Anonymau5 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 It seems like the WestJet 10% discount on flights during the interview season has been cancelled this year. Does anyone know of any other discounts being offered for the interview months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLengr Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Porter has a up to 50% off sale on now. It's not specific for CaRMS. Useful for Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooty Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone use the new Westjet RBC visa? Im thinking about it. It seems like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathan Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Scotiabank has the Passport Visa which gives you 5% discount on all flights. It also gives you insurance for trip cancellation/interruption, cars, luggage, medical and hotel theft. The annual fee is waived for med students/doctors. The rewards aren't quite as good as the RBC Avion (only 1% cashback) but if you're booking tons of flights e.g. for CaRMS i think the 5% cashback is worth it.

future_doc Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Does anyone use the new Westjet RBC visa? Im thinking about it. It seems like a good deal. Its a great deal but we need proof of 35k income I believe, and they won't accept just your word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathan Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Its a great deal but we need proof of 35k income I believe, and they won't accept just your word. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I can see they just offer 1% cashback which is average. Scotia is also 1% except they have the 5% cashback perk on all flights purchased with the card, and also 4% back on gas/groceries/restaurants etc if you get the Mastercard (not visa) version. RBC Avion also has a visa card that gives you more like 2% back (1:1 for points but 15,000 points will get you a short-haul round trip which probably costs more around 30,000 points/$300 with other cards). Yes, I've probably done way too much research into this. Also the non-airline credit cards usually let you purchase flights with any airline, whereas a Westjet card you'd only get to use on Westjet. Not trying to bash Westjet here, I love flying with them...just want to make sure you guys are aware of all the options. Is there anything else that's good about the Westjet card that I'm missing?

steelie Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Anyone know when Westjet tends to have big sales? Any trends in the past ? (ie - emails of sales on certain days of the week, certain times of the year, etc). I know in the past Air Canada used to have sale offers on Mondays. I'm broke and need all the promo's I can get.

WTF, I just switched my LOC to Scotia and was never told about this. I just got the 1% cashback card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 WTF, I just switched my LOC to Scotia and was never told about this. I just got the 1% cashback card. Call up your small-business manager / whoever is in charge of handling your accounts and tell them you want the Visa Gold card. It should get sorted pretty quickly.

Anonymau5 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just bumping again to see if anyone has heard of any new discount offers from airlines for CARMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOMER Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I booked my hotels through Hotels.com. They offer one free night if you book 10 nights and they have great discounts on hotels all over the country. Also have a map section where you can easily find hotels in close proximity to your interview location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
