Fro m this morning's paper it looks like Chapters will not become a part of Future Shop, and the Trilogy -- it is not Onex this time, but a separate unrelated (except for Schwartz himself) company — bid may well win the day. Maybe they'll opt for converting Indigo! and Chapters points into AAdvantage miles!

In any case, the Future Shop flyer included in today's Toronto Star for this weekend's bargains makes no mention of Aeroplan points being offered or coming soon. I say this, not to question CPYVR's information, but just as a curious way to "soft launch" their entry into Aeroplan.
