Redeeming Rewards
Aeroplan points can be redeemed for flights around the world on Air Canada and any of the Star Alliance partnership airlines.
Aeroplan points can also be redeemed for hotels, car rentals, and merchandise. The redemption value, or cent per point, is very poor for these types of redemptions and as a result, they should be avoided.
