Aeroplan is among the most easily accessible points programs in Canada, due to the wide range of bonuses and promotions offered throughout the year.Â
In addition to credit card welcome bonuses and transferring points from bank and hotel partners, the Aeroplan eStore is one of many methods available to earn Aeroplan points, especially during one of the frequent eStore bonus events.
Aeroplan’s latest eStore promotions offer members up to 7 Aeroplan points per dollar spent at many retailers until February 14, 2024, as well as up to 7 points per dollar spent on Apple products until February 12, 2024.
Earn 7x Points on Apple Products

As always, it’s important to check the list of exclusions for the elevated earning rate prior to making a purchase.Â
This time, the following Apple products are excluded from the elevated 7x earning rate:
Apple Vision Pro, all Apple Vision Pro Accessories ,Apple Pro Display XDR, gift cards, gift wrap, Apple Developer Programs, AppleCare+ monthly subscription, Employee Purchasing Programs and shipping.
Aside from these, all other Apple products should be eligible.Â

Other Ways to Earn Points at the Aeroplan eStore
While the above promotional earning rates can be a great deal, there are a couple of other ways that can help you boost your balance.
If you have Aeroplan Elite Status, you’ll earn an extra 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on all eStore purchases as part of your elite benefits. This means that you can earn a total of 9 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on purchases via this promotion.
And of course, if you pay with your Amazon purchase using your Aeroplan co-branded credit card, you’ll earn even more points as a result.
If you were to pay for your eStore purchases with, say, the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card, you could earn up to 10.25 Aeroplan points per dollar spent at the eStore: 7x points as a promotional base rate, 2x points with Aeroplan Elite Status, and 1.25x points from the base earning with a premium co-branded credit card.

Keep in mind that some of the points earned through the Aeroplan eStore also count towards Everyday Status Qualification.
As part of the Everyday Status Qualification feature, members need to earn 100,000 Aeroplan points via eligible sources within the calendar year to qualify for the entry-level Aeroplan 25K status. With any bonus multipliers, you’ll be much closer to reaching that threshold than if you were just earning the base rate.
(Note that the extra 2x Aeroplan points on eStore purchases for existing Aeroplan Elite Status members doesn’t count towards Everyday Status Qualification).
Lastly, it’s worth noting that the eStore hasn’t historically been 100% reliable in terms of tracking and crediting every purchase. Therefore, it’s definitely a good idea to keep a record of the points you expect to receive and the date of your eStore purchase, in case you need to follow up on any missing points.
