Air Canada Aeroplan is the anchor of the Canadian travel-rewards market and a Star Alliance programme, so the points you earn redeem across Air Canada and partners worldwide.
Flexible currencies vs. co-brands
American Express Membership Rewards (Canada) and the Amex Cobalt earn a transferable currency you can move to Aeroplan and other partners. Bank cards like the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite, CIBC Aventura, RBC Avion and Scotia Passport each earn into their own ecosystems — useful when you know exactly how you'll redeem.
Cash or points — always compare
Compare the cash fare against the Aeroplan cost for the same route before you book. Pointify shows both in Canadian dollars so the cheaper option is obvious.
Where to start
- Set your home airport (YYZ, YVR, YUL, YYC) and frequent routes.
- Pick a card whose currency reaches Aeroplan or a partner you'll actually use.
- Accumulate with a concrete trip in mind.
A smaller balance redeemed well beats a big balance that never flies.
