Aeroplan’s MPM is definitely different (higher) than what you’ve shown in the AC fare.
I've just validated a mock booking at Aeroplan.com, with a route of YYZ-IAD-ADD-JNB-SIN,SIN-TPE-YYZ. The outbound is
15,436 mi
If if I try to make a similar routing, swapping out IAD with ORD (YYZ-ORD-ADD-JNB-SIN) then this outbound is
15,911 mi, and will NOT validate.
So the JSON hack value of
15,441 for YYZ-SIN MPM is close to the 'truth'.
AFAIK, there is a bit of wiggle room in the MPM, dependent on your layover airports. I've tried different airports to get to the same POT and when I thought I was over the value that the JSON hack revealed, the phone agent said it STILL validated, and informed me that it was slightly higher than the (dynamic) MPM of my other itineraries, due to the different routing.
