Any guest entering a Maple Leaf Lounge or an Air Canada Café must be accompanied by a Basic or eligible Supplementary Cardmember. Additional guest(s) may enter the Maple Leaf Lounge or Air Canada Café upon paying the applicable fee.

Priority airport standby and upgrade clearance are available on day of travel when travelling on a fare that allows for airport standby or upgrades, and upon satisfying applicable condition(s), such as payment of fees or use of upgrade instrument(s), such as eUpgrade credits. Benefit only applies for flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, or under the Air Canada Express brand. Priority on standby and upgrade lists is determined by several factors, including, but not limited to, holding Aeroplan Elite Status, an eligible Aeroplan credit card, and other rules as determined by Air Canada in its sole discretion and as may be changed by Air Canada from time to time. See www.aircanada.com/elite-termsandconditions for applicable Aeroplan Elite Status and eUpgrade conditions.
6. Basic Cardmembers who also hold Aeroplan Elite Status will be able to roll over up to a maximum of 200,000 Status Qualifying Miles (SQM) from the prior qualification year to the next qualification year. For rollover of unused Status Qualifying Miles into the next calendar year, apply and get approved for the American Express® Aeroplan®* Business Reserve Card before December 15 of the current calendar year. Benefit based on holding Aeroplan EliteTM* status, having an eligible American Express® Aeroplan®* Business Reserve Card linked to your Aeroplan account, and unused Status Qualifying Miles appearing on your Aeroplan account as of December 31 of the current calendar year. This benefit applies when the member qualified for Aeroplan EliteTM* Status by earning the required SQM or Status Qualifying Segments (SQS), as well as the required Status Qualifying Dollars (SQD), in the prior qualification year. If the member has been granted complimentary status, as determined by Air Canada, that is higher than the status they would have earned via their Status Qualifying balances, the rollover amount will be based on the status they would have earned otherwise (if any), and not the granted status. SQM rolled over from the previous qualifying year will apply towards status qualification for the following qualifying year. Rollover SQM will be deposited directly into the member's Aeroplan account no later than March 30 of any given year, provided the member earned at least Aeroplan 25K Status based on their Status Qualifying balances from the prior qualifying year. Rollover does not apply to SQS or SQD. Benefit is only available to Basic Cardmembers and does not apply to Supplementary Cardmembers. In the event the card is changed to a different product or the account is closed, regardless of reason for closure, any SQM rolled over as a result of this benefit will be removed from the Aeroplan account, and any status earned as a result of these rolled over SQM may also be rescinded. SQM do not count towards Million Mile Status and are not redeemable towards Aeroplan rewards. Where a Basic Cardmember is eligible to roll over SQM under another Aeroplan credit card, the total cumulative roll over of all SQM towards Aeroplan EliteTM* Status cannot exceed the maximum of 200,000 SQM. All Aeroplan EliteTM* Status conditions apply and can be reviewed at www.aircanada.com/elite-termsandconditions.
7. Extended eUpgrade Validity eUpgrade credits are valid for 12-months following the issuance date of the eUpgrade credits. New eUpgrade credits issued to the Aeroplan account of a Basic Premium Cardmember who also holds Aeroplan Elite Status (Aeroplan Elite 25K and above) will be valid for an additional 12 months, for a total of 24 months validity from issuance date. Unless otherwise specified, eUpgrade credits issued on a promotional or goodwill basis, as well as those already rolled over from a previous benefit year, are not eligible for this benefit. To qualify for an extra 12 months of eUpgrade validity, the Basic Premium Card must be open and linked to the member’s Aeroplan account and the member must hold Aeroplan Elite Status at the time the eUpgrade credit is issued. If the Premium Card is changed to a different product or the account is closed, regardless of reason for closure, or if the Basic Cardmember loses Aeroplan Elite Status, the expiry date of any eUpgrade credits issued after the date of Premium Card product change and/or loss of Aeroplan Elite Status will be issued with the standard 12-month eUpgrade validity. eUpgrade credits issued prior to Premium Card account linking will retain their original 12-month expiry date. After account closure or change of the Basic Premium Card to a different Card product, eUpgrade credits issued with a 24-month validity period will retain their original 24-month expiry date. Benefit is only available to Basic Cardmembers and does not apply to Supplementary Cardmembers. All eUpgrade conditions apply and can be reviewed at the Air Canada eUpgrade eligibility page (www.aircanada.com/eupgrade-termsandconditions).
8. Basic Cardmembers will receive one (1) Annual Worldwide Companion Pass after spending more than $25,000 on net purchases (less any returns, credits and adjustments) posted to the Basic Cardmember’s card account in the 12 months prior to their Card anniversary date. The pass will be deposited into the Aeroplan account 8-10 weeks after the Card anniversary date.
On each Card anniversary date, the calculation of the annual net purchases resets to zero and Basic Cardmembers must qualify again in the new annual period. Purchases transacted or posted on the Card anniversary date will be included in the calculation of net purchases for the next annual period and not the previous annual period.
