Interesting to see if it affects new household solar uptake. Maybe just buy batteries and charge them 12 to 3...

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    - I didn't know that history, I only started searching last week - had to call aeroplan (to make the booking) because in the online booking process, after listing names and going to "next" (for seat selection) it would error out. There's still issues between Aeroplan /AC and Turkish . I have...

    Was disappointing as the connection recognised my ph number as being a 50k status. Phoned at about 14:00 au EST. But delighted she got me the 3 x J out of IST on Turkish Airlines, thought they might have been ghost rewards seats.

    50000 Bonus Aeroplan points with new HSBC Star Alliance Card

    Hours! However, they did manage to book J reward seats which, through the app, were error-ing out. (Hint-note the error code, they need that to waive the call centre booking surcharge)

    Do you use a Travel Agent?

    I've been looking for that route in May but not much available J or even Y for me. I only have points with AC (unreasonable departure times), VA (not an available route), and QF(no direct flights). So adding, you might want to book soon
