You might also look at long-haul redemptions. BA has similar fees to Aeroplan, but they have a First class cabin which is much nicer than Air Canada's business class.
Agreed. And if you are on the west coast there are some good short haul economy redemptions. YVR to SEA,PDX and LAX. Also to Hawaii is 12,500 each way. YVR to JFK in business or first on Cathay is also a great redemption.
Ever since I figured out the avios I haven't transferred any member rewards to Aeroscam.
