Airbnb.ca: FREE $28 Travel Credit!

Airbnb FREE $28 Travel Credit

Post Update: I originally blogged about Airbnb 2 months ago. It was a very popular post and a lot of people signed up for a free account. I just booked something on Airbnb yesterday and thought I remind you the FREE $28 travel credit offer is still available.

Airbnb.ca is the best way to rent unique, local accommodations on any budget, anywhere in the world. Ever since I first heard about the Airbnb, it’s the first place I check online whenever I need a hotel room or a place to stay. Airbnb offers a huge selection of vacation rentals, apartments, homes, rooms, cabins, castles, etc… for rent in 34,000 cities. I recommend checking out Airbnb if you need to rent a place or have something you would like to rent out.

For a limited time, click on any of the links in this blog post or enter the code rlau10 when you sign-up for a free Airbnb account and you’ll get a FREE $28 CAD travel credit towards your first trip on Airbnb!

Airbnb has over 17,000,000+ guests and 800,000+ listings worldwide in 190 countries. This means you can find just about anything, anywhere. I was surprised by how popular the site was. It seemed like everyone I talked to already heard about the site and uses it. You can find some awesome deals if you search around.

Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone.

Whether an apartment for a night, a castle for a week, or a villa for a month, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 34,000 cities and 190 countries. And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions.

Reminder: Travel Hacking – AMEX Gold Rewards Card – FREE 25,000 Bonus Miles = FREE Flight to Anywhere in North America!

American Express Gold Rewards Card

Reminder Update: I originally posted about this hot deal 6 weeks ago. It was a very popular post! A lot of people have signed-up for the American Express Gold Rewards Gold so don’t miss out!

American Express have ended their incredible AeroplanPlus Gold Card promotion. AMEX is no longer waiving the first year’s annual fee ($120 value) and they’ve dropped the free Aeroplan bonus miles from 30K to 26K. I hope it’s only temporary and the offer will be back soon. You can still refer people and get 10K bonus miles for each approved referral. It’s still a pretty good deal but not as good as before.

The good news,  American Express Gold Rewards Card promo is still available! It’s very similar to the AeroplanPlus offer that expired. AMEX is waiving the annual fee the first year ($150 value) and you get 25,000 free Membership Rewards bonus points for signing up for the card! You only need 25,000 points to get a free round-trip flight to anywhere in North America! This is a special limited-time offer so sign-up now and don’t miss out!

AMEX Membership Rewards points are very flexible and can be transferred one-to-one to Aeroplan or a bunch of other loyalty programs. Here’s a full list of all the Loyalty Programs that you can transfer your points to. The best part about this offer and how I’ve been able to earn a lot of points, is you can refer your friends & family and get 10K bonus miles for each approved referral! It’s easy to get referrals because the card sells itself.

Even if you already have the AeroplanPlus Gold Card, you can still sign-up for the Gold Rewards Card and get the free 25,000 bonus points. I personally have both cards and think the new Gold Rewards Card looks way nicer then the AeroplanPlus Gold Card.

I took some convincing before I took this offer, and I’m incredibly glad that I did. Here’s why this deal is awesome:

  • Get 25,000 free Membership Rewards Points (can transfer 1-1 to Aeroplan)! That’s enough points to get a free round-trip flight to anywhere in North America!  Or save up more points and travel to other destinations for free!  See where else you can fly with Flight Reward Chart.
  • The first year is absolutely free ($150 value), so if you decide the card is not for you, just cancel it and get keep the 25,000 free bonus points! You can cancel the card at anytime without a penalty and keep all your points.
  • AMEX is a charge card, not a credit card, which means that it doesn’t hit your credit score as hard as a credit card would.  A charge card only does a soft credit pull. The difference between the two is that you must pay off your balance every month, or else you’ll be charged a higher interest rate.  If you always pay off your card, then it doesn’t even matter!
  • The very best part of this deal, and the reason I’ve earned over a million points in the last six months is that AMEX has a referral program.  If you refer someone to sign up for the card under you, you get an extra 10,000 free bonus points for each approved referral!  There is no limit on what you can earn! You’ll get your own referral link after you sign-up and activate the card. Note: You’ll only get the referral bonus if you refer the same card you own (Ie. You can only refer the AMEX Gold Rewards Card if you have the AMEX Gold Rewards Card).

If you consider all the points, this is a deal you can’t ignore! Worst case, you take the 25,000 free points, and cancel the card before the first year, and best case, you refer plenty of friends and family and manage to rack up your very own round-the-world-trip! My original plan was just to sign-up for the card, get the free bonus points, and then refer my wife for the extra free points, but a great deal sells itself and it’s been astonishingly easy to get referrals. This exclusive offer is valid for Canadians only.
