Or if you have the ability, convert them to some other point system? Ideally flights are there, but with dynamic pricing, it might not be a viable solution.
its funny, but the whole reason i have ANY points at all, was because, several years back, I could book a trip using Aeroplan points for an AC flight operated by United.

For 60K Aeroplan points, i could go one-way in POLARIS IAH-EZE - this was maybe 2017-18

Now, all i see for that routing is 375K Aeroplan points

I mean, i understand inflation and point devaluation, etc, but that seems like a huge jump

maybe there are other options for travel for a lower J fare, but i cant find one.
