Aeroplan’s 100% points bonus has ended: how to assess your next top-up
The offer ended September 25, 2026, with a best rate of 1.88 Canadian cents per point. Before buying under a new offer, check award availability and compare the full cost with a cash ticket.
Aeroplan’s points sale ended September 25, 2026, so its advertised rate is no longer a current buying opportunity. The published 50%, 75% and 100% bonus tiers applied to all members; the highest tier brought the price to C$0.0188 per point.
1. Sign in to your Aeroplan account and find an available award for your next trip. Check the points required against your balance before considering a purchase.
2. Check the current purchase terms. Don’t assume the expired bonus still applies, and confirm the quantity needed to qualify for any new offer. The supplied sale details did not specify tier thresholds.
3. Compare the cost of the points you need, plus the award’s cash charges, with buying the ticket outright. Canadian travellers should compare totals in CAD. US travellers should convert the purchase cost to USD and account for any card foreign-transaction fee—the advertised 1.88-cent rate was Canadian, not US currency.
Buying a small shortfall may make sense if it unlocks a cheaper award. The bonus alone does not establish savings; without a specific itinerary and cash fare, there is no verified dollar saving.
