Aeroplan 110% buy bonus: 1.79 cents per point, but only if you can beat 2.1 cpp.

Air Canada Aeroplan's latest buy points offer runs through July 19, 2026, and delivers up to a 110% bonus — the highest in recent memory. But the bonus is personalized: some members see only 90% max. At the 110% tier, buying 90,000+ points nets a cost of 1.79 Canadian cents per point, but after GST/HST the true cost rises to 1.88–2.06 cents depending on your province. With a standard valuation of 1.5 cents per point, you need to target redemptions worth at least 2.1 cents per point to break even. Only pull the trigger if you have a specific high-value award in mind.

the play

Log in to check your personal bonus tier before July 19, 2026, and buy only if your target Aeroplan award yields 2.1 cents per point or more after tax.

Trip.com deal: 17.5% cashback is solid, but past rates hit 36.5%.

Capital One Shopping and Offers are running a deal on Trip.com today (September 9) with up to 17.5% cashback or 17X miles on hotel, lodging, and car rental bookings. Flights earn 3.5%/3X, and other categories like tours or transfers earn 2.5%/2X. Rates are targeted, so you may see higher offers. The cashback from Capital One Shopping is redeemable only for gift cards, not cash. This is a decent return, but note that past deals (like in March) offered up to 36.5% for hotels, so this is a step down. The deal expires today.

Log into your Capital One Shopping and Capital One Offers accounts, check your targeted rates for Trip.com, and book any eligible travel before the September 9 deadline.

Don't book on TopCashback's 16% Klook rate until you read the fine print.

TopCashback has boosted rates across IHG, Radisson, Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, Expedia and more, but the 'up to' qualifiers change the deal. Viator's 15% is only for new customers, while existing customers earn 10%. Expedia's 10% applies only to new customers booking activities, with existing customers seeing 5%-8% for other travel. IHG's 12% is limited to Iberostar, though all IHG brands earn 10%. No expiry is listed, so compare rates on Cashback Monitor or Savewise before committing.

Check the 'up to' terms on each rate, then compare on Cashback Monitor before booking.
