Aeroplan stopovers now bookable online on Air Canada's website


A very popular redemption option for the Aeroplan program just became easier to book. The stopover option, where you can pay 5,000 points to stopover in an extra city on an itinerary outside of Canada and the U.S., has only been bookable by calling into Aeroplan but as of today Air Canada has launched a beta test for the stopover option for online bookings.

FINAL REMINDER The credit card to consider getting right now - August 2022

 

We continue our monthly feature where we recommend a card to consider applying for right away during the course of the current month.  How do we pick which card should be highlighted? We'll look at numerous factors however in most cases it will primarily be due to the limited time offer on the highlighted card ending this month or shortly thereafter.  In some cases, it may be different factors or a combination of factors. This month it's the former however, where it is simply an offer that is set to end shortly after the end of this month.
