Aeroplan's 30% points sale ends Nov 18 and RBC Avion adds a 30% Avios bonus

It's a good week to be sitting on a rewards card. Two limited-time point deals are live, a premium card just picked up a hotel perk, and a Canadian airline is stretching its summer 2027 map across Europe. Let's get into it.

Air Canada is running a limited-time promotion on purchased Aeroplan points, with eligible members seeing up to a 30% discount through November 18. Your discount may vary, so check your own offer before you commit.

Points with a Crew has a useful companion piece asking whether this sale is actually worth buying into, drawing on an Aeroplan round-the-world trip. The short version of the question: only buy points when you have a specific redemption in mind, not just because they are cheaper than usual.

A 30% discount is a real sale, but it only pays off if you have a concrete award booking to use the points on. You have until November 18 to run the numbers.

RBC is currently running a promotion that gives you an increased amount of Avios when you transfer your Avion points. Frugal Flyer has the details on how the bonus works and what to watch for before you move any points.

If Avios is already on your radar, there is also a handy tip this week on combining Avios into a single account at very low cost using Finnair Avios.

Transfer bonuses are the best way to stretch Avion points, but only transfer if you have an Avios redemption lined up. Transfers are one-way, so don't move points on a hunch.

Amex Platinum and Business Platinum cardholders in Canada can now enrol in complimentary ALL Accor Gold status, a third hotel status alongside the ones the card already offers. Prince of Travel walks through how to enrol.

Prince of Travel's companion guide also notes you can earn up to 50 Accor Status Nights a year without a single stay, and that Platinum cardholders can now get Gold at no extra cost.

If you carry an Amex Platinum, this is free value for the taking. Enrol now, even if you don't have an Accor trip planned yet.

Air Transat is adding five non-stop routes to Europe for summer 2027, including Geneva and Birmingham. The most new flights are from Quebec City and Montreal.

More non-stop options from Quebec City and Montreal means more choice for summer 2027 trips. Start watching schedules and fares now.

Hilton for Business members earn double Hilton Honors elite night credits, plus up to 5 bonus nights, on business-rate stays through December 31, 2026. Prince of Travel notes that can be enough to reach Gold or higher status.

If you or your employer book business-rate stays anyway, this is an easy way to speed up elite status before the year ends.

That's the week. Check your Aeroplan offer before November 18, and happy travels.
