Destina and miles?
 

Will destina award aeroplan miles for any airline purchase, or only AC purchases? (the status miles promo does say AC only) Seems like a good deal, but living in the US is it worth the foreign exchange conversion? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

You do earn miles on EVERY booking, even if not on AC but the STATUS miles promo only applies to a variety of AC related flight purchases:

"

As an Aeroplan member, your Aeroplan® Miles can accumulate quickly with Destina.ca.

For every flight, hotel stay and car rental purchased on-line with Destina.ca you earn Aeroplan Miles. That's in addition to the Aeroplan Miles you usually earn with other Aeroplan partners.

Destina.ca has launched an unparalleled Aeroplan Status Mile offer that allows Aeroplan members to reach their Aeroplan top-tier status for 2003 faster than ever!
Beginning today until December 12, 2002, by booking on Destina.ca, Aeroplan members will earn 1 Aeroplan Status Mile for every $1 online purchase on Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz, Tango by Air Canada and Zip flights.

This Status Mile offer is the first ever offer of its kind whereby Aeroplan members can earn Aeroplan Status Miles other than by flying with Air Canada, Air Canada Jazz, ZIP or with one of the Star Alliance partner airlines."

for AC, Jazz, Tango and Zip - 1 status mile for every dollar (until Dec 12)
for all airfare purchases not covered by status mile offer - 1 mile for every $3 spent (to Dec. 31)
car rental - 100 miles per (to Dec 31)
hotel - 200 miles per (to Dec 31)
for every 5th purchase/booking get 500 miles (to Dec. 31)

You'll have to decide if the exchange rate work in your favor or not. The status miles likely works for you but the others may be a wash.
