Air Canada is bringing back a promotion that really pays off: 4X Aeroplan points in Economy class. To take advantage, you must book your tickets between June 25 and July 3, 2026. Travel, meanwhile, can take place until February 28, 2027.
In practical terms, you earn four times more bonus points on your flight’s base fare. The promotion applies to Economy class, but also to Premium Economy and Business Class (Standard fares). Here are the exact conditions, eligible regions and cabins, and the best credit cards to get the most out of this bonus.
To compare all your options, check out our best credit cards page.
This offer applies to flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express. No registration is required, as the bonus is added automatically if your Aeroplan number is on the booking.
The 4X bonus is additive. Air Canada adds four times your base earn to the usual earn, bringing the total to five times the points for that ticket.
Let’s take a concrete example. A flight that normally earns 1,000 base points gives you 4,000 bonus points thanks to the promotion. In total, you walk away with 5,000 Aeroplan points for that single ticket.
The promotion covers a wide network. It targets domestic flights within Canada as well as routes between Canada and several regions of the world.
Points are calculated on the base fare and carrier surcharges. Taxes, fees and third-party charges are therefore not included in the bonus calculation.
The 4X bonus is added to the points you already earn with your credit card. With an Aeroplan co-branded card, you therefore stack the card’s purchase multiplier on top of the flight bonus.
The American Express Cobalt Card earns Membership Rewards points transferable to Aeroplan at a 1:1 rate. Meanwhile, Aeroplan cards from American Express, CIBC and TD deposit points directly into your Aeroplan account.
If you already had a trip in mind by February 2027, the answer is yes. The booking window only lasts a few days.
If you’re unsure about your dates, opt for a changeable or refundable fare. That way, you lock in the bonus without boxing yourself into a specific itinerary.
This bonus also comes in a context of changes at Aeroplan. The award chart has evolved recently, and some points redemption opportunities will soon disappear.
I monitor this type of Aeroplan promotion closely, and this one is worth paying attention to. The 4X bonus is a great opportunity to accelerate your points accumulation, whether you travel in Economy, Premium Economy or Business Class this summer or fall. The only real catch remains the July 3 deadline. To follow upcoming Aeroplan offers, subscribe to our newsletter.
