From July 3 to July 17, 2024, Aeroplan is marking its 40th anniversary with a grand celebration that includes a giveaway of 40 prizes of 1 million points each and 10 days of exclusive offers. This event invites Aeroplan's 8 million+ members to participate in various promotions to save and earn on flights, hotels, and everyday purchases.

Aeroplan, initially an airline loyalty program, has expanded significantly over the years, offering numerous ways to earn and redeem points daily. The anniversary celebrations highlight this growth and provide members with opportunities to maximize their rewards.

The celebration features several attractive offers, such as 20% back in points on redemptions over 20,000 points for hotel stays and car rentals, 40% bonus points on eligible flights and vacation packages, and additional points on Uber rides and gas purchases. Members can also earn 10X points on purchases from top retailers like Dyson and Lululemon through the Aeroplan eStore.

Scott O'Leary, Vice President of Loyalty and Product at Air Canada, acknowledged the members' role in making Aeroplan a leading travel loyalty program. He emphasized that both new and long-term members could benefit from increased earning potential and extensive travel opportunities.

Beyond the 10-day event, Aeroplan remains a valuable daily rewards program for Canadians. Partnerships with companies like Starbucks, Uber, and LCBO enable members to earn points on everyday activities. Additionally, members can earn on Air Canada flights, hotel stays, and with over 45 program partners.

Aeroplan's consistent recognition as the best airline loyalty program in North America by the Freddie Awards underscores its excellence. With the 40th-anniversary celebration, Aeroplan members have more opportunities than ever to earn and redeem points for various rewards.
