Program Insights
Why Aeroplan Miles Are a Star Alliance Powerhouse
Aeroplan went through a major refresh in 2020 with a distance-based award chart, mixed-cabin redemptions, and improved partner pricing across the Star Alliance network. Aeroplan miles unlock premium cabin seats on Lufthansa, ANA, Swiss, and EVA Air at rates competitive with the best Star Alliance currencies. iBuyPoints buys Aeroplan balances from members who would rather have cash than navigate the booking complexity.
Star Alliance Premium Cabin Access
Aeroplan books Lufthansa First Class, ANA First, and Swiss Business Class on partner routings, redemptions that hold their value across the secondary market.
Distance-Based Award Chart
The 2020 chart rewards short and medium-haul routes especially well, and healthy balances move quickly through our buyer network.
Stopover-Friendly Awards
Aeroplan permits stopovers on award tickets for a modest fee, meaning each mile carries more practical itinerary value than most competing programs.
Manual Aeroplan Account Handling
Air Canada actively monitors Aeroplan accounts for unusual booking patterns. Every Aeroplan transaction we process is booked manually by a specialist using legitimate Star Alliance routings, keeping account activity within normal patterns.
Sweet Spots
What Aeroplan Could Theoretically Book
Here is what these points could book at peak efficiency. The catch: sweet-spot redemptions require flexible dates, available award space, and a willingness to pay cash for trips like these if you couldn't redeem. Most points holders never end up using them.

115,000 to 140,000 pts

The Practical Path
Or skip the chase.
Sweet spots only deliver value if your dates line up with available award space and you'd have paid cash for the trip. For everyone else, points sit idle. Cash works for rent, tuition, a remodel, or your next trip booked your way.
Cash converts your points to spending power you actually use. Most sellers prefer cash today over the gamble of an aspirational redemption they may never book.
Why People Sell
Common Reasons Aeroplan Members Cash Out
Most sellers fall into one of these categories. If you recognize your situation, you are in good company.
Sweet Spots Are Hard to Book
Lufthansa First Class only opens 14 days before departure. ANA First has limited inventory. Many Aeroplan holders accumulate balances they can never actually book.
Post-2020 Devaluation Pressure
Aeroplan restructured in 2020 and has tightened partner pricing each year since. Locking in cash today beats waiting through more adjustments.
Status No Longer Worth Chasing
Members who no longer fly Air Canada regularly lose access to many member benefits. Without status, balances are just liability.
Cash for Major Expenses
Down payment, tuition, medical bills, or business cash flow. Aeroplan miles do not pay rent. Cash does.
Card Sign-Up Saturation
Canadian Aeroplan credit cards generate large balances from sign-up bonuses, but using those points well requires premium-cabin trip planning most members do not do.
Program History
Aeroplan Devaluations Over Time
Loyalty programs adjust their value mechanics regularly. Looking at the past helps frame the timing question: hold and hope, or lock in known cash value today.
- 202020
Award Chart Restructure
Aeroplan replaced its zone-based award chart with a distance-based one. Many premium cabin redemptions became more expensive, especially long-haul partner awards.
- 222022
Partner Pricing Tightened
Star Alliance partner awards saw price increases across multiple distance bands. Lufthansa First Class costs rose meaningfully.
- 242023 to 2024
Incremental Adjustments Continue
Each year brings small adjustments to partner pricing, surcharges on certain carriers, and changes to upgrade options. The cumulative effect compounds.
