Hyatt stays now earn Aeroplan points on top of your usual World of Hyatt points. Here is how the dual earning promotion works and whether it is worth registering.

Hyatt Globalists can now fast-track Aeroplan status up to 75K. This is a shortcut to getting Star Alliance Gold - here’s the maths from Singapore, which flights count, and why timing matters with Air Canada leaving Changi.

While reading one of my favourite loyalty sites over the weekend, I read that you can purchase a membership to give you worldwide Star Alliance Lounge Access for approximately S$630 Nett via the Air Canada Maple Leaf Club Worldwide membership (CA$599). Air Canada is currently running a 10% promo and this special price is only valid until 09 June 2016.
