Air Canada has released a interesting promotion to buy Aeroplan points with a mystery bonus. The bonus is different for each member with some seeing a 115% bonus offer! This promotion is a great option for those planning some future flights with Air Canada or other Star Alliance partner airlines.
Until November 28, 2022 at 11:59pm Eastern Time, you’ll earn bonus points based on the number of Aeroplan points you buy. This tiered promotion is as follows (for those with the 115% bonus):
- 60% bonus when you buy 10,000–45,000 points
- 80% bonus when you buy 50,000–90,000 points
- 115% bonus when you buy over 100,000+ points
To access this promotion, visit the Aeroplan buy points website and sign in with your Aeroplan number & password. You’ll then be able to choose how many points you want to buy.
Normally, Aeroplan sells points for $0.035 per point (CAD). But if you receive the offer with 115% bonus, you’re essentially buying points for $0.0163 per point which is a great deal!
Aeroplan has previously sold points with a 80% bonus back in July 2021, a 100% bonus back in March 2021 and a 100% tiered bonus in July 2022. So, this is certainly another great offer we’ve seen from Aeroplan!
For example, it would cost $3,500 CAD + tax to buy 215,000 Aeroplan points. Note that GST/HST will also be added depending on your home province. For Ontario, this brings the total cost to $3,955.
If you want to avoid paying the extra Canadian taxes, you would have to pay with a US credit card with a US residential address.
Lastly, there are some considerations when buying Aeroplan points:
- Aeroplan points can be purchased for $0.035 CAD each before any bonuses
- Purchases are processed by points.com and not Air Canada
- You can buy up to 500,000 points per transaction (pre-bonus)
- There’s a yearly limit of purchasing 1,000,000 points (pre-bonus)
Summary
Air Canada is offering a mystery bonus when it comes to buying Aeroplan points. It’s a tiered promotion valid until November 28, 2022. So, if you buy more than 100,000 Aeroplan points, some members can earn 115% bonus points!!
I wouldn’t recommend buying points without a specific flight use in mind. But if you have started planning some travels for later in 2023, this could be a good opportunity to save on future Air Canada flights.
A reminder that you can also earn Aeroplan points for FREE with the Fall 2022 welcome bonus offers on TD Aeroplan credit cards. Notably, the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite credit card is offering a welcome bonus of up to 50,000 Aeroplan points until January 3, 2023.
