Business Class for Fewer Points Than Premium Economy

The Challenge

A family of three was planning travel from Europe to Ottawa and had identified Premium Economy flights at ~95,000 Aeroplan points per passenger. They were not flexible with dates and didn't want to reposition.

Our Strategy

We reviewed alternative award options across the same travel dates and routing.

The Result

  • Same dates, same airport, no positioning flights
  • Business Class instead of Premium Economy
  • 82,000 Aeroplan points per passenger

Outcome

  • Upgraded to Business Class
  • 13,000 fewer points per passenger
  • 39,000 total points saved

Last-Minute Domestic Travel

The Challenge

A traveler needed a same-day trip between Ottawa and Toronto. Cash prices had surged due to last-minute demand, with premium cabin options pricing around $1,200+.

Our Strategy

Instead of paying cash, we evaluated multiple points currencies and redemption options.

The Result

  • Approximately 11,000 points used
  • Approximately $120 in taxes and fees

Outcome

  • Same-day travel secured
  • Premium travel experience
  • Significant reduction in cash expense

Our Strategy

We leveraged points and available hotel benefits to maximize value.

The Result

  • Three-night hotel stay
  • Breakfast included
  • $100 USD property credit included
  • Approximately 54,000 points used

Outcome

  • Roughly 18,000 points per night
  • Premium accommodation secured
  • Minimal out-of-pocket cost

Companion Voucher Optimization

The Challenge

A couple wanted to book direct flights while minimizing cash expenses.

Our Strategy

We evaluated multiple redemption paths and identified the strongest overall value using a companion voucher and existing points balances.

The Result

  • Direct flights maintained
  • Approximately 65,000 points used
  • Roughly $50 out-of-pocket

Outcome

  • Significant reduction in travel cost
  • Direct routing maintained
  • Better overall redemption value

Building a Family Business Class Strategy

The Challenge

A family of three wanted to travel in Business Class to Europe or Asia but lacked a clear strategy for earning enough points.

Our Strategy

We redesigned the client's wallet around Amex Aeroplan Reserve, Amex Cobalt, RBC Ion+, RBC Avion Business, and strategic welcome bonuses.

The Result

  • 400,000+ points annual earning potential
  • Additional value through welcome bonuses
  • More efficient category spending

Outcome

  • Business Class travel for the entire family became a realistic goal within 6โ€“12 months

Diversifying a 4.4 Million Point Portfolio

The Challenge

A business owner had accumulated approximately 4.4 million RBC Avion points but was heavily concentrated in a single ecosystem.

Our Strategy

Instead of replacing the existing setup, we focused on diversification โ€” maintaining the Avion foundation while adding Amex Membership Rewards, expanding airline and hotel transfer options, and optimizing personal and corporate spending.

The Result

Access to Aeroplan, Flying Blue, Delta, Marriott, Hilton, and additional transfer partners.

Outcome

  • A more flexible rewards ecosystem capable of supporting family travel, business travel, premium cabin redemptions, and hotel stays
