Overview

• Aeroplan points will convert from distance-based awards to one point per dollar spent on eligible Air Canada base fares and carrier surcharges.
• A new Status Qualifying Credits (SQC) system replaces qualifying dollars, miles and segments, letting members earn up to four SQCs per dollar on Air Canada flights and up to 25,000 SQCs each from Aeroplan credit-card spend and partner activity annually.
• Elite status tiers will receive multipliers of two to six points per dollar spent, based on members’ status level.
• All core and milestone perks—including priority check-in, free checked bags and Status Passes—will continue, and premium cardholders will gain a 10% SQC bonus beginning in 2027.
• Aeroplan expects the overhaul to be revenue-neutral and plans frequent bonus promotions to offset reduced point earnings on lower-priced long-haul fares.
