Up To 90% Bonus When Buying Air Canada Aeroplan Points [October 2025]
An affordable route to Star Alliance Business and First Class
You can now buy Aeroplan points with a 90% bonus, which is one of the better bonus offers we've seen in recent years! Aeroplan Points are some of our favourite airline points to buy when on sale, as they typically allow for easy redemptions in Business and First Class, at a fraction of the retail cost.
Aeroplan is often considered the king of airline partnerships and is also a Star Alliance member. That means there is typically a huge number of Aeroplan award space that we can utilise here in Australia. This includes Singapore Airlines, Etihad, Thai, United, Virgin Australia, Emirates, and yes… even Air Canada.
Buying Aeroplan Points at a discount or with a bonus can be a smart way to enjoy the pointy end of the plane in Business and First Class, at a reasonable price. As always, it’s important to first research availability before jumping on a deal like this. When left sitting in your account, airline points essentially have zero value. Earn and burn should always be front of mind!
Currently, Aeroplan is offering up to 90% bonus points on purchases made between 4:31pm NDT October 15 and 11:59pm PDT October 29 2025. For Australians, this means the offer ends at 5:59pm on 30 October Sydney time.

How Much Do Aeroplan Points Cost?
Aeroplan Points are sold in Canadian Dollars. Without any discounts, Air Canada charges 3.75 Canadian cents per point, which works out to around 4.2 Aussie Cents per point.
It's worth keeping in mind that by purchasing Aeroplan Points in CAD, you might attract a foreign exchange fee of around 3%, depending on the card you use. There are a number of fee-free travel debit cards, which we have covered in a full guide here. Unless the card you'll use will earn a high number of points to offset the cost, we recommend using a debit card with no FX fee such as Up, Ubank or Revolut.
Aeroplan Points are sold in different bonus tiers, with the largest bonus offered to those who purchase 70,000 points or more;
- 40% bonus when you purchase at least 4,000 Aeroplan points
- 60% bonus when you purchase at least 20,000 Aeroplan points
- 90% bonus when you purchase at least 70,000 Aeroplan points
At the highest bonus level of 90%, you would be paying 1.97 (CAD) cents per point, or approximately 2.15 (AUD) cents per point.

Previous Aeroplan Bonus Point Offers
Before you take advantage of the current offer, it’s worth knowing what Air Canada has previously offered. Here’s a list of Aeroplan Point purchase offers over the last few years;
Why Should I Be Excited About Buying Aeroplan Points?
One huge benefit of Aeroplan is its enormous list of airline partners, in addition to Star Alliance member airlines. Put simply, Aeroplan Points can get you pretty much anywhere in the world. You’ll also avoid fuel surcharges when redeeming with Aeroplan (something Emirates is well known for). So while it might cost you fewer Skywards Miles to redeem an Emirates flight, Aeroplan won’t pass on those obscene surcharges. Another cool benefit is that Aeroplan allows you to add a stopover on a one-way redemption for just 5,000 points.
The downside to Aeroplan being so good is that they do regularly block airline partners from showing award space, and then blame this on IT issues. So be sure to check the flights you want are available before purchasing Aeroplan Points!
How many Aeroplan Points Can I Buy?
Each year, members are allowed to buy up to 1,000,000 points, and each transaction is limited to 500,000.
When Do Aeroplan Points Expire?
Air Canada Aeroplan points expire if there’s no account activity for 18 months. You can easily reset the expiration date by buying, redeeming, or earning points from flying.
