How about switching your MBNA Gold Master card to a MBNA Starwood Master card? It's also NO FEE and you can always transfer Starwood points into your Aeroplan account. The T&C state that Starwood points earned cannot be transfered into Aeroplan but many people here including myself have not had a problem in doing so

Starwood Preferred Guest® MasterCard® Benefits:

Earn 1 Starpoint for every $2 spent on all your eligible purchases.
