To the point Until October 10, 2024, you can earn up to 85% bonus points when you purchase points.

Are you short of Aeroplan points to book your nearly free flight? Take advantage of this Aeroplan Buy Points offer.

As part of a fall promotion, you could earn up to 85% Bonus Points when you purchase Aeroplan Points.

Buy Aeroplan Points - Earn up to 85% Bonus Points

This special offer runs on the Aeroplan points purchase page until October 10 . 2024.
Grâce à leur promotion, vous accumulez jusqu’à 85 % de points-bonis à l’achat de points
(please note that this may vary by Aeroplan member):

Number of points purchased Bonus points
4 000 – 10 000 50 %
15 000 – 20 000 60 %
25,000 and over 85 %

At 85% Bonus Points, one Aeroplan Point costs 1.89 cents (before taxes). At 75% Bonus Points, one Aeroplan Point costs 2 cents.

This type of promotion works on the principle that “the more points you buy, the higher the bonus percentage.” In our team, some got 75% bonus points, and others got 85%.

The transaction is not considered a purchase on the Air Canada or Aeroplan site (therefore no additional points per dollar with one of the Aeroplan credit cards).

The last promotion of this type was last July, with a special offer of up to 125%. This only happens twice a year.

Buy Aeroplan Points - Examples

This puts the current offer for the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card into perspective. It allows you to earn up to 80,000 Aeroplan points for a $599 annual fee.

And the offer for the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card: you can earn up to 40,000 Aeroplan points with No Annual Fee in the first year!

Buy Aeroplan Points - Aeroplan Credit Card Offers

What’s nice and rare about this promotion is that for as few as 25,000 Aeroplan points, any points purchase earns maximum bonus points.

If you’re urgently short of Aeroplan Points or if you’d like to earn more Aeroplan Points, this may be a good time to purchase Aeroplan Points.

We estimate the value of 1 Aeroplan point at 2 cents. So if you buy an Aeroplan point for less than 2 cents, it can be good for you if you use Aeroplan points to their full potential.

Alternatively, you could turn to one of these Aeroplan credit card offers to easily earn Aeroplan points without buying them:
