Welcome offer
With this welcome offer for the American Express® Aeroplan®* Card, you can earn up to 40,000 Aeroplan points.
Here’s how:
- Earn 3,000 Aeroplan points for each monthly billing period in which you spend $1,000 in net purchases on your Card for the first 10 months of Cardmembership. That could add up to 30,000 Aeroplan points
- Plus, you can also earn 10,000 Aeroplan points when you make a purchase between 14 and 17 months of Cardmembership
With this Card, you earn 2X the points on purchases made directly with Air Canada and Air Canada Vacations.
And 1.5x the points on Dining and Food Delivery purchases in Canada. Anywhere else, you will earn 1X the points.
Enjoy your first checked bag free (up to 23kg/50lb) for up to 9 people travelling on the same reservation on Air Canada®* flights.
Like all American Express Canada Cards, there is no minimum income requirement.
Spending Optimization
Every month for the first 10 months, after $1,000 in purchases, you earn 3,000 points, for a total of 30,000 points:
Month | Purchases | Bonus points |
1 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
2 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
3 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
4 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
5 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
6 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
7 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
8 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
9 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
10 | $1,000 | 3 000 |
Total | $10,000 | 30 000 |
And with American Express’ online promotional offers, you could even recoup a good portion of the $120 annual fee (I’m thinking of Shop Small, for example, where you can get up to $50 in statement credit).
Plus, you can earn 10,000 Aeroplan Points with any purchase within 14 to 17 months of joining.
Air Canada Benefits
The American Express® Aeroplan®* Card is also convenient if you plan to travel with Air Canada in the near future.
With this card, you and up to eight people travelling on the same reservation can enjoy a first checked bag free (up to 23kg/50lbs.) on an Air Canada flight at your point of departure.
This is a great benefit, especially for families!

Bottom line
If you’d like to earn Aeroplan points, but aren’t ready to pay a $599 fee for a Card like the American Express® Aeroplan®* Reserve Card, look no further: get up to 30,000 Aeroplan points for just $120!
And if you’re a couple or a family – and can meet the minimum monthly requirement via your spending – you could each sign up for the American Express® Aeroplan®* Card and earn up to 60,000 Aeroplan points for $240.
You will be able to share these points via Family Sharing.
