So Aeroplan admits that it charges C$1340 (or C$1005 during a different presently-running so-called "sale" to transfer points into a friend's account, which are worth only C$500 in the first place!

I don't blame them for making it like that though. IMO it's the scammers who would register like 20 different accounts for a promo, then funnel all their points into 1 account that make this impossible for aeroplan to offer a reasonable transfer rate.
