Each year, Aeroplan’s Black Friday promotions offer an exciting chance to earn and redeem points at boosted rates. With preliminary details now available, it’s time to start planning how to maximize the rewards this year. While some specifics are still forthcoming, here’s a detailed look at the highlights and opportunities this year’s event has in store.
Aeroplan Black Friday 2024 Points Earning Opportunities
One of the most enticing aspects of Aeroplan’s Black Friday is the chance to earn significantly more points on purchases you might already be planning. Here are the key ways to earn:
Aeroplan eStore Bonuses
From November 28 to December 2, 2024, you can earn up to 10X Aeroplan points per dollar spent when shopping through the Aeroplan eStore, which partners with over 250 top retailers, including Apple, Lululemon, and Amazon. If you’re an Aeroplan credit cardholder, you’re eligible for an additional 50% bonus, up to 40,000 points, but you’ll need to register for this additional 50% bonus offer.
This promotion is an excellent way to rack up points on holiday shopping or larger purchases you’ve been planning. Delaying major purchases to coincide with this event is a smart strategy to maximize your spending power.
Buy Aeroplan Points with an 80% Bonus
Between November 21 and December 11, 2024, Aeroplan is offering an 80% bonus on purchased points, reducing the effective cost per point to 1.94 cents (CAD) from the usual 3.5 cents.
While buying points can sometimes be worthwhile for premium redemptions, such as business or first-class flights, it’s essential to evaluate if this aligns with your travel plans. Remember, there have been better bonuses in the past, so if you’re not in immediate need of points, waiting might be a better option.
Air Canada Gift Card Bonus Points
From November 25 to December 2, 2024, earn 3 Aeroplan points per dollar on Air Canada gift card purchases totaling $750 or more. Gift cards are an option for frequent flyers who already plan to book with Air Canada.
Uber and Partner Retailers
Aeroplan members can earn bonus points through Uber and retail partnerships. Premium Uber rides can earn 25 points per ride, and your next Uber Eats order qualifies for a 50-point bonus. Additionally, many Aeroplan partner stores, including Starbucks, are offering exclusive promotions, making it effortless to collect more points while shopping.
Redemption Opportunities
Although flights—particularly premium cabins—remain the best value for Aeroplan points, Black Friday brings additional redemption options:
Earn up to 50,000 points back on your next hotel booking.
Receive up to 20,000 points back on car rentals.
Save up to 15,000 points on select gift cards in the Aeroplan eStore.
Enjoy up to 30% off on select items through the eStore.
While these deals provide added points savings, keep in mind that redeeming points for flights often delivers the highest value.
