Tips & Ideas
This deal isn’t really advisable as you can earn 3x-5x (non-Aeroplan) points on Air Canada flights on a number of different credit cards, plus several of those cards will offer some kind of travel protections that you won’t get when paying with gift cards.
There are sometimes Air Canada Chase Offers giving 10% back. If you’re targeted for one of those and are planning on buying these gift cards, it might be worth paying with a card with the Chase Offer loaded to it. I’m not certain you’d earn the statement credit, but it could be worth a try because if ‘Air Canada’ appears in the transaction details, that’s usually enough to trigger the statement credit.
