Aeroplan: Up to 3.5x bonus points on flights

Aeroplan is boosting points earned on paid tickets for a selection of Air Canada routes, offering up to 3.5 times the points on certain journeys. If you have a trip to plan before the end of the year, the window to take advantage of it is short: most bookings must be completed by August 3, 2026.
The Aeroplan points bonus on flights
The multiplier varies by route. Here are the details, valid on Economy fares only (Basic Economy excluded):
- Up to 3.5x points: Halifax and Toronto (round trip).
- Up to 3x points: between Canada and Boston.
- Up to 3x points: between Toronto Billy Bishop Airport and four U.S. destinations: New York (LaGuardia), Boston, Washington (Dulles), and Chicago (O’Hare).
- Up to 2x points: between Canada and Frankfurt, Manila, Santiago, and Tulum.
Booking and travel dates
For most routes (Halifax–Toronto, Boston, Frankfurt, Manila, Santiago, Tulum), book by August 3, 2026, for travel completed no later than December 15, 2026. Routes departing from Toronto Billy Bishop Airport follow a different schedule: booking until September 30, 2026, travel until December 31, 2026.

Impact for Aeroplan points holders
If one of these flights matches a trip you already have planned, automatic bonus registration makes all the difference: no action is required, and the bonus applies as soon as you purchase an eligible Economy ticket on aircanada.com. For frequent travellers who earn Status Qualifying Credits, these routes also speed up progress toward Aeroplan Elite status.
My recommendations
If a trip to one of these destinations was already in your plans before mid-December, here’s how I would take advantage of it before the deadline.
- Book by August 3 to ensure you don’t miss the bonus if a trip to one of these destinations is already planned before mid-December.
- Combine this offer with an Aeroplan credit card that already boosts your everyday spending to maximize your points balance for a future redemption.
