How to redeem for single trip air ticket with Aeroplan?

[gaore]

Round trip air ticket needs 75000 Aeroplan miles from CA to Asia,

but I have only 40000 Aeroplan miles.

I think I can redeem single trip air ticket, checked aeroplan website,

it only shows round trip option.

Can I redeem for single trip ticket ? Thanks.

[15-20_God]

did you try calling them to ask? thanks.

[gaore]

I'll try. Thank you.

Two years ago, I was in the same boat, and called Aeroplan for detail... and I was told 1-way ticket redemption is not allowed.
Not sure things changed mean while...

they are allowed now, but the cost will be more than just half of a round trip ticket.

I have tonnes of Aeroplan points I can't use. Wish there's a way I can sell some to you.

I believe you can use your points and exchange them for a ticket in another person's name.

Hi, buddies. I called Aeroplan CSR, they told me 42500 for single trip, they

can redeem points manually for me.

:-0 why you can not use Aeroplan points?

How much will you sell 3000 miles to me? By Paypal ?

I don't have time to travel. Too busy with work.

Anyways, not sure if there's cost to me for transferring 3000 points to you. If there is, then you'll have to pick up the cost. PM me.

transferring points isn't worth it.
if you really want 3000 pts, buy them from aeroplan at 3 cents/mile.
I believe they charge 2 cents to transfer them.

if you really need 3000 pts, just sign up for the cibc aeroclassic visa which gives 5000 for signing up and try to get them to waive the $29 annual fee.
I've done that.

for people who say they don't have time to travel, they should exchange the aeroplan for stuff like future shop or esso gc's etc.
but, your best bang for the buck are air tickets.
aeroplan has stuff like air miles now.

Yeah, I called Aeroplan, they told me that transfering points costs 2c/p,

and buying points costs 4c/p. I prefer buying.

I called CIBC VISA, I'm currently having CIBC dividend VISA, I can not

apply the Aeroclassic VISA to get 5000 points. But if I upgrade my VISA

to Aeroclassic VISA, they'll give me 2500 points. I have two questions, thanks

1. How could you ask them to waive $29 annual fee?

2. How long did you wait to get Aeroplan points? After first statement?

Thanks again.

Not worth to transfer. Thanks. anyway.

If you don't have time to travel, will you consider to donate ?

Aeroplan called " Beyond point".

[any007]

forget what the cibc rep says to you.

check out the cibc visa credit card promotions on their website.
Until July 31, if you sign up for the aeroclassic, they'll give you 5000 points after the 1st use.
Once you get the card, and make your first purchase, you'll get the points when you receive your 1st statement.

They'll charge you the $29 annual fee. I really can't tell you how to get it back. It's basically tough negotiating.

As for the $29, for 5000 pts, it's way better than paying 2 cents or 4 cents/mile.

But, you have to act fast.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did check out the deal. It's not really good. Years ago, I traded 125,000 Cathay Pacific Marco Polo Club points for a Mizuno Golf Club set (worth about $1200 at the time). But 125,000 points only gets me a $500 dish washer thru Aeroplan. :(

Actually, I buy plan tickets for relatives. My parents are going to LA in October for 50,000 pts. But the 2 tickets still cost me more than $200 in service charges.

[any007]

when you redeem for aeroplan, you still pay for everything except the gst.
$0x6% is $0.
just 2 years ago, aeroplan didn't charge many of the surcharges like fuel, security etc. but now everything.

Thanks. After you made your first purchase, how long the AP points credited

to your Aeroplan account?
