This is very important.
For some reason, there are still people who buy AE points..... and then pay scamcharges when UA points can be had at 2cpm, and US, even cheaper!

I think there is a lot of the fear of the unknown and sticking with what you know in Canada that plays into this. Because logically, and mathematically, it makes zero sense for anyone to collect and redeem rewards with Aeroplan.
