Oman Air Awards With Aeroplan Are Back!

Aeroplan has been, and still is, a mess

Not just Oman Air, but awards to/from India seem to be back available on the website after nearly 2 years.

Not entirely true. AI is still missing.

Great, now Aeroplan please return ANA awards. I just want to burn this 50k cert and cancel my chase Aeroplan card.

So between this news and your article about 20% Chase bonus and transferring instantly, I transferred 100K Chase points over. But that article about the transfer should really be updated. Per previous reports, and now I'll add mine, 20% bonus is not instantaneus. Have to decide whether to transfer an additional 20K to Aeroplan or chance losing the availability by the time the bonus posts.

Here is one data point. I transferred 60K Chase points on 16 December. The 60K was posted instantly and 6K, or 10% posted about 10 to 12 hours later. The other 12K, or 20% just posted today, 20 December.

Glad to hear the chaos and hell-hole that is Aeroplan is at least attempting to get its act together. Unfortunately, it's still plagued by the same nonsense:

Add partner airline + provide little to no availability + funnel people to your over priced, under-performing carrier with subpar service across all facets of air travel = market yourself as the greatest one-stop shop for all partner availability

Aeroplan continues to disappoint, but I'm sure they'll spin this as a positive of "look at all we're doing for you!"

100% the case, and no one but those who have had more than a superficial interaction with the program will know it.

Thanks! I decided not to chance it and transferred an extra 20K, then booked the flight. Won't be hard to make use of the other 24K (I think).

Aeroplan is the worst FFP with even worse customer service and should be avoided at all costs. By posting this you are promoting this terrible FFP.

OK; I'll swim against current. An Aeroplan member since 1984; have had many, many positive experiences. And, with a little planning, gone pretty much wherever, whenever!