The pass entitles a companion to accompany the Basic Cardmember upon the purchase of a fixed base fare (plus taxes, fees, charges and surcharges), when the Basic Cardmember books a published economy fare on a flight marketed and operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or under the Air Canada Express brand.
Valid against the purchase of one round-trip fixed base fare (plus taxes, fees, charges and surcharges) for a companion when travelling on the same itinerary and booked at the same time as the Basic Cardmember.
Passes are valid for 12 months from the date issued. The pass is valid towards a new booking only, and not valid on existing reservations. Bookings must be made directly with Air Canada, via aircanada.com, the Air Canada Mobile App, or through the Air Canada call center (“Air Canada Reservations”).
Maximum of one companion pass may be used per booking. If one-way travel is booked, the full base fare will be charged, the pass will be deemed fully used and the return portion of travel will be forfeited.
Total pricing varies based on itinerary booked. Basic Cardmembers may use the pass only once on their choice of travel: (i) within Canada and continental US (excluding Hawaii) for $99 CAD base fare (ii) to/from Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean for $299 CAD base fare, (iii) to/from South America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa for $499 CAD base fare, and (iv) to/from Asia, Australia, and New Zealand for $599 CAD base fare.
In addition to the purchase of a fixed base fare, the companion will be responsible to pay all applicable taxes, fees, charges and surcharges that apply above the companion’s base fare. All travel must originate or terminate in Canada or the United States. Valid for travel at any time with no blackout periods. Also valid against the purchase of fares on sale.
The companion will be booked into the same fare brand as the Basic Cardmember and will receive all applicable benefits and services associated with that fare brand. The pass may not be used against the purchase of premium cabin fares, or in conjunction with Aeroplan flight rewards, Flight Pass, group travel bookings, Air Canada Vacations bookings, or any other discounts or promotion codes.
The pass must be redeemed at the time of purchase, and if multiple companion passes are available in association with the same Aeroplan number, the pass that would expire first will be used. Booking must be made before the pass expiry date, but travel may occur after the pass expiry date subject to flight schedule availability at the time of booking.
Pass may only be used as described, cannot be transferred and has no monetary or exchange value. Changes or cancellations are allowed according to the fare rules of the fare purchased. Changes and cancellations must be made at the same time for both the Basic Cardmember and the companion, and failure to do so may result in the companion pass being forfeited. If during a change or cancellation the pass is reinstated in the Basic Cardmember’s Aeroplan account, the original expiry date will take effect and the pass may then be considered expired. In the event of a change or cancellation, travelers are required to pay all applicable fees based on the fare type purchased for each ticket, plus the difference in fare, if applicable, and all taxes, fees, charges and surcharges that apply above the base fare. The Basic Cardmember’s account must be and remain active (not cancelled) and in good standing in order to receive and retain the reward.
Companions who are members of Aeroplan or other partner frequent flyer programs are eligible to accumulate points and/or miles for the ticket issued in exchange for the companion pass according to conditions of the fare brand purchased.
Aeroplan Elite Status benefits and upgrades are applicable if the traveler holds appropriate status and the fare purchased allows.
Air Canada reserves the right to apply additional fees for bookings made via Air Canada Reservations. Unused passes will automatically be cancelled on the date the card account is cancelled, regardless of reason for cancellation, or if the card account is changed to a different product.
Air transportation services on Air Canada are subject to Air Canada’s General Conditions of Carriage & Tariffs (www.aircanada.com/conditionsofcarriage) at the time of booking.
9. You can earn Aeroplan points (“points”) for eligible business purchases at American Express retail merchants as follows: Earn 3 points for every $1 of eligible purchases made directly with Air Canada. Earn 2 points for every $1 of eligible hotel or car rental purchases. Eligible Air Canada purchases means only those purchases made directly with Air Canada as the merchant, including Air Canada Vacations packages purchased directly from Air Canada. Air Canada purchases using your card at another merchant or service provider that sells Air Canada goods or services would not be an eligible Air Canada purchase, such as purchasing (i) Air Canada tickets from an online website other than Air Canada, through a travel agent including American Express Travel Services, or as part of a vacation package from another merchant, (ii) Air Canada gift cards, (iii) Air Canada Maple Leaf Club memberships or (iv) if you make a purchase through Air Canada with another merchant such as a hotel or car rental booking on the aircanada.com website. Eligible hotel and car rental purchases are purchases at American Express merchants whose primary business is hotel and lodging or car rental as categorized on American Express Systems. Eligible purchases are bookings made directly with the car rental or hotel as the merchant and paid for with your Card. Purchases made through American Express Travel Services are also eligible. Purchases made through Air Canada, Air Canada Vacations, travel agencies (other than American Express Travel Services), tour operators, and online travel sites are not eligible. Earn rate of 1.25 points for every $1 applies when the merchant code is not in an eligible category, using a payment account or service of a third party, a card reader attached to a mobile phone or online retailer that sells goods of other merchants or the merchant category is otherwise not identified. Provided your account is in good standing, points can be earned on eligible purchases less returns and other credits. Interest charges, annual fees, other fees and cash equivalent transactions are not purchases and do not qualify for Aeroplan points.

