Aeroplan

The frequent flyer program of Air Canada.

Aeroplan is consistently rated one of the most rewarding loyalty programs worldwide thanks to a published award chart, generous stopovers, and rich Star Alliance partner inventory.

How to earn miles

You can earn Aeroplan miles by flying on Air Canada, by flying on alliance partners (where applicable), and by spending on the airline's co-branded credit cards. Many programs also let you transfer points in from flexible bank programs like Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One miles, or Bilt Rewards.

How to redeem miles

The most rewarding redemptions are usually international premium cabins booked on Air Canada or its partners. Always compare the program's award rate against partner programs—sometimes a transferable-points program offers the same flight at half the cost.
