For each additional increment of 20,000 SQC, up to a maximum of 1 million SQC, members automatically receive 20 eUpgrade credits and retain the option to choose an additional benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The options available at these levels remain the same as those offered at the 220,000 SQC milestone, allowing you to continue accumulating benefits with each milestone reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-best-aeroplan-elite-milestone-benefits-to-choose\"><strong>What are the Best Aeroplan Elite Milestone Benefits to Choose?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every choice counts. Benefits are no longer offered recurrently at each tier: some appear only once, at a specific point in your journey. It therefore becomes essential to plan your strategy according to your travel priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, passes for <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/strategy\/acces-salons-feuille-erable-air-canada\/\">Maple Leaf Lounges<\/a> are only offered at the 20,000 and 40,000 SQC milestones. Not selecting them at that time means it will no longer be possible to obtain them later. An important detail to consider if you were used to offering them to your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those looking to maximize their <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/aeroplan-eupgrades-business-class\/\">eUpgrade credits<\/a> or Priority Rewards will have to make certain trade-offs, such as foregoing status passes or lounge passes.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--s-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"121580\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, members seeking a final boost to achieve status can also choose to obtain bonus SQC: up to 10,000 towards Super Elite status, 5,000 towards 75K, or 2,500 towards 50K. This choice, however, comes at the expense of other more tangible benefits, such as the valuable Priority Rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 130,000 SQC, once Super Elite status is obtained, the options become more generous. The bonus SQC offered at these levels allow you to get a head start for the following year, especially if you hold a <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/credit-cards\/american-express-aeroplan-reserve-card\/\">premium Aeroplan credit card<\/a>. The number of eUpgrade credits increases significantly: from this stage, you earn 20 credits for every 20,000 SQC, and then for every 10,000 SQC starting at 190,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, having a <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/aeroplan-credit-card-comparison\/\">premium Aeroplan credit card<\/a> is a major strategic advantage. These cards not only let you earn more points and Status Qualifying Credits (SQC) faster, but also allow you to start the following year with a credit equal to 10% of the SQC earned during the year, a benefit that will begin in 2027. By combining milestone benefits with the perks of your credit card, you maximize every dollar spent and accelerate your progress toward higher status levels while continuously earning points.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='m'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--m container_count--3'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"196966,109341,175297\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to optimize your Aeroplan strategy, it&#8217;s worth comparing the available credit cards.

Whether you\u2019re an occasional traveller, a family looking to maximize everyday spending, or a frequent business traveller, these benefits enhance every stage of your journey. Here are three concrete examples that show how milestone benefits improve your experience from A to Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-example-1-occasional-traveller-catherine\"><strong>Example 1 \u2013 Occasional Traveller: Catherine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Catherine travels a few times a year, mainly for leisure, and is a regular user of the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guides\/destination\/air-canada-destinations-aeroplan\/\">Air Canada and partner network<\/a>. In 2025, she achieved Aeroplan 25K status with her usual leisure travels. In 2026, she discovers that it\u2019s now easier to progress toward Aeroplan Elite Status thanks to Status Qualifying Credits (SQC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earning-points-and-milestones\">Earning Points and Milestones<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A $2,500 ticket in Premium Economy earns 4 SQC per dollar spent, totaling 10,000 SQC on the first trip, which unlocks the first milestone and 10 eUpgrade credits. By adding a second trip to S\u00e3o Paulo in <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reviews\/products\/air-canada-business-class\/\">Business Class<\/a> for $3,750, she reaches 25,000 SQC and renews her 25K status, crossing the first two milestones.

Since her itinerary includes a connection at <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/news\/toronto-pearson-yyz\/\">Toronto Pearson Airport<\/a>, she enjoys priority <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/air-canada-same-day-standby\/\">standby<\/a> thanks to her 25K status, allowing her to arrive earlier and take advantage of the Maple Leaf Lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-the-airport\">At the Airport<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>She skips the lines with priority check-in and checks her two bags for free.

They decide to take advantage of this to subscribe to a premium <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/best-aeroplan-credit-card\/\">Aeroplan credit card<\/a> to maximize their returns.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--s-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"145274\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earning-points-and-milestones-0\">Earning Points and Milestones<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By spending $100,000 on their card in 2026, they unlock a welcome bonus of approximately 100,000 Aeroplan points, accumulate approximately 150,000 additional points thanks to the card&#8217;s base accumulation rate, and obtain 20,000 SQC (1,000 SQC per $5,000 spent). Without even flying, they once again achieve 25K status in 2026 and the first two milestone benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-the-flight-0\">Before the Flight<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to their points, they finally treat themselves to a vacation this year. They book a family trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/destination\/western-canada-itinerary-budget\/\">Canadian West<\/a> with points without dipping into their savings. With their eUpgrades credits, they upgrade to Premium Economy and enjoy free preferred seats for their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-the-airport-0\">At the Airport<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Their status offers them priority check-in and free baggage. Their premium card provides access to the Maple Leaf lounge for two people. So that the whole family can enjoy it, they use their second milestone benefit to get two additional passes. This way, the whole family can relax before departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-flight-0\">In Flight<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Priority boarding helps them avoid the stress of overhead compartments being full.

He regularly flies to meet his clients and often has to change his bookings according to his meetings. He therefore chooses Economy Flex fares, which are more expensive but offer greater flexibility, allowing him to adapt to unexpected work commitments. John regularly maintains <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/air-canada-aeroplan-elite-status\/\">Aeroplan Elite Status<\/a>, year after year, with this lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earning-points-and-milestones-1\">Earning Points and Milestones<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, over four round trips between Toronto and Vancouver, for a total of approximately $6,250 in Flex fares, John reaches 25,000 SQC. He therefore earns 25K status and reaches the first two milestones. At the first milestone (10,000 SQC), he automatically receives 10 eUpgrades credits. At the second milestone (20,000 SQC), he chooses to obtain 10 additional eUpgrades credits because he prefers to maximize his in-flight comfort for his frequent travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-before-the-flight-1\">Before the Flight<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to his 20 eUpgrades credits, John plans his next trips between Toronto and Vancouver by using them to upgrade to <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/reviews\/products\/air-canada-business-class\/\">business class<\/a>. He enjoys priority boarding, access to the Maple Leaf Lounge when available through his ticket or credit card, and most importantly, a quieter environment to work in before takeoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-the-airport-1\">At the Airport<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>His 25K status entitles him to priority check-in and one free checked bag.

He enjoys a full meal and more attentive service, which allows him to arrive at his destination rested and ready for his meetings. The eUpgrades credits allow him to access this comfort without paying the full ticket price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-after-the-flight-1\">After the Flight<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>His business trips now earn him more Aeroplan points thanks to the multiplier linked to his Elite status.
