Buy Air Canada Aeroplan points with an 80% bonus (1.43c each)

38

Air Canada Aeroplan is out with another version of its regular points sale. Although there may be varying targeted offers, everyone that I’ve seen (including me) has an 80% bonus showing once they log into the site.

This makes it possible to buy Air Canada Aeroplan points for as low as 1.43 cents each if you buy at least 15,000 points. That’s just above our Reasonable Redemption Value for Aeroplan of 1.3 cents each, and well above the last couple of Aeroplan sales that we’ve seen. For most folks, it probably only makes sense to buy at this rate if you need the points for a high value redemption.

Aeroplan has been doing these sales every 2-4 weeks, so there’s little reason to buy speculatively, even given the strength of the offer. The bonus has gone to 100% or above every 3-6 months.

Best Uses for Aeroplan Points

  • Add Stopovers for 5,000 miles: There's great value in the Aeroplan due to the ability to add a stopover on a one-way award for 5,000 additional miles, making it possible to combine two destinations on one award.
  • Lap Infants: Lap infants are just $25 CAD or 2,500 miles per direction (far cheaper than what most programs charge).
  • Travel within US and Canada: Aeroplan charges 6K to 22.5K miles each way in economy class or as low as 15K miles each way in business class within US and Canada
  • Business Class to Asia and the South Pacific: Flights to Asia and South Pacific range from 55K-105K one-way in business class (plus 5K miles for a stopover), which can be a particularly good value for awards combining Asia and the South Pacific in one itinerary.
  • Business Class to Africa (with a stopover in Europe): Flights to Africa can vary between from 60K to 100K in business class based on distance (add 5K miles for a stopover within Africa or Europe).
  • Explore remote Canada for far less (Northwest territories for cheap!). In some cases, Air Canada only charges 12.5K miles one-way to remote stretches of Canada. See more here.
