RE:arguments for AIM is not viable business without AC Air miles is a program without an airline, it does fine, same as the majority of all other travel loyalty programs. Not being tied to a single airline can open the doors for this company, we just have to give them time to strategize and execute on a new plan. It was a stupid more by AC because now they have to start everyone off from scratch in 2020, that can only hurt their loyalty, not to mention it's going to cost them a fortune to execute. On top of that I doubt they will be able to get anywhere near the amount of partners that Aeroplan currently has. I would rather keep collecting my aeroplan points, and buy flights on any airline at market fare, rather than wait for AC's new program, and only have limited choices available.
