With the new year, it’s time to select your Aeroplan Elite status benefits.
To go directly to your benefits selection page, click here.
Alternatively, on the home page of your Aeroplan account, go to the Benefits tab.
The Aeroplan benefits selection process consists of 2 steps.
With Aeroplan Elite 75k status, here are the first-stage choices:
Here, I’ve chosen the 35 eUpgrades credits that can also be applied to Aeroplan rewards flights and bonus points on Air Canada flights and their partners.
Once the choices have been made and validated, you will not be able to change your mind.
Here are the choices available according to your Aeroplan status:
Here’s what I’d choose for the Aeroplan Elite status level:
5 eUpgrades credits
2 passes
20 eUpgrades credits
2 Status Passes
35 eUpgrades credits
Aeroplan 35K Elite status for a friend
50 eUpgrades credits
Aeroplan 50K Elite status for a friend
Upgrade credits are now valid for 12 months from the date of issue. However, if you have an Aeroplan co-branded premium credit card, their validity is extended to 24 months.
For example, if you select these credits as benefits on February 5, 2025, they will remain valid until February 5, 2026. On the other hand, with a co-branded premium credit card, they will expire on February 5, 2027.
The bonus points applies retroactively to all flights made since you obtained your status. So, if you choose Aeroplan bonus points as your selected benefit later in the year, you’ll still receive rewards for paid flights that you’ve already completed.
All members with Aeroplan Elite status can obtain passes to the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounges:
These passes can be shared with the person of your choice. Simply download your digital pass and send it to the traveller (PDF or screenshot of the code).
If you are a Aeroplan 35K or higher member, you already have unlimited access to the Maple Leaf Lounges.
All the criteria for obtaining Aeroplan Elite status have been detailed in this article. It is now possible to obtain the basic status, Aeroplan 25K, without travelling.
