This has never been possible in the past, and I doubt it's possible now. Are you sure Aeroplan wasn't just offering to do a mixed cash + points booking, where both tickets are paid in a combination of points and cash? Or book a points ticket on the phone and link it to one you bought for cash online?
You can link the PNRs, which will enable you to check in together with one PNR, may result in better protection in IRROPs, etc, but doesn't do the things you want it to do.

I'm paying for my ticket (being reimbursed by business), but using points for his ticket so he can travel with me (using the least amount of points possible). I want to be able to get him seats with me ('preferred' seats in economy), free baggage, priority boarding, priority check-in, maple leaf lounge access etc etc. You know, the typical SE perks that someone would get traveling with me had the tickets been purchased together (or booked together using points). So of these SE perks, which ones will he be entitled to if our PNRs are 'linked' together?

Cash and Points for Same Itinerary?
Sorry, if this question has been asked before.
My wife and I are planning a trip to YYZ in September. I am 35K she does not have status.
Can I pay cash for my flight and use my Aeroplan points for hers?
My goal is to use e-ups for both of us by buying a Latitude fare for me and Aeroplan latitude for her, then do instant e-up.
Or do I have to do to separate bookings? If I do the latter, then it appears I cannot e-up my wife.
Thanks.
