Air Canada Adopts Spend-Based Aeroplan Status
Air Canada is jumping on the unpopular bandwagon of awarding status based on the amount of money you spend, following the likes of Virgin Australia and British Airways.

Air Canada Aeroplan points are highly valuable because you can redeem them online for Business Class flights on lots of different partner airlines, with no fuel surcharges. During Aeroplan’s latest promotion, you can get up to an 85% bonus when buying points.
You can now convert PayRewards points into British Airways Avios, Vietnam Airlines Lotusmiles and more, as Pay.com.au adds more airline and hotel transfer partners.
Aeroplan is moving to dynamic award prices for redemptions on certain partner airlines such as Etihad and United. This is part of a bigger frequent flyer program trend.
In an unprecedented move, Air Canada has quietly removed checked baggage from its cheapest Economy airfares on trans-Pacific routes.
