The 5 Best Travel Rewards Points Currencies for Canadians (Sept 2025 Update)
I completed an update to our ranking of the best travel rewarts points currencies for Canadians this week. There is no change in the actual rankings just updated some descriptions, terminology and I fixed some of my poor grammar.
I did come very close to adjusting the rankings to have Scene+ rank solely as #2 and Aeroplan as #3 as the former has more flexibility and tends to provide better value for a large amount of the Canadian population but that’s when you include a Scotiabank credit card. Take credit cards out of the equation and Aeroplan provides more value for those who may not hold a credit card in either program – so they kind of balance each other out and thus remain tied for second!
These are the top 5 travel points currencies in Canada:
1. American Express Membership Rewards Points
2 (Tie). Air Canada Aeroplan Points
2 (Tie). Scene+ Points
4. RBC Avion Rewards Points
5. AIR MILES

WestJet to modernize cabins on their all economy 737s
WestJet has announced a major cabin refresh for the portion of their Boeing 737 fleet that have featured an all economy class layout (Swoop, Sunwing etc. planes) to bring them more inline with the rest of the WestJet fleet:
WestJet’s new aircraft interior will feature a refreshed Premium cabin with 12 new seats that are the same model as in WestJet’s 787-9 Dreamliner fleet: ergonomically contoured seat cushions, reclining seat backs and a large headrest with four-way adjustment capability.
In the economy cabin, the new and larger Extended Comfort section, located directly behind Premium features 36 seats with extra legroom and will be separated from the Economy cabin by a cabin divider. Exit row seating in the Economy cabin remains an option for travellers who want the most legroom.
The standard seating in the Economy cabin offers choices ranging from less space at the back to more space near the front of the cabin, and upgraded seats featuring seatback contouring to maximize legroom, ergonomically designed, contoured bottom and back cushions.
Also in the press release is this line “…that features new seats, adjustable headrests and enhanced cushion and back support with a fixed recline design in Economy that helps preserve personal space.” So it should be noted, the majority of the economy class cabin will have seats that do not recline.
