Air Canada is offering a bonus when you buy Aeroplan points, allowing you to top off your account for an upcoming redemption. This promotion is a great way to snag a premium cabin award ticket, so don’t miss out!

Current Aeroplan Buy Points Promotion

From now until July 17, 2025, Aeroplan members can buy Aeroplan points with a bonus of up to 100%. 

The bonus you’ll receive is tiered based on the number of points you purchase:

  • Buy 5,000-29,000 points: 55% bonus
  • Buy 30,000-79,000 points: 75% bonus
  • Buy 80,000+ points: 100% bonus

The purchase price is CAD 0.0375 (~USD 0.028) when buying from the US site. At the highest bonus tier, the price effectively drops to USD 0.0138 per point, which can represent excellent value for certain premium cabin awards. Make sure to check the cash price of any ticket you are aiming to redeem for to ensure buying points is worthwhile.

Is It Worthwhile To Buy Aeroplan Points?

Whether buying Aeroplan points is worth it depends entirely on how you’ll use them. However, generally, the increased bonus rate makes this promotion more attractive. With business and first-class redemptions going for over $5,000 or more, purchasing points below 1.38 can mean extreme savings. 

Here’s a walkthrough of how to decide if buying points makes sense for your situation:

  1. Determine the number of points needed for your desired flight.
  2. Calculate the cost to purchase those points at the current bonus rate, including taxes.
  3. Compare the purchase cost to the cash price of the same flight.
  4. Check for award availability on your desired dates.
  5. If buying points costs less than paying the cash price, and award space is available then buying points might be a better value.

Consider other options: Sometimes, purchasing points with a partner airline within the Star Alliance network can be more cost-effective than buying Aeroplan points directly

Get the Aeroplan Credit Card

Before buying Aeroplan points, you should consider applying for the Aeroplan Credit Card.

When Should You Buy Aeroplan Points?

While this promotion offers a decent bonus on purchased points, it’s generally best to buy Aeroplan points only when you have a specific redemption in mind. It’s not advisable to purchase points speculatively, in case program terms or award charts change in the future.
