Avianca LifeMiles and Air Canada Aeroplan Run Bonus Sales on Miles and Points
Avianca offers up to 145% extra on bought LifeMiles until Oct 20, and Aeroplan offers up to 90% extra until Oct 29, 2026, with a hotel-search deals guide also out.
Two airline loyalty programs have started sales on miles and points this month. Avianca LifeMiles is giving up to a 145% bonus on purchases made through October 20, 2026. Air Canada's Aeroplan program is offering a bonus of as much as 90% between October 14 and October 29, 2026.
According to Loyalty Lobby, a LifeMiles member may purchase a maximum of 200,000 miles per order, and that cap applies before any bonus miles are added. The outlet also says Avianca has kept running miles sales through 2026.
Both Upgraded Points and One Mile at a Time state that, at the top Aeroplan rate, each point costs roughly 1.38 cents. One Mile at a Time calls the offer competitive with past Aeroplan sales, but not the best price the program has ever had. The same outlet says buying points can be good value for first class and business class trips.
Separately, Conde Nast Traveler published a guide to Trivago hotel deals for October 2026. It says the guide covers savings of up to 40% and many rooms under $99. The piece describes Trivago as a search site, started in 2005 in Düsseldorf, that compares hotel prices across other booking sites.
What it means for travelers
Bonus sales can lower the cost of each mile or point for travelers who plan to book award flights. Sale prices and bonus levels change often, so the numbers matter more than the headline bonus. Buying makes most sense when you already have a trip and a booking in mind.
What to watch next
Check the final price per mile or point on the official Avianca LifeMiles and Aeroplan sites before you buy. Note that the LifeMiles sale ends first, on October 20, and the Aeroplan sale ends on October 29.
