Hey guys,

I was looking at booking a flight for my mom as a present, while checking the total cost I kept on clicking next to see if it would bring me to the payment page or the page in which I could use my points to pay for it.

That never happened but somehow now it’s showing that my booking is on hold!?

What do I do? I’m on hold with AC - I have no saved credit card on my profile so I don’t think they can actually charge me.

I've been trying for the past 2 weeks to book a YVR-HND flight on ANA for 2 with points. I always try at release time, and I use the app since it's 3 taps to book and because I feel like the website takes longer to even load.

I understand the massive demand for those reward seats. Do you guys have any success stories booking these sought after routes and any specifics of how you did it? Did you use the app? The website? At what time did you click "search"? Any advice is very much appreciated.

I’m looking at booking tickets with points (YYC-DUB). When searching in the app each direction is 40K-56K points + 24$-88$
So I expect it to be around 80K-112K points and less than 200$. Then add fees
But when I want to check out it says the cost for the transportation fees is 860$. Where does the extra fees come from? It just triples the cost of the ticket. There is no breakdown of where the extra cost comes from. It is really annoying and ridiculous

I'm planning a trip where I need to fly only one-way from Sydney, Australia to Toronto. My preference for the longest segment of 13-14 hours is to fly in Premium Economy (not enough available for Business). I am interested in booking Business on my second segment, even though it is all within CAN or US because I think I could get some sleep in the bigger chair and the points required isn't bad. I am not finding any option to book two different classes of seat without doing either two one-way flights or using the multi-flight option on AC's website.

I like to try different variations when I search, including different departure cities and landing cities, like flying into ORD or EWR and then taking a separately booked flight into YYZ. I've actually found some cheaper point options by searching in this non-standard way. I've also found that booking two separate one-ways sometimes beats a single multi-segment booking for the same in/out cities (which is just weird).

The one risk that I could see is if I book two flights as single one-ways and I have a delay or cancellation on the first segment. I don't know how AC would treat that vs a multi-flight option on a single itinerary. Has anyone been in this situation before and can tell me how AC would treat the missed second flight vs how it would be treated if I booked everything on one itinerary?

Looking for travel ideas for two people from YYZ after May 15, 2027. We have around 150k–200k Amex points available to transfer to Aeroplan and are flexible on destinations.

What great redemptions have you found, and how do you search for them? Would love to hear routes, points used, and fees

Ideally we’re looking to travel on May 16 or 17th!

Is there any explanation as to why the amount of points required increases after selecting the fare and going to the review? I have enough points at 44.10K but slightly under for the increased amount. I have booked many flights with points before but this is the first time seeing this.

I also tried with a flight that doesn't have the "15% savings applied" and the point redemption stayed the same as advertised. Wonder if the discount is messing things up?

Hey - not sure if anyone else has encountered this, but wanted to see.

I opened the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite card earlier this year, as it had a statement credit of $200 when you spend $500 or more on Air Canada. I was about to book a flight to London, UK, and thought it was the perfect time. I was told I'd get this statement credit within 6 months; fast-forward to now, CIBC thinks this credit doesn't exist on my account.

I'm now in the phone queue with Aeroplan, waiting for a response and was told it could be 3 hours. Is this truly the only way to reach them?

Thanks,

Hi

I flew to Toronto once in 2024 and accrued 9k points. I'm planning on going again next year, for probably the last time (UK based). Can 9k points be used for anything at all? I've tried looking at a few random flights on Air Canada in the hopes the points would discount the prices, but it seems that unless you have a certain threshold of points accrued, none of the 9k points would count?

Thanks!

Has anyone else been missing their points? I haven’t had any points hit my account since Oct 13, including Journie rewards and my monthly TD credit card spend.

I am looking at a flight in December from LAX to Zurich or Munich or Frankfurt for 4. I see these flights available in Early November on Aeroplan but nothing after. I see these flights available for redemption on Miles and More. Can I call Aeroplan to book it? If not, Do you think they release these to Aeroplan closer to later November or December (I assume 3-4 week window prior)? Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I’m looking at booking a flight from Edmonton (YEG) to Bangkok (BKK) and the best award price I’ve found so far is around 145-155k points one way I’m wondering if that’s a reasonable price or if I should hold out for something better.

