Do you have a stash of Air Canada Aeroplan points that you aren’t using for flights? You may be interested in a new promotion to get 15,000 points back when using points for car rentals, and the eligible travel period is lengthy.

That said, does using airline points for a rental car make sense, even with a bonus offer?

Here’s what you should know.

15K Promotion on Car Rentals

You can get up to 15,000 Aeroplan points back when you redeem points for car rentals booked via Air Canada.

You can get 15,000 points back on redemptions of 60,000 points or more. You’ll need to use promo code ROADTRIP15 for this offer.

To take advantage of this promotion, you’ll need to book at this link after logging in to your Aeroplan account. Note that reservations must be made by June 8, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST, and the promotion is valid for qualifying car rentals through June 7, 2026. That means you have a full year to complete your reservation.

Multiple car rental companies are available with this offer.

Is It Worth It?

If you plan to book a rental car, booking with Aeroplan can provide 15,000 points back if you use at least 60,000 points for your reservation. That’s a 25% rebate if you spend exactly 60,000 points. This seems great, right?

Maybe not.

We value Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents each, so if you spent 60,000 points on a redemption and got 15,000 back, your effective spending would be 45,000 points, equivalent to $675. Compare that to the cash cost of your car rental to figure out whether it makes sense for you to go with points. Are you saving over $675 on your rental? And could you use those points in a more valuable way?

Aeroplan points are relatively easy to earn, though, since the program is an American Express, Capital One, Chase, and Marriott transfer partner.

Final Thoughts

Right now, Aeroplan has a decent promotion for those planning to use Aeroplan points for something other than flights on Air Canada or the program’s many partner airlines. That said, carefully consider the value of your points when deciding whether you’re better off booking a car rental with cash instead.
