Aeroplan Black Friday Promotions

Aeroplan is offering several bonus offers, including up to 10x the bonus miles on the eStore in celebration of Black Friday. Even though there is no Black Friday in Canada, many countries have hopped on the bandwagon. I cannot complain if it results is extra bonus opportunities. 

Below are some of the key offers to watch out for.

Seems like I am almost writing daily about Air Canada’s Aeroplan lately. They seem to be on a roll in terms of offering bonus miles. The latest promotion is the conversion bonus from hotel loyalty programs to Aeroplan, which runs from September 9, 2019 to September 22, 2019. 

During this promotion, Aeroplan members can earn 30% bonus miles with the following chains:

Aeroplan Back to School Promotion!

Aeroplan is currently offering up to bonus miles opportunities with Back to School promotions.
The good part about Air Canada buying Aeroplan out is that there is less uncertainty about our miles come June 2020. I still wish that Aeroplan was going to branch off from Air Canada and compete directly with them. But if the two can create more value by joining forces, then it might work out! 

I don’t know about you, but when I was young, I dreaded going back to school.

Thoughts on Air Canada / Aeroplan Changes Effective Today

Our buddy at DCTA already broke the news about some Air Canada and Aeroplan changes that are taking effect immediately.We expect to see more changes in the near future, ahead of the June 2020 full integration. I share most of the same sentiments as DCTA on the changes below, so below are some additional thoughts on each change.

What I would like to see in the Air Canada Purchase of Air Transat

As you probably know, I have rarely written about Air Transat, due to a bad experience (which I got a lot of heat for). But a more relevant reason is because they do not have any loyalty programs associated with it. And the theme of our site is “maximizing rewards for Canadians”. All that may change once the full agreement passes. Until then, we can only speculate what will happen. I was actually quite surprised to find out that Air Canada wanted to purchase Air Transat, since Air Transat is considered more of a low cost, charter airline. So what value would it bring to Air Canada, other than buying out the competition, like how Air Canada bought out Canadian Airlines back in 2000.
