I'd bid on the world cup trip! I think more trips to select sporting events that include flight, hotel and meals would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't already outside of my Aeroplan account range I'd bid on the World Cup trip. I think more "destination" style trips could be cool to include: African Safari, Tasting tour in Tuscany, etc.
ReplyDeleteOf what they have I would bid on the world cup prize. For future auctions it would be cool if they offered a large lump sum amount of aeroplan miles like 1,000,000, or some sort of arrangement where you could take a free round trip flight anywhere in the world once a month for an entire year.
ReplyDeleteI'd love the Napa Valley Wine Trip - great area and I'd love to ride the wine train.
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup experience. I would like to see more unique packages like that.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how there is a world cup trip, I would love to see a Stanley cup finals trip or World Junior hockey trip etc too
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on the Wimbledon finals! I'd like to see more sporting events included in the auction.
ReplyDeleteI'd be bidding on the World Cup experience if I could - and other packages like that (Stanley Cup, etc.) would be nice, especially smaller, more affordable auctions (for those of us with less miles).
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the packaged tour options, and like how they include everything you need (hotel, flight, transport). I really like the world cup one, and the Napa Valley experience sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteWorld cup... but price is far too high. The Brazil one states they will be paying the taxes and fuel surcharges, the UK one does NOT. Buyer beware...
ReplyDeleteRound the world trips!!!
ReplyDeleteWould certainly bid on the World Cup package. Hope dExclusives brings more trip packages in J, especiallt to Asia.
ReplyDeleteThe New York package would be great!. For future auctions there should be a mix of small and large items. Many of us don't have the points for the large packages, but would like to participate. Many of us may not be big point earners, but we are loyal to Aeroplan!
ReplyDeleteI think the World Cup Package sounds promising!
ReplyDeleteWorld Cup package is my current choice. Air Canada status would be a nice option.
ReplyDeleteWorld Cup pkg. would be my first choice. Future dExclusives i'd like to see trip packages to see The Oscars or The Grammy's all in VIP style of course ;)
ReplyDeleteGotta go with the World Cup package! For future dExclusives auctions, I'd like to see more farflung, really exotic and unknown places. As in, you could use your Aeroplan miles to fly to (place you've never heard of).
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup package is clearly the top of my list.... And how about adding the opportunity to see all of the Grand Slam tournaments in a Tennis!
ReplyDeleteDef World Cup as top pick, once in a lifetime experience. Would love to see multiple stop Round the World trip, first class on the top Star Alliance carriers.
ReplyDeleteLocal concerts may be with in most people's points range but auction items get bid up and people overpay
ReplyDeleteThe World Cup would be a great item to bid on. Any exclusive sport or entertainment option would have my interest
ReplyDeleteMoney can't buy items seem the most interesting offers!
ReplyDeleteI would bid on the World Cup trip or Wimbledon. I like the idea of offerring Status, lounge passes etc. However, the lengthy bidding window means that bids on some items have already exceeded the value of the package (eg. Broadway). How about some flash or short duration auctions where there is a chance of getting a bargain.
ReplyDeleteThe trip to New York would definitely be great for me. Seeing Broadway shows and the Big Apple would be a great way to use my Aeroplan Points.
ReplyDeleteI liked both the Broadway and Wine Country auctions, but they are both getting bid up far beyond the value of the points.
ReplyDeleteI would like to bid the World cup trip to Brazil, it will be once-a-life-time experience.
ReplyDeleteI don't like any of the options. Why isn't there something cultural offered? The Broadway plays offered are simply more pop culture. Aren't there any special exhibitions upcoming at the Museum of Modern Art or Metropolitan Museum in New York or? Why not operas? I like the wine tasting in Europe idea, and the Stanley Cup playoff idea. Why not to cities (like Edinborough) with theatre festivals?
ReplyDeleteSoccer championship, and for future items on the list: premier league soccer games in England, Germany, Spain, Italy Portugal or the Netherlands. Brazil or Argentina
ReplyDeleteWine tour, hands down. A trip with a near endless supply of reds ... heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI like the World Cup in Rio. I'd also go for a Grand Prix or the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Even a stroll down the beach in Ipanema would be pretty fine.
ReplyDeleteIf I had lots of Aeroplan miles I'd bid on the Broadway weekend in the Big Apple. What I'd really get excited about would be bidding on different kinds of lessons with pros around the world. Like a pro chef in Paris giving cooking lessons. I'd also bid on a personalized new wardrobe designed by a fashion consultant in Milan or New York. How about skiing lessons from a pro in Switzerland? Golf lessons in Maui. The list is endless!
