[Expired] Air Canada Flash Sale: Earn 2,500 Bonus Points and Save 25% on Flights From Canada

Want to earn some Air Canada Aeroplan points? Are you traveling from Canada? If you answered “yes” to both of those, you’re in luck.

Let’s take a look at the details of this new offer to earn 2,500 bonus Aeroplan points and get a 25% discount on new bookings when flying from Canada through early 2025.

Promotion Details

The 25% discount on fares applies to all flights within Canada and from Canada to any destination worldwide within the Air Canada network, including flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, and Air Canada Rouge. Eligible fares for the 25% discount on select new bookings include the lowest fare classes on economy, premium economy, and business class tickets.

The booking window runs through September 18, 2024, at 11:59 p.m., meaning you have a limited amount of time to make your plans. The eligible travel period is lengthy, however: September 28, 2024, to May 31, 2025. That means you can return from a Canadian trip in the fall, winter, or early spring — giving you numerous options for the weather and activities you seek.

Aeroplan members can also earn 2,500 bonus points on new flight bookings made during the same promotional period for the same fares as previously mentioned.

The details of this flash sale and promotion are available here, and no registration is required.

There are some important terms to note for this Aeroplan promotion:

• Valid for round-trip or one-way flights.
• The offer applies to all flights within Canada and between Canada and any destination worldwide within the Air Canada network.
• Eligible fares for this offer include economy (standard), premium economy (lowest), and business class (lowest).
• You must include your Aeroplan number at the time of booking to receive bonus points.
• Available for bookings made between September 15, 2024, starting at 5:01 p.m. ET, until September 18, 2024, 11:59 p.m. local time in the departure city.
• Travel from September 28, 2024, to May 31, 2025.
• Bonus Aeroplan points will be awarded up to 6 weeks after the qualifying flight is completed and will count towards Aeroplan elite status, though they will not count as Status Qualifying Miles (SQMs).
• Flights must be operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Express, or Air Canada Rouge.

You can maximize your earnings by charging your flight to the Aeroplan^® Credit Card to earn 3x points on Air Canada purchases, or consider one of our recommended travel cards to earn up to 5x points/miles when booking airfare.

Is It Worth It?

Is this promotion hot enough to warrant changing your travel plans? It depends. We value Air Canada Aeroplan points at 1.5 cents each, meaning 2,500 points are worth $37.50. That’s probably not worth creating a trip out of thin air, just for the points. However, if the fee for canceling your reservation is greater than the 25% savings on your airfare, this might not be worth the trouble.

However, if you were already thinking about leaf-peeping in fall, snowy winter activities, or wildlife spotting in spring, this offer can provide some bonus points on a trip you’re taking anyway.

Final Thoughts

This is a decent promotion for those who are planning a trip to Canada. After all, everyone loves free bonus points and saving on airfare. That said, it’s not worth upending your travel plans for 2,500 Aeroplan points and a cancellation fee. If it fits into a trip you want to take anyway, then look at this Aeroplan promotion as a cherry on top.
