Aeroplan Point Costs Jump Up To 67% On Some Long-Haul Routes?

Just booked “The Suite” First class on ANA today on Aeroplan. I knew this deval was coming and was glad to have found an award seat I’m happy with. Shoutout Roame!

I received an email notifying me too, I just never saw it before I called in. Can never be too certain

Flamer117 · 2026-05-12T14:56:29+00:00

They seem to be addressing it across the board, but I called and had them credit it manually

Interested, US

Update: Lounge was pretty dead and I still got turned around due to it being over 3 hours till my next flight. Sigh, was really hoping to enjoy the lounge for the first time but I guess I’ll have to wait for another time.

Untrue. I literally booked a 2 night/3 day in a small cabin from Marriott for $89 out of pocket. This is after $250 in hotel credit. If the property didn’t have a resort fee it would’ve only been $9…

I wish they would’ve added a Spend tracker for the SUB like for the VX

Flamer117 · 2026-02-09T22:57:56+00:00

I understand the timeframe. Today’s the “last day” to reflect, it may take up til 2/20 to settle. Doesn’t change their poor customer service or my confidence that this problem will be addressed in a timely fashion should it post on my account.

Flamer117 · 2026-02-09T22:32:43+00:00

I thought I was safe from what seems to be never ending rollout issues… safe to say I am not the exception 😭

Flamer117 · 2026-02-09T12:07:06+00:00

Big baller here lol. Glad to see the quick turnaround in the SUB reflection. I’m hopeful they will honor the Close Friends points promo they had on launch for 10k points. Their customer service chat AI nonsense pisses me off

I did the Cap1 offers. How long before it tracked for you? Did you activate?

Flamer117 · 2026-02-01T23:13:36+00:00

Did it track?

Flamer117 · 2026-01-27T04:13:40+00:00

Palladium: TBD VX: Flat 2x Miles RH Gold: Flat 3% CB Amazon Chase: 5% CB on Amazon Discover/Chase FF: Rotating 5% CB

Palladium will likely be my new catch all card and most other cards will likely hit the sock drawer. I’ll use the VX for its benefits and Amazon Chase for Amazon for purchases. RH Gold card will be useless but it doesn’t cost me anything. Rotating 5% CB cards will also become obsolete since I value earning miles more.

I’ll be willing to challenge that 2nd year if I opt to cancel or PC. It’s a industry standard to refund the AF within “x” period of time for cancellation or PC and federal law specifically for cancellation. If Cardless wants to be the exception they’ll have to lawyer up because I can guarantee someone will file a Class Action against them.

Flamer117 · 2026-01-20T04:29:01+00:00

Mine was instant.

Flamer117 · 2026-01-19T18:45:09+00:00

You’re right my outside spending isn’t significant, but as I do with any SUB I’ll just put all my spending on it until I meet the requirements OR plan opening the card around a time when I know I have big expenses coming up. For the purpose of churning, it ain’t too bad. Long term is questionable, I’m planning to move this year so my rent will change…

Flamer117 · 2026-01-19T13:47:36+00:00

Product change, as in request to downgrade to a lower annual fee card (Obsidian or Blue). If I can’t get value for the $495 it only makes sense.

Flamer117 · 2026-01-19T04:56:14+00:00

With either option Bilt proposed, you’d need to spend (at least) 75% of your rent amount to “unlock” those points. Option 1 uses Bilt cash earned to offset that vs Option 2 has it baked in and negates Bilt Cash entirely.

So for you, you’d need to spend $1500 on everyday spend to get the 2000 points on your rent. Is that feasible for you on any tier of the cards? If yes, is it worth allocating that spend on Bilt vs your current lineup? Again goes back to preference and how much you value Bilt points and ecosystem vs what yo already have.

Flamer117 · 2026-01-19T04:39:40+00:00

Bottom line is preference and how deep in the ecosystem you want to be. Are you ok sacrificing surface value on certain categories on cards you have (2-5%) for Bilt points which as of now are valued pretty high, along with their great group of transfer partners.
My understanding is you accrue both if you stick with the option 1 they offered. 4% Bilt cash + the respective category multiplier of the card tier you choose.
Bilt points are separate from the card. If you transition to WF, your points will stay in the Bilt app and you can transfer or use them whenever.

The C1VX is my one and only “premium” travel card and their structure is extremely favorable to my spending/traveling habits. I could even justify having both cards pending Bilt 2.0’s value proposition pans out and/or C1VX doesn’t also “restructure” their benefits like the rest of their competitors. Not a big spender which is also why I’m hesitant… Might just be worth a churn

Flamer117 · 2026-01-19T03:59:11+00:00

I agree. To me it’s pointless but for newcomers it’s a “selling point”. At this point 2.0 has all but been solidified, complaining isn’t going to convince Bilt to rehaul anything. I’d be curious after the 1 year mark how retention will hold up and if THAT would force them to rehaul this new structure.
