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.

Cathay Singapore promo: S$138 off long-haul, but only 50 slots on the code.

Cathay Pacific has two member-exclusive promo codes for Singapore round-trips through 15 Sep 2026. CX80SG slices S$80 off fares to Hong Kong, mainland China, and northeast Asia; CX80SGLH chops S$138 off Europe, North America, and Australasia. The catch: the S$138 code is limited to the first 50 redemptions, and S$80 caps at 500. Travel window runs 15 Sep to 10 Dec 2026. Bonus miles up to 1,946 Asia Miles apply if your membership number contains an 8 or 0, and booking also unlocks a 28% off future economy code for the first 100 tickets.

the play

Book by 15 Sep 2026, signed into your Cathay account, with CX80SG for regional hops or CX80SGLH for long-haul, but act fast on the latter given its tight 50-cap.
