We’re now the second year of TD officially taking over (from CIBC) as the official issuer of Aeroplan credit cards, and overall it’s not a bad card. I recently signed up for the card, and got myself roughly $450+ in miles and rebates!
Redeeming Aeroplan miles for a round-trip flight is the standard way to travel, but it’s certainly not the only way. Last time I covered some of the basic ways to earn and redeem Aeroplan miles for typical round-trip flights. In today’s post, I’ll cover some of the ways you can add stopovers, one-ways, and open-jaws to your Aeroplan redemption arsenal.
Aeroplan Part 1: IntroductionAeroplan is Canada’s only homegrown airline mileage program. Love it or hate it, this is the program that will make the most sense for the average Canadian traveler. As with any reward program, the goal is to strategically earn as many points/miles as possible with the least amount of effort/cost. Conversely, when it comes time to redeem those points/miles for free/cheap travel the goal is to exchange the fewest number of points/miles per dollar if you were to pay instead. Today’s post will provide a basic introduction to Aeroplan and how to earn/redeem points/miles.
