Buy Aeroplan Points: Up to 90% More Until October 29, 2026

The short version

Until October 29, 2026, Aeroplan adds up to 90% more points when you buy them, but only for members it emailed.
The bonus grows with the amount: 50% from 5,000 points, 75% from 30,000 and 90% from 80,000.
In my cart, 100,000 points plus the 90,000 bonus came to CA$3,750, about 1.97 cents per point, charged in Canadian dollars.
Aeroplan's sales usually reach 100%, so this one is a little below normal.

Aeroplan's buy points sale is back, with up to 90% more points until October 29, 2026. The email landed in my inbox on October 14, and like most Aeroplan sales lately, it's targeted: only members who got it can use the bonus.

I put 100,000 points in my cart to see the real cost. It came to CA$3,750 for 190,000 points, which works out to about 1.97 cents per point.

Is it a good sale?

It's a normal one, slightly below Aeroplan's usual.

Most of its sales in the last two years went up to 100%, and a three-day flash sale in July 2026 reached 110%.

At 100%, the same CA$3,750 would have bought 200,000 points, about 1.88 cents each. That's less than a tenth of a cent better. If you need points for a trip now, I wouldn't wait for a bigger bonus.

What a point is worth

I value Aeroplan points at about 2 cents per point (cpp) when they go toward flights, mostly premium cabins. Buying at 1.97 cents means you're paying close to what the points are worth to me.

So buying only makes sense for a specific award.

Find the seat first, check how many points you're missing, then buy that amount (and maybe a little more to reach the next bonus tier).

How to buy

Sign in to your Aeroplan account and open the buy points page.
Choose how many points you want. The bonus for your account shows up in the cart before you pay.
Check the total. Canadians are charged in Canadian dollars, so there's no foreign transaction fee.

Purchases are final. You can't get a refund or send the points back, so be sure about the award before you pay.

Can you transfer instead?

If you have American Express Membership Rewards points, they move to Aeroplan at 1:1, usually within 30 minutes. Amex doesn't run transfer bonuses to Aeroplan, but 1:1 is already a good rate.

Hotel points can go too, at worse rates: Hyatt at 2:1, Marriott Bonvoy at 3:1, IHG at 5:1 and Hilton at 10:1. My transfer partners page has every route.

Final Thoughts

This is a fair sale, not a great one.

Aeroplan has run one every month or two in 2026, so there's no rush if you don't have a trip in mind.

If you do, the numbers are simple: about 1.97 cents a point at the top tier, paid in Canadian dollars. For a business class seat that would cost a lot more in cash, that can be a good deal.
