Registration:

There is no registration required for this promotion.

The bonus appears when you navigate through to the Air Canada website.

Rather frustratingly, Air Canada continues to require customers to wait until October 31, 2023 to see the bonus points in their accounts. This will require promotion seekers to monitor their accounts for the bonus, and track Air Canada Aeroplan down if the points do not turn up.

What I think of this deal:

If you have some travel planned in the next quarter on Air Canada, or even in the new year, and you don’t mind loaning Air Canada some money interest free, there is no question that you should be taking advantage of this offer.

By purchasing Air Canada Gift Cards, you will be earning up to three additional points per dollar spent, on top of any regular Aeroplan Mileage you will be earning through regular flying.

Gift Cards have no expiration date, so as long as you are comfortable with an interest free loan to Air Canada, you can be rewarded for your efforts through the form of Air Canada Aeroplan miles. It is possible to purchase gift cards, then redeem them directly against a flight, which means that you’d likely come out square at the end.

For those that need a mileage run at the end of the year in order to re-qualify for Air Canada Elite Status, this also might be a good opportunity to earn a few extra Aeroplan miles before you lock in your final plans.

If you were to take advantage of this offer, I highly recommend using a credit card that also earns 1.5 Aeroplan Miles with Air Canada products, such as the TD Visa Aeroplan Infinite Credit Card (for similar). This offer can be stacked with the right credit card to earn even more miles.

The Bottom Line: Earn Additional Miles on Air Canada Gift Cards

Air Canada is offering up to three Aeroplan points per dollar on Air Canada Gift Cards.

This has the potential to represent a great deal for those that have travel planned in the very near future. By purchasing over $750 of Gift Cards, then redeeming them against an Air Canada flight, you could earn up to 3 additional Aeroplan miles per dollar spent.

If you take advantage of this offer, make sure you use a TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card (or similar) that allows for additional points earning on Air Canada products.

This time limited offer ends on September 13, 2023, so you’ll have to act quickly.
