Aeroplan 110% buy bonus: 1.79 cents per point, but only if you can beat 2.1 cpp.

Air Canada Aeroplan's latest buy points offer runs through July 19, 2026, and delivers up to a 110% bonus — the highest in recent memory. But the bonus is personalized: some members see only 90% max. At the 110% tier, buying 90,000+ points nets a cost of 1.79 Canadian cents per point, but after GST/HST the true cost rises to 1.88–2.06 cents depending on your province. With a standard valuation of 1.5 cents per point, you need to target redemptions worth at least 2.1 cents per point to break even. Only pull the trigger if you have a specific high-value award in mind.

the play

Log in to check your personal bonus tier before July 19, 2026, and buy only if your target Aeroplan award yields 2.1 cents per point or more after tax.

IHG Points & Cash: 15% off cash portion equals 0.51c/point, book by Aug 24.

IHG's targeted Points & Cash sale knocks 15% off the cash portion, effectively pricing purchased points at 0.51 US cents each — among the lowest we've seen. Remember, IHG doesn't offer true Points & Cash; they sell you points at booking that you then redeem as a full award. Cancel the stay and those purchased points return to your account, but the cash is gone. This is a decent way to top off your IHG balance if you've hit the annual purchase limit, with bookings due by August 24 for stays through September 7, 2026.

the play

Book a Points & Cash stay by August 24 if you need IHG points at 0.51¢ each or have a specific redemption in mind, but only if you're certain of the dates since the cash portion is non-refundable.
