(TAN): Air Canada has announced its transformed Aeroplan loyalty program with existing Aeroplan accounts and membership numbers automatically being moved to it. Aeroplan miles are now “Aeroplan points,” with prior balances honoured on a one-to-one basis.
The transformed Aeroplan program offers flight rewards to hundreds of destinations worldwide on Air Canada and over 35 partner airlines. Through Aeroplan Family Sharing, members can combine points with other family members to reach rewards faster.
Air Canada Altitude is becoming Aeroplan Elite Status – Aeroplan will continue to offer five Elite Status levels: Aeroplan 25K, 35K, 50K, 75K, and Super Elite. “I fully expect that this important initiative will give us a major competitive advantage in attracting and retaining customers as the industry recovers from the pandemic,” said Calin Rovinescu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada.
The all-new range of Aeroplan co-branded credit cards issued by TD, American Express and CIBC are the only ones in Canada offering extensive Air Canada travel perks and will help members earn rewards more quickly. Aeroplan Members can take advantage of valuable welcome bonus offers from these partner brands.
On eligible cards, members earn a Buddy Pass for a buy-one-get-one ticket anywhere Air Canada flies in North America – including Mexico and Hawaii. After first buying an economy class ticket, on the second they pay only the government taxes and third-party charges.
