Goal is to earn miles and redeem it later, would be nice to get status but as it stands she only comes to Canada twice a year, even booking PY that would get 19706 miles far from 25k. But if we do 3x a year then it would be worth it...

Thanks for the input, I used to fly a lot for work few yrs back, like most FT maximizing status miles, so I put too much focus on this that I forgot to see that its expensive way to rack miles and of course work paid for it.
Current offer on the Amex Platinum card is 75,000 points, which convert 1:1 to Aeroplan miles.

So... same as 10 round-trips FRA-YYZ in Flex.

Happy to send you a referral if you'd like.
