Why Sell Aeroplan Miles in 2026?

Aeroplan is arguably the most versatile program in the Star Alliance network, but it has become increasingly difficult for individual travelers to maximize. In 2026, selling your miles is the smartest move for several reasons:

  • Dynamic Pricing Pitfalls: Air Canada uses dynamic pricing for its own flights. This means a flight that cost 60,000 miles yesterday could cost 150,000 today. Selling your miles locks in a fixed cash value.

  • Partner Booking Fees: Aeroplan charges a flat $39 partner booking fee on every ticket. While it sounds small, it eats into the value of your “free” flight.

  • Expiration Risk: Your Aeroplan miles expire after just 18 months of inactivity. If you aren’t flying Air Canada regularly, your hard-earned rewards could vanish.

  • Family Sharing Issues: While Aeroplan allows “Family Sharing,” many users find their accounts locked or flagged when trying to pool points for large redemptions. Selling to a broker avoids these technical headaches.
