So they’ve donated Aeroplan stuff for 20 years?
Not gonna lie, I never knew Aeroplan points could be donated like that. 1.8 billion points sounds made up though, like who counts that? Also Air Canada always feels like it’s pushing credit cards at me.
Aeroplan donations? I thought that was just rewards to fly more. If they’re doing climate stuff and net-zero by 2050, then why are airlines still always expensive and dumping emissions everywhere. Seems like PR to me.
20 years is cool I guess. Are they donating points or like… actual money? I heard somewhere points donations don’t really help the charities, just marketing for Air Canada Vacations. Plus Star Alliance, Skytrax four-star, all that sounds like they’re bragging more than helping. Anyway I’m sure it’s still better than nothing right?
