Air Canada has launched a sale. It is selling Aeroplan miles at up to 30% discount, through May 13, 2026. This is one of the good discounts coming from Aeroplan and, hence, of interest.
Buy Aeroplan miles with up to a 90% Bonus.
Air Canada has launched a sale offering up to a 90% Bonus on miles purchased with Aeroplan. The offer kicks in when you buy at least 4,000 points in a single transaction. You can access the promotion on the Air Canada website.
As you can see, this is a tiered promotion, so you get the following tiers:
- Buy 4,000-25,000 points, get a 40% bonus
- Buy 30,000-60,000 points, get a 60% bonus
- Buy 70,000+ points, get a 90% bonus
Air Canada Aeroplan charges 0.0375 CAD (0.03 USD or 2.56 INR) per point. If you purchased 500,000 Aeroplan points with the 90% discount (a total of 950,000 points), you’d receive a cost of 18,750 CAD (13,661 USD or 13,08,043.91 INR), which is a rate of 1.44 USD cents or INR 1.38 per Aeroplan point.
The promotion is live from March 14 to May 31, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM PST. Even new accounts can use this promotion. For the duration of this promotion, the eligible limit of Aeroplan points that can be bought per Aeroplan account is 500,000 Aeroplan points ex bonus.
Air Canada has various partners, including non-Star Alliance carriers such as Emirates, Etihad, Gulf Air, Oman Air, and Air Mauritius. You can mix and match partner airlines for awards that allow stopovers for a modest fee of 5,000 miles. In the case of Aeroplan, there are no fuel surcharges on award tickets, meaning you should not expect to pay hefty fees when redeeming points.
Which cards should you use to buy these miles?
Typically, these point purchases are processed through Points.com, rather than directly by the hotel or airline. However, you will almost always pay in USD/EUR/GBP, not INR. Therefore, the best cards to earn a bonus are the Axis Olympus, Axis Reserve, or American Express Platinum Charge Card, as these cards offer an international spending bonus. These days, you can also consider buying with the HSBC TravelOne Card. Beyond these, consider any card that offers lower foreign-exchange conversion rates or helps you meet minimum spend requirements.
Bottomline
Air Canada is offering a 90% bonus on the purchase of Aeroplan miles through May 31, 2026 (June 1, 2026, in India). To trigger the bonus, you must buy a minimum of 5,000 miles. This will bring the price of Aeroplan miles to the lowest levels in a long time.
