No... I hate Aeroplan and I used to be a frequent flier. Bottom line, it's quite difficult to redeem miles unless you book well in advance. You also are left with some idiotic routings. For me to get to Hong Kong on Aeroplan on the day I needed I had to go via Toronto, vs going to Vancouver.
TD points are great in that you book whatever flight you want, on whatever airline, and just reedem points to reduce the cost of the flight. The Capital One Aspire travel works similar, although I'm hearing it has to be a 100% redemption - so if you're redeeming points it has to cover 100% of the item. No partial redemption (ie 50% off a flight).
