Who Should Buy Aeroplan Points?

If you’re strategic about travel rewards, buying points during a strong promotion like this can be a game-changer for your travel plans. Here are the key scenarios where purchasing points makes sense:

Reach Your Dream Destination Faster

Are you just a few thousand points short of that trip to Europe or Asia you’ve been planning? Instead of waiting months to accumulate more points through everyday spending, you can purchase exactly what you need and book your trip now. This is especially valuable for those larger, dream trips that require significant point balances.

Never Miss Last-Minute Getaways

We’ve all been there – an incredible flight deal pops up, but your Aeroplan balance is too low to take advantage of it. When you have the ability to buy points instantly, you’re always ready for spontaneous travel opportunities. Don’t let a low balance stop you from jumping on time-sensitive deals or last-minute adventures.

Treat It Like a Travel Savings Fund

Think of buying Aeroplan points the same way you’d save up for any major purchase. You can strategically top up your account throughout the year, especially during promotions like this one, building your “travel fund” for future adventures. It’s a proactive approach to ensuring you have the points you need when the perfect travel opportunity arises.

How Long Does It Take to Receive Points?

Point purchases through Aeroplan (processed by Points.com) typically post within 24-72 hours. In my personal experience purchasing points it has been nearly instantaneous.

However, If you’re chasing a specific award availability, make sure to factor in this processing time before the seats disappear.

Previous Promotions

Aeroplan runs periodic promotions on purchased points throughout the year, with bonus percentages varying based on market conditions and seasonal demand.

The current 100% bonus represents one of the strongest offers we’ve seen in 2025. The last time we saw a higher bonus was on July 8, 2024, when Aeroplan offered up to a 125% bonus on purchased points.

While it’s possible we could see another 125% promotion in the future, these top-tier offers are quite rare. If you have immediate travel plans or know you’ll need to top up your account soon, this current promotion presents a great opportunity.

The Bottom Line

Aeroplan’s Black Friday mystery bonus promotion offers compelling value for members who have specific redemptions in mind or who want to build their travel fund strategically. The key is having a plan for your points.

Check your personalized offer in your Aeroplan account and decide if now is the right time to invest in your future travels. The promotion runs until December 17, 2025, giving you time to evaluate your options and make an informed decision.
