I just have a quick question regarding this ordeal, but let me see if I get things straight
- The certificates in question, cannot be used by anyone else, but a member of aeroplan with elite status
- I am certain that there are similar coupons for other airlines, that cannot be used unless you have elite status
- Everyone else uses CC for their exchanges
Why should AC be the exception?
And the answer of "
it's the way it's always been done" is not a valid one, CC was designed for that purpose, to cover all travel related exchanges.
