✅ Chexy is Now Accepting Bill Pay

It’s been a long time coming, but Chexy now supports Bill Pay! 💰

When we first launched, we only accepted e-Transfers. Then came Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD). And now, with Bill Pay, any tenant in Canada can use Chexy to pay rent and bills with a credit card—unlocking rewards.

This means more flexibility, more rewards, and a smarter way to handle your biggest expenses.

How to Set Up Bill Pay with Chexy

1. Log In & Search for Your Landlord – Select Bill Pay as your payment method and start typing their name. We’ll pull up matching payees, just like a banking app.

2. Enter Your Account Number – Use the number provided by your landlord to link your payment.

3. Pay Rent & Earn Rewards – Use your credit card to pay rent, earn points or cashback, and turn your largest expense into an opportunity.

And don’t forget—refer friends to get $15 and give $15, plus unlock referral tiers to lower your Chexy fee and take home even more rewards. 🤑

Score Up to 25% Off Aeroplan Flights—Here’s How to Maximize This Deal ✈️

Air Canada is running a limited-time promotion that lets you book Aeroplan award flights for up to 25% fewer points. If you’ve been hoarding those Aeroplan points, now’s your chance to stretch them further. But act fast—this deal expires February 23, 2025!

The Deal Breakdown 

• Get up to 25% off Aeroplan award flights.

• Book by February 23, 2025 for travel between February 20 and September 30, 2025.

• No promo code needed—the discount is applied automatically at checkout.

• Valid on Air Canada-operated flights, including Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge.

• Eligible routes: Within Canada, U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

The Catch—Blackout Dates 

Not all dates are fair game. Air Canada has set blackout periods for peak summer travel:

• Within Canada, U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean: June 26 – September 7, 2025

• Canada to Europe: June 19 – July 1, 2025
  Europe to Canada: August 1 – September 10, 2025

• Canada to Asia-Pacific: June 20 – July 31, 2025
  Asia-Pacific to Canada: August 1 – September 10, 2025

Is This Actually a Good Deal? 🤔

The thing with Aeroplan’s dynamic pricing is that there’s no way to see exactly what kind of discount you’re getting—you just have to trust that you are getting a good deal. 

Let’s take a look at some examples:

• Toronto (YYZ) to Tokyo (HND) in Business Class for 85,000 Aeroplan points (down from the usual 110,000+). 

• If a tropical getaway is more your speed, you can grab Montreal (YUL) to Aruba (AUA) for just 24,000 Aeroplan points in economy. 

• And for a long-haul premium cabin steal, Vancouver (YVR) to Auckland (AKL) in Premium Economy is going for 67,000 Aeroplan points, a solid redemption compared to the usual 80,000+ range.

Personally, we’d say that if you can score at least 2.1 cents per point, it’s a solid redemption. If it’s under that, you might want to hold onto your points for a better deal. 

Also, compare Air Canada flights against partner airline redemptions—sometimes you’ll get better value booking with a Star Alliance partner instead.

Smart Redemptions You Should Consider 

Here are some routes where you can squeeze the most out of this promotion:

• Toronto (YYZ) ➝ Amsterdam (AMS) – 60,500 points roundtrip 

• Toronto (YYZ) ➝ Athen (ATH) – 51,400 points roundtrip

• Toronto (YYZ) ➝ Seoul (ICN) – 52,600 points in Premium Economy (or upgrade to Business Class for 70,600 points + CA$77)

If you have eUpgrade credits, use them strategically to move up to business class for fewer points. 

Note: using your eUpgrades will make it easier and cheaper for you upgrade to business class

Which Credit Card Should You Use? 💳

To maximize savings, use an Aeroplan co-branded credit card when paying for taxes and fees. This ensures you get travel insurance coverage in case of flight delays or cancellations.

Best pick: TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card

• Earn 10,000 Aeroplan points upon first purchase.

• Earn 1.5x points on Air Canada purchases, gas, and groceries.

• Get a free checked bag on Air Canada flights.

Final Thoughts 💭

If you’re planning to book an Aeroplan award flight in 2025, this promotion is worth considering—especially if you can score 2.1+ cents per point in value.
