Might be the wrong place to ask but I wanted to inquire about booking a flight and subsequently joining Aeroplan. I have a family member who just booked Europe to New Zealand on TK, which would yield a non-trivial 10,000 Aeroplan points.
Obviously if it is an Air Canada flight, they would know when it was booked, and I believe you cannot retroactively sign up and then earn points for that flight. Does the same apply when the flight is booked on a partner airline? Would creating an Aeroplan account on the same day (5 hours later) be a solution?
Thank you!
Edit: or perhaps I had that wrong. Booking then enrolling then taking the flight is perhaps okay?

So after reading the latest Feb 5, 2024 T&C it seems that holding multiple CC is permitted, providing you're not churning or canceling after the SUB?
I have the CIBC Visa Premium, and will likely get the AMEX Reserve due to its 3x multiplier for AC flights, and another companion pass. I'm assuming multiple passes are fine, as they could have limited this to 1 across all cards in the T&C.
The AMEX Reserve SUB is spread out monthly across 16 months - so it basically forces you to 'be engaged' with your card.
