Aeroplan points are highly sought after as they open up flights within Star Alliance, the largest airline alliance in the World. The best card to earn Aeroplan points on remains the Amex Cobalt (via points transfer), but you should also have an Aeroplan card in your wallet to cover insurance on points bookings, free checked bags, or even lounge access with the premium cards. Each card has its own perks and earn rates, with the premium cards offering the most value for the high annual fee. See all the details below to decide which one is right for you.
