Today, I'm chatting with Tara, a Canadian travel blogger who has been using points and miles for more than a decade. 

In this episode we discuss how to stay organized with points and miles without needing to download a ton of apps, what programs are best for Canadians to get into points and miles, why Tara does not focus on airline or hotel status,  and so much more!

One card to consider if you want to boost your Aereoplan points  is the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card.
