Aeroplan Expiry Extension

 

Air Canada announced that they have extended the pause on expiry of Aeroplan points until May 31, 2023 – meaning that between now and May 30, 2023, any Aeroplan points which would have expired will not.  Effective May 31, 2023, the normal Aeroplan expiration policy will once again apply meaning points will expire if an eligible transaction has not been completed within the 18 months prior to this date.

As a reminder, for members who do end up expiring (after May 30, 2023), as part of Air Canada policy, Aeroplan will reinstate all their points if they fly with Air Canada or if they get an Aeroplan co-brand credit card via one of our partners TD, CIBC, American Express or Chase, within 6 months of the day the points expired.