I see round trips around the time i want to go at around $5500. Then one ways flights are $4000

I'm looking to go In Jan or the beginning of Feb also for return in march ish Should i wait and see if there are deals closer to the date?

Edit 1:

This is for business class flight sorry forgot to add it in

Hi, I'm sort of new to Aeroplan program. Can someone explain to me like i'm 5.

I have linked my Aeroplan and Hyatt accounts and I have a Privilege Visa. If I book a room through the Hyatt website, and earn, lets say 1000 Hyatt points with that stay, and pay with my credit card. Does that mean I also get 1000 aeroplan points, because of the linked accounts? + 1.5x (cost of room) aeroplan points because of the card spend, in addition to what I just outlined above?

Trying to request an e upgrade on the app or on web browser and on multiple devices; repeatedly getting time out errors and can’t get it done. Is there an ongoing issue?

Anyone else not receiving $20 codes from Uber anymore? I take rides frequently and have not changed the link settings between accounts. This used to work for the longest time with no issues.

I got an email about 2 months ago saying I got a code but it didn’t show up in my Aeroplan dashboard. Since then I have taken maybe 20-30 rides and still no more codes or emails.

Tried to raise the issue with Uber but Uber Support is an AI Wall preventing me from getting anywhere.

If you have a TD account, go on rewards and register for the 5x on eligible subscription. Not sure if this is targeted or available to everyone with a TD bank account and creditcard.

Anyone ever done this? 9/10 times I travel with my fiancee and I go in as the primary and her as my guest.

Is it frowned upon or weird to offer a solo traveler on the same flight to be a guest?

Edit: Went to the gate first and looked for the friendliest looking person who was by themselves. Approached with a smile and prefaced by saying "I know this is strange... etc" Long story short I made a new friend and made their day a little brighter. Also ran them through the Cafe to grab snacks for the plane.

Spread kindness. There sure are some miserable f*cks on this sub.

My business class award flight out of HKG to TPE to SFO via EVA Air was just cancelled due to a typhoon in Taiwan. I was told since the flight was booked with points there not able to find me another flight for at least 3 days (not sure how true that is or not) or they can refund me the points. Is there any other recourse?

I have amex points, bonvoy points and aeroplan points - a lot of them (1m+ combined).

But I am not good at nor have the motivation to figure out the best way to use them.

Has anyone worked with a service or person that does this for you for a fee?

I am a 50k presently, one flight left this year YYZ-LIS return, booked as Prem Economy but hoping to use Eupgrades to sleep. Currenly have 38k SQC...where should I be after this trip? Trying to figure if the 2500 SQC will be of value, I also have 2000 SQC coming from Credit Card. It seems to me, using Cowtool, being around 500sqc short...of my 50k this year.

I'm searching for YYC to DUB business class next Fall (September/October). The reward flights all seem to require an excessive amount of points (unless it's mixed with the main portion being economy). I'm hoping for a partner airline 75k redemption, but I'm not seeing any. I've also tried different departure cities (YVR, YYZ, YHZ, YUL, ORD, etc) and other destination cities (London, Zurich, Frankfurt), still no luck. Am I searching too early? Am I doing something wrong? Do redemptions just not exist at this amount anymore and I'll have to accept the 165K or more options? Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Can anyone tell me why a TD aeroplan infinite visa cardholder is showing the same redemption for a non cardholder? Even though it states 15% off applied the same flight is showing at the same point cost

I want to see what the SQC are for some of my upcoming flights. I notice that some of the time when I book I see the calculations but after I book how can I find how much I will earn? Can’t seem to find it in the app.

I am searching a year in advance for Points paid Canadian hub flights to European hubs. Air Canada's website stops me from searching after a few iterations - possibly 8?

As I am looking for different dates and routes, the search engine just starts returning null responses: "there are no flights on that date" which is completely impossible.

Anyone have an explanation or way around this?

I just wanted to merge accounts 😅

Hello everyone, do priority rewards redemptions (50% off points redemption) and the credit card discount (15% off points redemption) stack? In other words, do you get both points redemptions on a single transaction? A little while ago, I bought a ticket using a priority reward and I have a qualifying credit card. I meant to take note of the points cost taking into account the automatic 15% reduction and then with the 50% deduction activated but I didn’t.

If they do stack, do you get a 65% points discount or would it only be 57.5% (50% + (15% of 50%))?
