There's a reason why they call airline points the "cocaine of the industry"......

Aeroplan a ripoff
Welcome to FT OP.
And you had your trial by fire. Or by tea warmer. Don't take any of the snark personally, it actually becomes an acquired taste... ;-)
But, yeah, you are a bit late to the party where folks have been hashing the subject often and for quite a while. In fact, it has spawned a cottage industry of booking services, blogs and more threads.
It's good that you see the light but I still find it curious that there are folks that, unfortunately, do not and will be in for a sticker shock. Or don't care..
Cheers