ReplyDeleteNAPA VALLEY WINE TASTING GETAWAY
ReplyDeleteIn the future the chance to meet and dine with artists, business leaders and other influential people
ReplyDeleteNAPA VALLEY WINE TASTING GETAWAY!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see more adrenaline inducing, all inclusive packages in future dexclusives auctions.
NASCAR tickets !!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to bid, New York & Broadway. That is how I feel today. Ask me another time and you will get a different answer. To that degree, in future there should be quite an eclectic selection of items to bid on...Jacques Villeneuve Driving Academy, Rocky Mountaineer Experience, Cooking instructions from established chefs/restaurants. Wine tours, extra in a TV show or Movie, Cruises, Family Reunions, Make a Wish for my Special Relative, Family Day at Disney, or Medieval Times, or Amusement Park. Family Dinner with Limo ...and the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteTickets to attractions!
ReplyDeleteI feel like bidding on the world cup final. It is a unique chance, however the number of miles people currently bid on those items are ridiculous. I guess it is simply because we have too much aeroplan miles to squander! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on the round the world trips
ReplyDeleteI would bid on around the world plane tickets and for "money cant buy experiences" like behind the scenes meetings/lunches with famous inspiring people.
ReplyDeleteI would bid on Broadway or Napa in a heartbeat
ReplyDeleteconcert tickets
ReplyDeleteconcert tickets!
ReplyDeleteConcert tickets
ReplyDeleteConcert tickeets
ReplyDeleteI would bid on round world tickets and money for special behind the scenes photo tours with top notch photographers

ReplyDeleteWould also like promo like special flights; lounge access passes.
The New York weekend sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the Napa Valley escape.
ReplyDeleteGrand slam London! Hopefully it includes airfare.
ReplyDeleteBroadway Weekend in the Big Apple as I love theatre. Travel interests me the most.
ReplyDeletePut me on the Brazil flight for the World Cup!
ReplyDeleteBroadway weekend in the Big Apple
ReplyDeleteIt would be an escape weekend. Love the Nappa Valley
ReplyDeleteNapa Valley would be first choice. Future auction choice would be California adventures.
ReplyDeleteBroadway weekend. I would like see Stanley cup final auctions in the future or World Series tickets.
ReplyDeleteI would love to bid on the NAPA valley escape. What could be better than sun and wine!
ReplyDeleteWORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER FINALS IN BRAZIL: JULY 5-15, 2014
ReplyDeleteWORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER FINALS IN BRAZIL (Future items, sports trips and cool unique one of a kind events.)
ReplyDeleteNapa would be great but in future I would like to see some adventure packages such as an African safari or trip to Machu Picchu.
ReplyDeleteEscapes with travel in minds especially warm locations during winter months.
ReplyDeleteWorld soccer in Brazil would be a dream vacation!
ReplyDeleteWorld Cup soccer in Brazil
ReplyDeleteWorld Soccer Championships in Brazil
ReplyDeleteWorld cup soccer in Brazil is what I'd bid on. In the future I'd like to see all included ski vacations.
ReplyDeleteGrand Slam Tennis in London
ReplyDeletetennis in london. rafa and djokovic. the best.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a lifetime trips, especially to ones that I could never afford on my own
ReplyDeleteNapa Valley Wine Tasting please (:
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a travel escape package like napa or Broadway... More inclusive and special than redeeming just for flight and hotel but hopefully not absurdly expensive. Also, these could probably be offered more often so there is a better chance of winning an auction.
ReplyDeleteI would bid on Queen and Adam Lambert except I am already going with three good friends. It should be a riot. I like to save my miles for travel, so small endeavours like this one appeal to me as they wouldn't cost too many miles.
ReplyDeleteWorld Cup soccer in Brazil!
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on exotic experiences and destinations. I'm thinking Burma, Vanuatu, Nepal, sky diving, base jumping, pyramids, having my own boat and skipper for a day, etc. I save my points for those once-in-a-lifetime type trips that will bring me lasting memories.
ReplyDeleteNapa Valley Wine Tasting would be of interest to me
ReplyDeleteQueen and Adam Lambert
ReplyDeleteI would bid on 3-4 day trips to U.S. destinations which would include 4star or better hotel, flight and attached with attractions to see.
ReplyDeleteRound trip air and hotel to Cambodia to join a missionary group to assist in stopping the sex trade of children as young as 6
ReplyDeleteMany more flight rewards, upgrades,etc. Also electronic gizmos. Concerts, etc do nothing for me.
