Your Points Are Worth More Than You Think.
Most travelers with Aeroplan, Amex, or RBC points have no idea what their points can actually do for them. This is where that changes — with education first, and strategy second.

Sound Familiar?
You have points sitting in your account but no clear picture of what they are actually worth. You have thought about Business Class but assumed it was impossible with your balance. You have searched online and come away more confused than when you started. You would rather talk to an actual human than read another forum thread.
These are not unusual feelings. The loyalty ecosystem is genuinely complex — not because the mechanics are complicated, but because the information available online is fragmented, often American-focused, and rarely speaks to the specific programs Canadian travelers hold. Le Travelogist exists to close that gap.
The Education
What Is Flight Redemption — and Why Does It Matter?
When you use an Aeroplan, Amex Membership Rewards, or RBC Avion credit card, you accumulate points — sometimes without even realizing it. Those points can be transferred to airline loyalty programs and used to book flights, often at a fraction of the cash price.
Flight redemption is the process of using accumulated points to book award flights — particularly Business or First Class — instead of paying cash. Done correctly, a Business Class seat to Europe that would cost $5,000 CAD in cash can cost as few as 60,000–75,000 Aeroplan points.
The complexity is not the booking itself. It is knowing which program to use, which transfer partner gives the best value, and where the sweet spots are — the routes and programs where your points go furthest. That is where most travelers get lost, and where Le Travelogist adds the most value.
A Business Class seat to London that costs $5,000 CAD in cash can often be booked for 60,000–75,000 Aeroplan points plus taxes. That is the gap between knowing and not knowing.
