To the point Until November 18, 2024, Air Canada has a promotion to save up to 30% by purchasing Aeroplan points.

If you’re short on Aeroplan points to book an airline award, take advantage of this Aeroplan points purchase promotion.

Until November 18, 2024, you’ll receive a discount of up to 30% when you purchase 10,000 points or more.

This is a recurring promotion: the last offers gave a price reduction of up to 30% in August and September 2024. Another promotion offered up to 85% in bonus points until October 10.

Buy Aeroplan Points: the offer

You can save up to 30% when you purchase Aeroplan points. Here are the details of the discounted purchase:

Points purchased Percentage
10 000 – 19 000 15 %
20 000 – 75 000 20 %
80 000 – 95 000 25 %
100 000 – 250 000 30 %

Please note that these percentages or point levels may change slightly depending on your Aeroplan profile.

You can purchase or donate up to 250,000 Aeroplan points per transaction to take advantage of this offer. The maximum eligible points are 1,000,000 Aeroplan points per calendar year.

For your information, some sales taxes are added to the purchase if you pay with a Canadian address. Whereas with a U.S. address, there are no sales taxes.

Please note: The purchase is made through Points.com, an external site from Air Canada. This will not count as a qualifying purchase from Air Canada.

Purchase Aeroplan points: examples with discounts

For example, it costs $2,450 (before taxes) to purchase 100,000 Aeroplan points. This is equivalent to 2.45 cents per Aeroplan point. That’s higher than our Aeroplan point valuation of 2 cents, so it’s not a very good buy. Buying points at a 30% discount would cost more than they’re worth.

Bottom Line

If you’re urgently short of Aeroplan Points for an airline award you need to book now, this may be a good time to purchase Aeroplan Points. However, these offers are recurring and it may be more advantageous to wait for the next one if your goal is simply to earn more Aeroplan points.

We’re looking forward to the Black Friday deals, where there are sure to be more interesting promotions.
