A mere 18 months after they told us it would be offline for a few weeks.

In light of the past abuse, there are some hurdles:

- Up to eight verified family members can join together to share points, while keeping their own Aeroplan accounts
- All points earned, including existing points balances, are added into the shared pools
- Members must be part of the program for six months before they can join a pool, and they must stay in that pool for at least three months, and not have been in another pool in the past six months
- Family Sharing is open to family members, including spouses, partners, children, siblings, in-laws, parents, and grandparents
- Members with redemption privileges can use points from the shared balance to redeem rewards
- If there’s a primary Aeroplan credit card holder in the pool, then everyone can use the preferred pricing benefit
- Family sharing doesn’t impact the expiration of Aeroplan points; members still need some individual account activity every 18 months to keep their balance active
- In some cases, additional identity verification steps are required, to provide extra protection against unauthorized use under the terms

How are non-US minors supposed to get their accounts verified if you don’t live near one of the 3 airports listed ??!
