Current Aeroplan Promotions: 6K Points on Flights to Canada, 30K Points on Hotels and Car Rentals

Do you have a stash of Air Canada Aeroplan points that you don’t want or need to use for booking flights? You may be interested in a pair of promotions that can give you up to 30,000 points back on hotel stays or car rentals when you use Aeroplan points to book or up to 6,000 points on flights between the U.S. and Canada.

Here’s what you should know.

Current Aeroplan Promotion Details

6K Promotion to Canada

Members who register for this offer and book flights by April 13 can earn up to 6,000 points on flights between the U.S. and Canada. You’ll earn 6,000 points on a round-trip booking with Air Canada, while you’ll earn 3,000 points on a one-way flight.

Your flights must take place between March 31 and December 15, 2025. You must register before booking your flights, and this offer only applies to flights between the U.S. and Canada operated by Air Canada or its subsidiaries. Flights on partner airlines don’t count.

The bonus points from this offer count toward status qualification, but the bonus points are not Status Qualifying Miles (SQMs). Additionally, only paid flights are eligible for this promotion.

30K Promotion on Car Rentals and Hotels

You can get up to 30,000 Aeroplan points back when you redeem points for hotels and car rentals booked via Air Canada.

You can get 10,000 points back on redemptions of 40,000 points or more and 25,000 points back on redemptions of 100,000 points or more.

Members who hold an Aeroplan^® Credit Card are eligible to get an additional 5,000 bonus points back per transaction, bringing the possible total up to 30,000 points.

To take advantage of this promotion, you’ll first need to register at this link. Then, you’ll be able to book from the same page. Note that reservations must be made by April 13, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PST, and the promotion is valid for stays and/or qualifying car rentals through September 30, 2025.

There’s an interesting perk for Aeroplan cardholders, as well. You can enjoy a fourth night free when you book 3 hotel nights using Aeroplan points under this promotion.

Keep in mind that you will have to pay taxes and fees on those bookings and that your bonus Aeroplan points will be credited to your account within 10 weeks of the stay or rental’s completion.

Is It Worth It?

If you were considering flights to Canada, booking with Aeroplan can provide 3,000 bonus points in each direction. Assuming you aren’t paying significantly more with Air Canada than another carrier, this could be a great offer.

Is the second promotion hot enough to warrant using Aeroplan points instead of cash for a hotel stay or car rental?

It depends. We value Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents each, so if you spent 100,000 points on a redemption and got 30,000 back, your effective spending would be 70,000 points, equivalent to $1,050. Compare that to the cash cost of your hotel stay or car rental to figure out whether it makes sense for you to go with points or not.

Aeroplan points are relatively easy to earn, though, since the program is an American Express, Capital One, Chase, and Marriott transfer partner.

Final Thoughts

Right now, Aeroplan has a decent promotion for those planning to use Aeroplan points for something other than flights on Air Canada or the program’s many partner airlines. That said, consider carefully the value of your points when deciding whether you’re better off booking a hotel stay or car rental with cash instead.

A simpler, more straightforward promotion offers up to 6,000 bonus points on flights between the U.S. and Canada. Considering traffic is down on these cross-border flights, prices can be cheap, and you’ll earn bonus points along the way.
