Buddy Pass can be converted to 30k points
https://princeoftravel.com/blog/aero...roplan-points/
Although this isn’t being publicly promoted by Air Canada, I’ve confirmed through an internal source that the Air Canada Buddy Pass can now be exchanged for 30,000 Aeroplan points – a feature that’s being introduced in recognition of the reality around travel planning during the pandemic. |
This is very welcome, as I was wondering if I'd ever be able to use it before it expires.
|
I figure I'll hold it until expiry, then convert if I have no use. Hard to say what I'll want to do with it in 6+ months.
|
Amazing! I was planning to waste it because I don't want a "buddy" for my trips lol

Has anyone on FT tried this successfully? I don't even know where on ac.com to see if I have the buddy pass, or how many, given I have a few of the cards.

Called Aeroplan Call Centre last night and confirmed the 30,000 option. Agent said it could take six to eight weeks to process, but that is fine with me.
I have no expectation to travel Y with anyone else to an expensive North American destination anytime soon, but need to accumulate plenty of points for international business class travel, where (if seats are available), Aeroplan delivers best points for dollar value. |
Awesome. Just applied for the CIBC Visa Infinite, whose offer is 20k + Buddy Pass (so now 50k) and FYF.
|
For someone who had the Infinite Privilege card before the Buddy Pass was announced, it would be nice if they extended this offer to the Annual Worldwide Companion Pass (awarded at 25k spend). $599 annual fee, and most of the perks are useless this year.

Does aeroplan.com show these passes, or can only agents see it when you call in?

It would appear under your Benefits when you are logged in. This is a screen shot from the PoT article linked by the OP above. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8bc71ab41f.png |
If I got a buddy pass for the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite, can I get another buddy pass if I apply for a TD Aeropaln Visa Infinite? Thinking about trading in my current one for 30k, but I could make use of one later this year.

This one-time Welcome Bonus offer of a bonus Buddy Pass is only valid for eligible cardholders. You will not be eligible for the Welcome Bonus offer of a Buddy Pass if you have previously opened an Aeroplan program credit card of the same type, regardless of the credit card issuer and have received the Welcome Bonus offer in the last 12 months. This offer may be changed, cancelled or extended at any time and cannot be combined with any other offers. |
