So I went through Aeroplan's pre-sale points.com portal to see what today's rates were. It's around 3 cents per point which is ridiculously expensive. If you qualify for the first tranche where your purchase will be down to 1.4 cents per point, you'll make a hell of a deal.
[J] Asia 2 (155000/2.15)*0.014 = ~$1k, kind of makes up for not being able to jump on the Bali deal last week
[Y] Market Fare Transborder (Aeroplan Diamond + NA YQ waiver), (18000 to 30000 points, divide by 2.15 bonus factor * $0.014) = $100-$200 plus maybe $30 in taxes
My calculations were off, see post
