The New Air Canada Aeroplan Program
All the resources you need
First posted on November 8, 2020
You may recall that just over three years we created a section on our website called The Air Canada Aeroplan Saga - All the resources you need. That section brought together all of our articles, blogs posts and media appearances when the major news broke out that Air Canada wasn't going to renew their contract with Aeroplan and were going to create their own program. Fast forward to now and a lot has happened, Air Canada bought back Aeroplan but still set about creating a new version of it. That brings us to this new section of the Rewards Canada site where we will bring together all of our blog posts, articles, media appearances and more in to one easy to use summary page.
I would recommend bookmarking this page as it will be continually updated with new articles and information as we learn more about the new program now that it is live.

Way back in 2012 we published a feature and infographic that compared how various credit and charge cards in Canada earned Aeroplan miles. The last time it was updated was 2014 and a lot has changed since then! It is only fitting that we provide a new and revised version of that feature as well since there have been so many changes in those 7 years.
