Air Canada Aeroplan has launched a new buy points promotion where members can receive up to a 100% bonus when buying points by January 14, 2025. The promotion does appear to be one of the “mystery bonus” offers as the buy points landing page states up to an 85% bonus but once you log in the offer can change – my offer after logging in showed up to a 100% bonus.
The up to 100% bonus offer:
Receive up to a 100% bonus when you buy or gift 5,000 or more Air Canada Aeroplan points. Valid until Jan 14, 25. Click here to learn more and/or to buy Aeroplan points.
Bonuses as follows:
- Buy 5,000 – 25,000 points = 55% bonus
- Buy 30,000 – 70,000 points = 75% bonus
- Buy 70,000 – 500,000 points = 100% bonus
Does it make sense to buy points?
When you buy points with an 100% bonus your cost on each point is 1.75 cents (C$) each before taxes (1.83-2 cents with taxes, depending on which province you live in).
We value Aeroplan points at a minimum of 1.5 cents each but the program does provide the ability to get much more than that. If you find the right award flights at the right time you can easily redeem points with values well over 2 cents per point. At that point, by all means it is worth to buy them so that you can achieve a discount on your flights.

Wrapping it up
The up to 100% bonus for buying Air Canada Aeroplan points is one of the better offers (we have seen higher though!) from Air Canada and if you have some immediate or near immediate redemptions in mind where you can extract more value then you should jump on this offer. If not, we do not recommend buying points speculatively and to just wait for the next sale!
