[ANALYSIS] Aeroplan Distinction dDiamond Status

This is the continuation of my series on the Aeroplan Distinction program. I previously wrote about the dSliver and dBlack elite statuses. Today, I will focus on the highest level, which is the dDiamond status, which will complete the Distinction program series.

To qualify for dDiamond, you will need to earn 100,000 points during the calendar year. All the of the perks associated with dDiamond are encompassed in the dSilver and dBlack, so I will not repeat those perks. For this post, I will focus on the additional benefits that you will receive as a dDiamond member, which include:

Reduced mileage levels on Market Fare Flight Rewards – Earn up to 35% off the number of points required to redeem for Market Fare Flight Rewards. Market Fare Flights Rewards are exclusive options beyond the ClassicFlight Rewards that only elite members have access to.

Air Canada Getaway Bonus on eligible round-trips – Earn 1,500 Distinction points for every eligible round-trip that includes a Saturday night stay when you fly with Air Canada to more than 25 popular destinations (including Florida, New York, California, London and Paris).

Bonus with Aeroplan eStore – Get 2X the points per $1 spent at Aeroplan eStore retailers.

Contact Centre Priority – Members enjoy priority access at the Aeroplan Contact Centre when they enter their Aeroplan Number into the automated call answer system at the start of their call.

Aeroplan has really done a fabulous job with this new program as there was so many great benefits to be had. We can only hope that they will continue to make customer friendly improvements.
