– RewardsCanada.ca
Aeroplan has come out with another buy or gift points promotion where you can earn an 85% bonus. . This offer runs until September 3, 2022 and allows members to buy up to 500,000 points per transaction up to the annual limit of 1 million points. If you buy 15,000 or more points you will earn the 85% bonus. Compared to the last buy points offer this is better as the lower tiers had lower bonuses but that’s not the case this time!If you buy points at the 85% level your cost on each point is 1.89 cents (C$) each before taxes. Since we value Aeroplan points at a minimum of 1.5 cents each you would think it wouldn’t make sense to buy them 1.89 cents each but over the past year or so we have shown Aeroplan redemption examples of 4.35 cents to over 6 cents per point in value. In those cases where you can extract 2 cents per points or more in value it can make sense to buy points as you would end up saving some cash on your trips!Offer details:Receive up to a 85% bonus when buy or gift 15,000 or more Aeroplan points online…
