The American Express^® Aeroplan^®* Card also comes in handy if you’re planning to travel with Air Canada in the near future.

In fact, as a cardholder, you and up to eight companions travelling with the same reservation are entitled to a first checked bag free of charge (maximum weight 23 kg/50 lb) when you board an Air Canada flight at your point of departure.

Given that a checked bag can cost between $35 and $75, this is a significant advantage, especially for families!

Thanks to American Express Online Offers, you could recoup a good portion of the $120 annual fee ( Shop Small, for example, gives you up to $50 in statement credit).

You’ll also have access to American Express Experiences, which includes benefits for concertgoers:

• Front Of The Line^® Presales: Front Of The Line Presale tickets with American Express Experiences can get you access to some of the most in-demand concerts, theatre productions, restaurants and special events before the general public.
• Front Of The Line^® Reserved tickets: Get access to Front Of The Line Reserved tickets from a block of great seats reserved exclusively for Cardmembers during the public on-sale period for many major events with American Express Experiences.

The American Express^® Aeroplan^®* Card comes with a wide range of travel and purchase insurance coverages:

• Travel accident insurance
• Flight Delay Insurance
• Baggage delay insurance
• Car Rental Theft and Damage Insurance
• Hotel/Motel Burglary Insurance
• Extended warranty
• Buyer’s Assurance^® Protection Plan

If you’d like to earn Aeroplan points, but aren’t willing to pay a $599 fee for a Card like the American Express^® Aeroplan^®* Reserve Card, look no further: earn up to 50,000 Aeroplan points with the American Express^® Aeroplan^®* Card!

And unlike the Aeroplan Visa Infinite cards, no minimum income is required to get approved for the American Express card.
