Before you sell: know the risk

Selling Aeroplan points is against the Aeroplan terms and conditions. The terms say points cannot be traded, bartered, exchanged for cash or otherwise transferred, and that a breach may result in the termination of your membership and the cancellation of the affected points. We cannot promise how Air Canada will respond to a sale.

Price guarantee: the price per point we agree with you in writing by email is the price we pay once your points transfer is complete.

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.

Air Canada is a founding member of Star Alliance, so Aeroplan points can be earned and used on partner airlines such as United, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines. The member list changes, so check Star Alliance’s member page for the current one.

How to Sell Your Aeroplan Miles: Our 3-Step Process

At The Points King, we treat your miles like the high-value currency they are.

  1. Submit Your Balance: Fill out our secure form with your Aeroplan mileage total. We specialize in high-volume accounts (100k+ miles).

  2. Confirm: We confirm your balance and the transfer steps by email.

  3. Receive Cash: You transfer the points, and we pay by PayPal once we confirm the transfer. Most customers are paid within 15 minutes of completing the transfer.

Aeroplan Elite Status

Air Canada Altitude was replaced by Aeroplan Elite Status, which has five levels: 25K, 35K, 50K, 75K and Super Elite. Members now qualify by collecting Status Qualifying Credits (SQC), which are based mainly on what they spend on Air Canada flights, with smaller amounts from partners and Aeroplan credit cards. The rules change, so check Air Canada’s Aeroplan Elite Status page for the current details.

Other ways to earn Aeroplan miles are:

  • Flying with any of the member airlines of Star Alliance or other partner airlines such as Copa Airlines and Eurowings.
  • Renting a car from Budget and other car rental agencies.
  • Staying at Wyndham, Marriott, Aloft Hotels and other partner hotel chains.
  • Purchasing from some of the many participating merchants, like eBay and Apple.
  • Using an Aeroplan co-branded credit card.

Aeroplan points transfer in from Chase, as our Chase transfer partners guide lists, and Air Canada changed how they are earned in 2026: see airline points vs. miles. We also buy United and Avianca LifeMiles miles.

How much are my Aeroplan miles worth?

We do not publish a rate, because it moves with demand and with the size of the balance. Tell us how many points you have and we email you a price in writing; the price we agree is the price we pay. For context, The Points Guy values Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents each for travel (October 2026), and a cash offer from any broker will be lower than that.

Aeroplan miles are currently one of the most stable currencies in the mileage market. Because they can be transferred from American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Capital One, there is a high “wholesale” demand.

  • Bulk Rates: Larger balances can receive a better price per mile.

  • Elite Status: If you hold Aeroplan 50K, 75K, or Super Elite status, your miles may command a higher price due to lower cancellation fees and better access to inventory.

  • Quotes: Market prices for Aeroplan fluctuate based on international travel seasons. We reply with a quote by email.
