Checked in, but want to add bags - TD areoplan holder
I have a flight coming up tomorrow, so I checked in, at the time I didn’t need a checked in bag so I didn’t select checked in bag. But now I decided to check in a bag. I went back to my check in and selected add bags. But it wanted to charge me for the bag. I am a TD Aeroplan cc holder, so I knew the card included the 1st check in per person free.
After reading this subreddit, I realized I had to link my cc to my aeroplan profile. I went a head and added the cc to my aeroplan profile and now see it is a “linked” cc. I went back to check in and tried to add my bags (both my wife and I) but it still wanted to charge me.
Is it that charge gets taken off only during the initial checking? Can I add my bags at the kisosks or do I have to see an agent (which usually means long lines). Also my flight is an AC flight, but I did book via third party and not directly on aircanada.com
