Idine continues it's expansion into the Canadian
market by now including Canadian hotels. Earlier in the year, Idine begun
adding Canadian restaurants in Ontario and B.C. where members could earn
miles. Idine offers another way to earn miles by gaining them on your
dining bill at participating restaurants and for hotel stays booked through
them. To join you must register a credit card number (that's how they
track and issue miles) under the individual airline's program with Idine.
Currently Canadian residents can join Idine programs with Continental,
America West, Delta,
United, Alaska,
and American. Unfortunately
Northwest and US Airways only allow US members at this time. The Diners Club/MasterCard partnership announced earlier this year will come into effect in November. This will allow Diners Club holder to use their card wherever MasterCard is accepted as well as the usual Diners Club merchants. The new card will carry a $99/year fee plus $35 for supplementary cards. All current cardholders will receive 5,000 bonus Club Rewards Points upon payment of the annual fee. This card comes with a lower interest rate of 18.5% versus the previous 20% plus and will keep all the same lounge and insurance benefits. Current cardholders who are still earning Aeroplan miles will have this discontinued as of the November billing date. Air Canada unveiled a new livery along with new
uniforms this past week as part of the ongoing changes since they emerged
