[Expired] Buy Air Canada Aeroplan Points With up to a 100% Bonus [Until July 17]

Right now, Air Canada is running a limited-time promotion for buying Aeroplan points, offering up to a 100% bonus through July 17, 2025.

This drops the price to about 1.37 cents per point, which is less than the average value of Aeroplan points — meaning this could be a great time to buy. However, not everyone will see the 100% bonus, and many readers are reporting just an 85% bonus

Let’s look at the details and whether or not you should hop on this promotion.

Air Canada’s Latest Buy Aeroplan Points Promotion

Whether you’re topping up your Aeroplan account balance or have found a redemption that makes buying points cheaper than paying for the flight in cash, this promotion could be helpful in the right situation.

Through July 17, Aeroplan has the following offer when buying Aeroplan points, available here:

• Buy 2,000 to 4,000 points without a bonus
• Buy 5,000 to 25,000 points with a 55% bonus
• Buy 30,000 to 70,000 points with a 75% bonus
• Buy 80,000 to 500,000 points with a 100% bonus (1.88¢ CAD = 1.37¢ USD)

Note that there’s a limit of 1 million purchased points per year and 500,000 points per transaction. Keep in mind that Aeroplan also has targeted offers on point purchases, so your offer may differ.

If you have the 100% bonus and purchase the maximum of 500,000 points, you’ll pay $13,705 to take home 1 million Aeroplan points. That’s a per-point cost of 1.37 cents.

We value Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents apiece, so you’d be buying them at a price below our valuation, which is great news for anyone with the 100% bonus. Even the 85% bonus offers a price of 1.48 cents per point, which is still a good offer.

Why You May Want To Purchase Aeroplan Points

Here are the 2 main situations in which we think buying points and miles is valuable:

• You don’t already have a large balance of these points and miles or don’t have enough transferable points (e.g., Amex Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards)
• Doing so will allow you to purchase a ticket for less than the ordinary cash cost

Consider this: Purchasing 220,000 Aeroplan points under this promotion would set you back roughly $3,015 — certainly not a small sum of cash. However, you could redeem 210,000 points to fly round-trip in Lufthansa first class between the U.S. and Europe and have some points left over.

Lufthansa first-class tickets often cost $7,000 or more, so purchasing points could save you more than 50% against the standard cash fare!

Final Thoughts

It doesn’t always make sense to purchase points or miles. Usually, using points you already have for your booking makes more sense. However, if your mileage balance is looking bare and you have an immediate use for these Aeroplan points, purchasing during this promotion might make sense — and it could save you a lot of cash in the process if you have your eye on a flight in a premium cabin.

It also can make sense if you’re going to purchase a ticket with cash, as you might be able to buy the required Aeroplan points at a lower cost. If you’re in that situation, you have until July 17 to purchase with up to a 100% bonus.