ReplyDeleteI would bid on the World Cup, but I would love to see a round trip to Egypt to see the Pyramids.
ReplyDeleteI would bid on Lady Gaga tickets!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see more concert and theatre tickets
ReplyDeleteI would vote for World Cup Soccer in Brazil or Grand Slam Tennis Finals in London. The local concerts don't strike me as anything unique or exclusive.
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on flights to Australia (Melbourne preferred or Gold Coast).
ReplyDeleteplanned vacation to exotic destinations
ReplyDeletelove football and Brazil
ReplyDeleteI would bid on tickets to the Montreal Canadians hockey game.
ReplyDeleteI would bid on tickets to Lady Gaga
ReplyDeleteI would bid on the world soccer finals in Brazil
ReplyDeleteI would bid on flights to anywhere in Canada! It is not that I don't care about others, but I care more about spending money within our country so that it benefits our people and our economy than spilling it elsewhere, uh!
ReplyDeleteI would bid on the Broadway Weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe escapes are most interesting. Agree with another user that weekend getaways including airfare and hotel including a key event (sports, broadway show, concert, wine tour) would receive a bid from me. A combo of urban and more exotic destinations are always good.
ReplyDeleteI am all for creativity! I would bid on dinner with an influential figure OR a week getaway in a villa in a distinct beautiful destination. BUT...of the choices DEFINITELY the world cup tickets!!
ReplyDeleteI would bid on flight rewards
ReplyDeleteThe Gibson "All Stars" guitar would be nice....how about a trip to Machu Picchu, ancient capital city of the Incas, high in the Andes mountains near Cuzco, Peru?
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on the Napa wine tasting trip
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on a Golf Trip
ReplyDeleteWe scuba dive, so a dive trip with J airfare to the Coral Triangle would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteWeekend getaways including airfare and hotel including a key event (sports, broadway show, concert, wine tour) would receive a bid from me. Love to see One Direction tickets for the Toronto show in July be available as a bid.
ReplyDeleteI'd bid on a trip to Australia / New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteA week in Paris would be very tempting.
ReplyDeleteEvents and adventures interest me.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see One Republic in Toronto. I would be interested in a weekend air and hotel getaway from Calgary to US.
ReplyDeleteI wish to bid and win, a return flight to Melbourne, Australia for 100,000 points or less
ReplyDeleteDinner with the dali lama
ReplyDeleteI would love European adventures like olive oil tastings, wine tastings, outdoor operas, small group Tuscan tours etc. Also family adventures like go-karting or front of the line access to fairs like the PNE. My husband loves the idea of going to the soccer World Cup but he doesn't have enough points yet for that.
ReplyDeleteFlight rewards, definitely, but they have to be worthwhile i.e. I don't want to find the value of the reward seriously devalued by add-ons and surcharges (such as the fuel surcharge that is added for domestic reward flights but not for tickets that are purchased).
ReplyDeleteI'd like to bid on flights and hotels in Switzerland, Philippines and China. How about ticket to Andre Rieu's and Sarah Brighton's concerts?
ReplyDeleteFlight and hotel rewards to Europe, China and India. Tickets to Yari, Sarah Brighton and Zubin Mehta's concerts.
ReplyDeleteI'd take a trip to Italy to visit wine country and then a short stop in Spain for a week before coming home

ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Broadway experience NEW YORK!!!

ReplyDeleteOf the ones listed now I like the Napa Valley Wine Tasting Getaway. For future I would love to see trips to Europe.
ReplyDeleteI would bid a Dream European Trip!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Napa Valley wine tasting auction item has the most appeal to us as requires the least amount of forward planning to take. It's less of a dream and more of great way to burn miles.
ReplyDeleteWould bid on Australia and New Zealand vacation
ReplyDeleteWould bid on river cruise in europe
ReplyDeleteI would definitely bid on business class tickets to anywhere. In the future, I would like to see some all inclusive Air Canada Vacation packages that are available for auctions.
ReplyDeleteI like the Napa Valley wine tasting. It combines two passions: wine and traveling!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see future auctions around one of a kind travel experiences with 'celebrities', a la basketball game with Shaq for instance.
Would consider a full inside passage cruise to the the farthest west reaches of Alaska
ReplyDeleteI would definitely go for the European river cruise, hands down!
ReplyDeleteNapa Wine Tasting. I have always wanted to go.
ReplyDeleteI would love to bid on business class tickets to anywhere Air Canada flies. In the future, how about business class tickets to some obscure destinations?
