Well if you are using both an Aeroplan credit card and swiping your Aeroplan card, then you could be earning >3% return on your spend, that would be a good reason to not be using another card.

Ex. $50 transaction = 16 Aeroplan miles (3:1) + Earn 1.50/$1 on Aeroplan Infinite Privilege card is another 75 miles for a total of 91 Aeroplan miles.

If you value the miles at 2 cents each which many here do, then that return is $1.82 or 3.6%.
