Basically they don't have enough Aeroplan miles for a booking, so I'm trying to see if they can use some of my miles to complete the redemption without having to pay this extortionate fee for me to transfer them to their account.
Thanks.
You can buy additional miles. However, if it's more than just a few, it's probably not worth it. They charge you 3 to 4 cents per mile when often the mile is actually not worth more than a cent.
Ditto about paying for transfer. Just get them a reward from your account. Or more likely, just pay, might well be the cheapest.
Bottom line, Aeroplan is just a scam.
