[Expired] Buy Air Canada Aeroplan Points With up to a 110% Bonus [Until August 12]

Air Canada is currently running a limited-time promotion on purchased Aeroplan points, with eligible members seeing up to a 110% bonus through August 12, 2026.

At the top advertised rate, the cost drops to roughly 1.33 cents per Aeroplan point, which is below our current valuation of these points. Just note that offers are targeted, so your bonus may vary during this current promotion.

Let’s look at the details and decide whether 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.

Air Canada is currently running a limited-time promotion on Aeroplan points purchased through August 12, 2026, with most members receiving a 100% bonus and eligible Aeroplan^® Credit Card holders receiving an additional 10% bonus.

If you have the 110% offer, you’ll see the following multitiered offer when buying Aeroplan points:

• Buy up to 4,000 points without a bonus.
• Buy 5,000 to 25,000 points with a 60% bonus.
• Buy 30,000 to 80,000 points with a 80% bonus.
• Buy 90,000+ points with a 110% bonus (1.33 cents each).
• Direct link to purchase

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

If you have the 110% bonus offer and purchase the maximum of 500,000 points, you’ll pay CA$18,750 ($13,333) to take home 1 million points in this sale. That’s a per-point cost of 1.33 cents.

We value Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents apiece, so this sale comes in below that valuation.

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 have enough transferable points (e.g., Amex Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One Miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Rove Miles) or Aeroplan points to make the booking you want.
• Buying points to make a redemption costs less than paying for the flight outright.

Consider this: Purchasing 210,000 Aeroplan points under this promotion with a 110% bonus (at 1.33 cents each) would set you back roughly $2,793 — certainly not a small sum of cash. However, you could redeem those 210,000 points to fly round-trip in Lufthansa first class between the U.S. and Europe.

Lufthansa first-class tickets often cost $8,000 or more, so purchasing points could save you more than 65% when compared to the standard cash fare!

Final Thoughts

It doesn’t always make sense to purchase points or miles. Usually, earning points from welcome bonuses and daily spending on credit cards 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 may also make sense if the cash price of your flight is high and purchasing the required Aeroplan points comes out cheaper. If that’s the case, you have until August 12 to take advantage of this promotion, with eligible members seeing up to a 110% bonus.
