%3D&eeid=26471
I checked DTW-SYD on the Delta website. I looked 1/1/2015 through Sept 5. In business there is either NO availability or Peak awards. On the flights I checked, not a single Virgin Australian flight was listed.
