Another relatively quiet day in the world of travel rewards for Canadians!
News, Tips & Tricks
Aeroplan is running a targeted offer where you can
use your Aeroplan miles to pay for the taxes and fees on Aeroplan award
tickets. To see if you are targeted log in to your Aeroplan account and
click on use your miles to see if the banner pops up. You then have to
call Aeroplan to book your award tickets if you do want to take
advantage of this offer and if you, Aeroplan will waive the $30 fee for
booking award tickets over the phone. The rate for redemption is 1,200
Aeroplan Miles to cover $10, which isn’t a very good redemption rate but
if you are sitting on lots of miles that you don’t know what you’ll use
them for then at least you have this option.
