Aeroplan Credit Cards to include new travel benefits and more

Aeroplan has unveiled a major refresh of its Canadian co-branded credit card portfolio with new benefits starting Jan. 12, 2027, that are designed to elevate the travel journey. The upgrades build on Aeroplan’s category-leading offering, delivering savings to cardholders as they plan, book and enjoy travel.

Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product, Air Canada, said that: “A great credit card should be rewarding every time you use it and offer benefits that fit the way you travel. With new savings on flights, car and hotel redemptions, along with new features that bring comfort and convenience at the airport, these changes across our Aeroplan Credit Card portfolio are designed to deliver benefits to our members at every stage of the travel journey.”

Aeroplan is introducing simple, easy-to-use new cardholder benefits that include:

• Air Canada Flight Benefits via AC Wallet: Premium Cardholders will get up to $100 annually toward Air Canada travel, with $50 available twice a year. Core Cardholders will get up to $50 annually toward Air Canada travel, with $25 available twice a year. The first benefit will be available on January 15, 2027.
