Black Friday: buy Aeroplan points with up to 125% bonus

Air Canada has launched their campaign for Black Friday, and there’s an interesting buy points offer which is worth checking out especially if you are UK- or Europe-based.

The offer runs between November 13th and 29th, and all Aeroplan members receive a targeted mysterious offer. You can reveal the offer here after logging in.

I received only a 100% bonus, equating to C$17.5 / £10.22 per 1,000 points. If you are lucky enough to have the 125% bonus, you will pay C$15.6 / £9.1 per 1,000 points.

The highest bonus Aeroplan had offered recently was 115%, and that was targeted too, so 125% very generous. Even with 100% bonus it’s still not bad deal.

I wrote about Aeroplan recently specifically about their Europe – Middle East redemptions. Here is a guideline of how much certain itineraries cost (per way):

  • Europe – Middle East (business): 45,000 points
  • Europe – Middle East (first): 60,000 points
  • Asia – Middle East (business): 60,000 points
  • Asia – Europe (first): 100,000 points

To put it into perspective, a one-way first class ticket from Abu Dhabi to London on Etihad will cost you just around £600!

Aeroplan points can be accrued through Amex and Chase credit cards in North America, but otherwise difficult to collect. If you have plans to visit the Middle East, you should seriously consider jumping on this deal.

    Could you help me out with “Asia – Europe (first): 100,000 points”. I have no clue what you mean by that.
