You can currently buy Aeroplan points with a 90% bonus. This isn’t quite as high as some of the big promos we’ve seen lately, but still a pretty solid deal.
Even though Aeroplan is a Canadian program, plenty of people in Australia get good value from it. It partners with Virgin Australia, and, of course Air Canada is part of Star Alliance. This allows you to use Aeroplan points to book reward seats on airlines like Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, United, and of course Air Canada
Aeroplan is a popular program for many points enthusiasts in Australia as it has some great sweet spots and surprisingly flexible rules. The catch, for those of us in Australia, is that earning Aeroplan points here is pretty tough. Yes, there are card options such as the HSBC Star Alliance card. However, for many, buying points ends up being the main practical way to build a meaningful balance.

Buying Aeroplan points when there’s a discount or a chunky bonus can be a pretty handy way to get yourself into Business or even First Class without paying the eye‑watering cash fares. It’s one of the easier paths to those premium cabins at a reasonable out‑of‑pocket cost.
The usual caveat applies, though: it’s always worth checking reward availability before you jump on a promo. Points sitting idle in your account don’t really do anything for you, and airlines can devalue without warning. Keeping an “earn and burn” mindset is the safest way to make sure you actually get the value you’re aiming for.
