Air Canada Aeroplan’s Black Friday buy points promotion is now available. Members can earn up to an 80% bonus when buying points with this promotion until Dec 11, 2024
The 80% bonus offer:
Receive up to an 80% bonus when you buy 15,000 or more Air Canada Aeroplan points. Valid until Dec 11, 24. Click here to learn more and/or to buy Aeroplan points.
Does it make sense to buy points?
When you buy points with an 80% bonus your cost on each point is 1.944 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 for more than that but there are times where you can extract a more value.
In past Aeroplan Availability Alerts the redemption value of the points was above this purchase price so it can make sense to buy the points for such redemptions:
- Austrian Airlines Business Class Montreal to Vienna for up to 8 or more people per flight (3.55 cents per point)
- SWISS Business Class Montreal to Zurich for up to 8 or more people per flight (2.69 to 6.5 cents per point)
In these cases where you can extract value like that it can make sense to buy points as you would end up saving some cash on your trips.
Wrapping it up
The 80% for buying Air Canada Aeroplan points is pretty good an one to consider if you need points right away for a redemption such as those pointed out above. However, it it is not the best bonus we have seen, on occasion Air Canada has offered 100% or more bonus points, so if you don’t need any points right now it’s best to wait for those better promotions.
