Rove Miles now transfers to Qantas at 1:1, with a 50% bonus through August 14, 2026, effectively giving you 1.5 Qantas points per Rove mile. The key value: Qantas offers better award availability on its own flights to Qantas members than to partner programs like American AAdvantage, Alaska Mileage Plan, or British Airways. That means you can book seats on Qantas that American members can't even see. Plus, Qantas has unique partners like El Al and Aircalin (to Noumea). Rove even supports live Qantas award searches on its site.

Air Canada's buy-points promo runs through July 19, offering up to a 110% bonus on 90,000+ points purchased. That drops the base cost to 1.79 Canadian cents per point, but provincial GST/HST—up to 15% in some provinces—bumps the real cost to 1.88–2.06¢ each. The house values Aeroplan at 1.5¢ per point, so you need to redeem at 2.0–2.1¢ or better to break even. This isn't a no-brainer; it's a targeted buy for specific high-value awards only.
