Welcome to Milesopedia Canada, the French-language reference community for optimizing credit cards, loyalty programs and travel. To guarantee respectful and constructive exchanges, this charter of good conduct, or netiquette, applies to all our platforms:
- Milesopedia.com website
- Facebook groups and other social networks
- Comments on articles and messages sent to the team
We aim to provide a space where everyone can ask questions, share tips and interact in a climate of respect and mutual support.
1. Respect and kindness above all
Respect for Milesopedia members and team
- Insulting, defamatory, hateful or discriminatory comments are strictly forbidden.
- Any personal attack, mockery or demeaning behaviour towards another member or team member will be moderated.
- A sarcastic, condescending or aggressive tone detracts from the quality of exchanges and can discourage participation.
Specific rules on sensitive subjects
The debates are enriching, but some subjects require a respectful and factual approach:
- Politics, religion and controversial topics: these discussions are not allowed unless directly related to loyalty programs or financial services.
- Bank, airline and hotel reviews: please be sure to express your experiences constructively and verifiably, without exaggeration or defamation.
Well-argued and nuanced Reviews help improve the experience of the entire community.
2. Permitted and prohibited content
Authorized content
Milesopedia Canada encourages constructive exchanges and the sharing of helpful information. You can:
- Share your experiences and advice on credit cards, loyalty programs and travel.
- Discuss promotions, offers and strategies to optimize the accumulation and use of points.

- Share relevant news related to our themes.
Prohibited content
In order to preserve the quality of exchanges, the following content is prohibited:

Any breach of these rules may result in the deletion of the messages concerned, a warning or exclusion from the community in case of a repeat offence.