10. For every $5,000 in eligible purchases (less any returns, credits and adjustments) charged to the card and posted to the card account, Basic Cardmembers will earn 1,000 Status Qualifying Miles (SQM) and 1 Status Qualifying Segment (SQS) which will be deposited in their Aeroplan member account and appear on the next card account billing statement.
Please allow at least three (3) days after being earned for the SQM and SQS to be added to your Aeroplan account.
SQM and SQS are not redeemable towards Aeroplan rewards and only count toward Aeroplan Elite Status qualification.
SQM do not count towards Million Mile Status. Supplementary Cardmember(s) are not eligible to receive SQM or SQS through this benefit; however, all eligible spend by Supplementary Cardmembers will count towards the Basic Cardmember’s spend.
Basic Cardmembers may earn unlimited bonus SQM and SQS during an Aeroplan Elite Status qualification period. In the case of returns, credits or adjustments that reduce the amount of net purchases below a previously achieved threshold for which SQM and SQS was not previously awarded, you may not earn the SQM and SQS, but if you were awarded SQM and SQS, the amount deducted could result in you having negative net purchases and you will have to make purchases if you wanted to bring your net purchases to zero before earning towards your next SQM and SQS.
All Aeroplan Elite Status conditions apply and can be reviewed at aircanada.com/elite-termsandconditions.
11.

31. “Get a 4th Night Free” Hotel Offer Terms & Conditions
“Get a 4th Night Free” hotel offer (the “Offer”) is a limited time promotion offer for hotel room redemption bookings at participating hotels made with Aeroplan points only between 12:01am ET September 13, 2023 and 11:59pm ET on December 31, 2024 by Primary or linked Supplementary Aeroplan Co‑brand Cardmembers (each a “Cardmember” and collectively “Cardmembers”). Unless otherwise permitted, the Offer cannot be combined with any other offer. For every 4‑night consecutive hotel stays at a participating hotel using only Aeroplan points from the Aeroplan account of the Cardmember booked on the travel booking website operated by Loyalty Travel Agency LLC, doing business as cxLoyalty (the “Website”), a Cardmember will be able to stay one of those four nights at that same hotel during that same stay under the same confirmation number for no additional Aeroplan points. For example, a Cardmember booking a 4‑night consecutive stay will only need to redeem Aeroplan points for 3 nights (i.e., 15,000 points per night required for 4 nights is 60,000 points but under the Offer you only require 45,000 points (15,000 x 3) for the 4 nights). Or for an 8‑night consecutive stay, the Cardmember will only need to redeem Aeroplan points for 6 nights and so forth. The nights must be within the same stay at the same participating hotel, and you can’t combine separate bookings and still get an extra night. There will be no points refund or free night credit for any unused portion of the Offer. The redemption booking summary will show the taxes and fees included in the points redemption rate. Local taxes and fees (such as destination and/or resort fees) may not be included in your hotel room points redemption rate and will still apply to each hotel night booked with points and be payable directly at the hotel. Refer to the Travel Terms and Conditions of Loyalty Travel Agency LLC for more details.
Hotel redemption pricing in points can fluctuate from night to night and the free night is based on the average points cost per hotel room redemption night across all nights of the stay of 4 nights or longer that will be calculated. The average points required for one hotel room night redemption will then be removed from the total of the 4 nights.
The amount of Aeroplan points required per night varies by the participating hotel, room type available at the participating hotel, length of stay, and may also vary by time of year. Points required per hotel room night redemption are updated continuously and may change at any time without notice. If a Cardmember makes a modification to a booking made pursuant to the Offer, the Cardmember will be responsible for any changes to the number of points required for the hotel room redemption nights.
The Offer applies to hotel redemptions of all room types made using only Aeroplan points on the Website. Offer is not applicable to bookings combining cash and points or cash only. To participate in the Offer, a Cardmember must have enough Aeroplan points (either in their own Aeroplan account or in their Aeroplan family pooling account) to cover the cost of redeeming for at least 3 hotel room nights at the selected participating hotel.
The Offer is not transferable and is not redeemable for cash. If the Offer is not running as planned for any reason, including infection by computer virus, bugs, tampering, unauthorized intervention, fraud, technical failures, pandemic or any other causes beyond the reasonable control which corrupt or affect the administration, security or proper conduct of the Offer, the Offer can be terminated or suspended, in whole or in part, or modified in any way, without advance notice. Furthermore, any individual that is believed to be tampering with the process or the operation of the Offer can be disqualified from the Offer and banned from any future offers.The following terms also apply to this Offer:

- Air Canada Privacy Policy
- Aeroplan’s Privacy Policy
- Travel Terms and Conditions of Loyalty Travel Agency LLC
