The standard price for buying Aeroplan points varies. With the current 100% bonus, the cost comes down to 1.87 cents per point (excluding taxes). Purchasing 160,000 Aeroplan points (80,000 points + 80,000 additional bonus points), for example, will cost you $3,000. Please note that the bonus percentages vary depending on the number of points you buy and your profile, as these offers may differ for Aeroplan members. So it's important to calculate before you buy.

Is it worth buying Aeroplan points?

Buying Aeroplan points is only worthwhile in certain specific cases: if you're a few points short of what you need to book an attractive award, or if the value of the ticket obtained with the points far exceeds the purchase price. According to our estimate, one Aeroplan point is worth 2 cents. If you buy below this threshold (as in the 1.84 cent/point promotion), the purchase may be relevant. It's important to note, however, that earning points through credit card welcome bonuses is often more advantageous.
