Aeroplan’s has come out with another buy or gift points promotion where you can earn up to an 85% bonus. This tiered offer sees bonuses ranging from 50% to 85% dependent on how many points you buy. This offer runs until May 20, 2022 and allows members to buy up to 500,000 points per transaction up to the annual limit of 1 million points. If you buy 5,000 to 19,000 points you’ll earn a 50% bonus, 20,000 to 45,000 points will earn a 60% bonus, 50,000 to 60,000 you’ll get a 70% bonus and 70,000+ will earn the 85%.
If you buy points at the 85% level your cost on each point is 1.89 cents (C$) each before taxes. Since we value Aeroplan points at a minimum of 1.5 cents each you would think it wouldn’t make sense to buy them 1.89 cents each but over the past year or so we have shown Aeroplan redemption examples of 4.35 cents to over 6 cents per point in value. In those cases where you can extract 2 cents per points or more in value it can make sense to buy points as you would end up saving some cash on your trips!
