To the point Until July 17, 2024, Aeroplan Elite members can earn up to 4,000 bonus SQM for their status.

Aeroplan Promotion to Accelerate your Qualification to Elite Status

Thanks to Aeroplan’s 40th anniversary promotion, earn 400 bonus SQM for every eligible type of flight!

The timeframe for obtaining them is limited, so act fast for a chance to accelerate your qualification for Elite status.

Aeroplan Members with Elite status can earn 400 SQM for each flight sequence completed. Here are the conditions to obtain these wonderful SQM bonuses:

  • Register on the Aeroplan Anniversary Promotion page;
  • Book 1 round trip or 2 eligible one-way tickets ;
  • Book between July 8 and 17, 2024 and travel before September 30, 2024.

What’s more, you can do it up to 10 times, for up to 4,000 SQM bonuses!

Eligible flights are those operated by Air Canada (including Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge) and paid for in cash at the Flex fare or higher, such as :

  • Economy Flex, comfort, economy Latitude ;
  • Economy Privilege (lowest fare), Economy Privilege (flexible) ;
  • Premium Rouge (flexible), Premium Rouge (lower rate) ;
  • Business Class (lowest fare) and Business Class (flexible).

The first round-trip flight must depart from Canada, or both one-way flights may depart from Canada.

Conclusion : Tip to Earn more SQM with an Aeroplan credit card

This promotion will be attractive to those short of SQM to renew their Aeroplan Elite status (or upgrade to a higher status). But in most situations, what’s missing are SQS (Status Qualifying Segments) or SQD (Status Qualifying Dollars).

As a reminder, you can earn Status Qualification Miles with your purchases on specific Aeroplan credit cards. For example, with the American Express® AeroplanMD* Business Reserve Card ExpressMD, you earn 1,000 SQM and 1 SQS for every $5,000 in purchases charged to your Card. This is particularly useful if you have a lot of business expenses.

This feature is also available to retail cardholders, such as the American ExpressMD AeroplanMD Reserve Card or TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card TDMD.
