Erome

Hey all,

I know there's been alot of buzz about the 50k bonus aeroplan amex plat card, and I had a question on the 2 for 1 15k aeroplan classic ticket:

If I were to have the card, and wanted to utilize the benefit, do I have to be one of the travelling passengers?

I know with Aeroplan itself, if I used 15000 aeroplans, I could provide the name of my brother or something and then I would be gifting him a flight basically. Would this concept be the same for this 2 for 1?

I.e I have the card, I call aeroplan, I use 15k of my aeroplan points, book a ticket for Erome's Dad and Erome's Mom, pay all the taxes etc?

This is kind of going to be one of my tipping factors for getting the card. I'll be 35k Elite next year so the other stuff is less important, my major factors are the 50k points, the 1.25/1.5 bonus, and the 2 for 1 ticket.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for the help!
