Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.

Aeroplan Offering 35% Conversion Bonus (Highest Ever!)

Aeroplan is really making an effort to step up their game, as their contract ends with Air Canada. I am uncertain what their long term plans are at the moment, probably trying to find new partners. However, in the meantime, they are definitely trying to make a splash.

How the Offer Works
