I've been told that one should always keep the oldest product as it helps to maintain a better credit rating.
Your "credit history" isn't with VISA, it's with the specific card you have at your specific bank. You can ask the bank to "convert" your Aeroplan Visa into a different card which might keep the history going, but no guarantees.
