On a slightly unrelated note, I was trying to figure out why this guy is using a .ca domain when I realized, his name is Jon Luca. At first I thought his name was Jon Lu (and therefore asian). Good use of domain name.
On a side note, Safeway and Sobeys in Canada don't have a loyalty program, instead they piggy back off of Air Miles. All of the special offers available just amount to bonus Air Miles, so they're not actually that worthwhile (IMO).
I don't think Air Miles are completely useless. I do remember redeeming air miles at least once in the past for a one-way trip somewhere...
For example, I needed to rent two cars on a trip last year. The first car I was able to rent through Air Miles, but I had to pay the taxes and any fees beyond the base price myself so it didn't feel like much of a deal. The second car required more Air Miles than I had, so I had to pay for the whole thing myself, I couldn't do part on Air Miles and part cash.
I ended up renting the second car through Costco and felt like I got a better deal overall than I did with the first car.
Maybe rental cars aren't the best way to use them.
If it's indeed the case that he has no residency, he's one report to CIRA away from the domain cancelled.
