Amex Aeroplan Credit Cards: Up to 25% Points Back on Redemptions!

    Ok so I did this in part successfully. Booked Montreal-Barcelona return back on July 4 before the new change policy was implemented.  I think it was 155K points for two people economy return – not too bad.  Would expect 38K points back. However, the week before our trip one signature class ticket came up for 57K one way to Barcelona – only about 20K more than the economy one way.  To take advantage of this Aeroplan call center had to split my ticket into two separate bookings.  And then on the way back we changed our economy to business class Swiss Air for 35K points per person more.  So I think all  in we spent 245K points for two people return, with three of those segments in business class – one of which was signature class – probably a bit pricey but not too bad.  I would have expected approx 62K points back at 25% but the rebate points just posted today (today is Oct 13 – travel was completed Oct 4, 2022) but only got 31K back because I split the ticket which generated two separate booking numbers – the original booking number remained for one ticket which is where I got the points back – and I got the points – despite multiple changes to that ticket.  I think I am still ok with everything 214K points for business return for 3 of the 4 segments to Europe is not too bad.  If I had got the full points I would have got a screaming deal. I used Amex Aeroplan Reserve Card to book and deal with any fees (there were not really any except seat selection on one of the legs but I made sure to use that card).

    Can you recall when the points are supposed to be posted?

    Wondered if anybody received points credit at that point?

    Would the bonus apply to reservations using the Chase Aeroplan 50K vouchers?

    Hi Ricky and others, what happens if my points are shared with my family but I want to book a flight with “my” points (since I’m the only one with the Amex Aeroplan reserve card). Would the 25% points back be applicable to the whole family pot of points or will it only be for the prorated portion of the points that my account used?

      As a follow up point, I ask this because when I book anything. Prorated amounts get taken off each member of the family so not sure how this promo applies here..

    Quick question, anyone know that if I cancel booking on ANA/AC metals, will be space being added back to Aeroplan inventory instantly so I can re-book, or it’s a huge YMMV? thank you!

    Hello. Thanks for that info, as always : ) 5 days ago I booked one ticket using 146,000 aeroplan points. Vanc-Dubai-Cairo-Paris-Toronto-Vancouver. I have an amex aeroplan card, which I paid the taxes with. 1) I understand to get this 20% aeroplan miles back I must cancel this trip and rebook it, correct? And 2) They all occur b4 Dec 30 except the last leg from TO to Vanc. Thus, would I get 20% of points for all travel except last leg? And as its one ticket, does that complicate/invalid the offer because a small end leg occurs after Dec 30th? Thanks.

    When do I get the 25% back?

  11. Mendy Igel

    Will I get the 25% even if I cancel my card in the next two months?

    1. Omar YYZ

      No, card must remain active. Its in the fine print.

    2. Omar YYZ

      NO. card must remain valid until points are awarded. It’s stipulated in the fine print

      1. Mendy Igel

        Thanks

    Does this work in conjunction with “latitude attitude”?

    1. Ricky YVR

      Yes!

    1. Tim

      What browser did you use? Button still not working for me.

  14. Pola

    Same. The button is not pressable

    If I apply for the American express aeroplan card today, and register for this promotion, would I be eligible as well, or do I need to already be a card holder?

    @DM same here. Tried different browsers, same issue.

  18. DM

    The button on the registration link is frozen. It doesn’t do anything. Is anyone else facing the same problem?
