Aferoplan is out with a buy or gift points mystery promotion where you can buy Aeroplan points with up to a 100% bonus. The bonus should be a minimum of 85% (that’s what is advertised on Air Canada’s website) but some members are receiving offers of up to 100%. This is a tiered bonus that increases with the more points you buy for and it runs until January 29, 2024
Personally I received an offer for up to 85% that is broken down as follows:
- Buy 3,000 – 20,000 points receive a 40% bonus
- Buy 25,000 – 35,000 points receive a 60% bonus
- Buy 40,000 or more points receive an 85% bonus
When you buy points at the 85% level your cost on each point is just over 1.89 cents (C$) each before taxes. If you receive the 100% offer that drops down to 1.75 cents per point.
Since we value Aeroplan points at a minimum of 1.5 cents (C$) each you would think it wouldn’t make sense to buy them for around ~2 cents each but there are times where you can extract a lot more value.
For example, if you look at some of our past Aeroplan alerts you’ll see examples where you can receive more value per point than you pay for them:
- Aeroplan Availability Alert: Lie flat business class between Edmonton & Toronto in March 2024
- Aeroplan Availability Alert: Austrian Airlines Business Class out of Montreal for up to 8 people
In these cases where you can extract value like that it can make sense to buy points as you would end up saving some cash on your trips.
