So, if you use your AeroGold VISA to buy a ticket:

$1,000 yyz-yvr round trip ticket purchased on personal VISA, reimbursed by employer:

Earn 1,000 non-status points - no taxable benefit.

Earn 4,500 Status points earned for flying on the ticket - taxable benefit if used towards a personal Aeroplan flight.
