Aeroplan eStore Promotion: 5x Points for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

Aeroplan is among the most easily accessible points programs in Canada, due to the wide range of bonuses and promotions offered throughout the year. 

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 promotion is offering members up to 5 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on select Amazon purchases from October 10–11, 2023.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days: Up to 5x Points on the Aeroplan eStore

When making purchases through the Aeroplan eStore, the standard earning rate is 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent before taxes and shipping.

With the latest eStore promotion, Aeroplan members can earn up to 5 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on select Amazon purchases until October 11, 2023.

Whenever there’s a promotion on the Aeroplan eStore, it’s important to understand which items are excluded from the 5x earning rate, as well as the limits imposed on purchases, which are stated in the terms and conditions.

As it pertains to this promotion, only products in select categories are eligible for the 5x earning rate. Fortunately, the range of categories is quite broad.

The current promotion runs until October 11, 2023, so you have just a couple of days to take advantage of the higher earning rates.

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 7 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on purchases via this promotion.

And of course, if you pay with your Apple purchase using your Aeroplan co-branded credit card, you’ll earn even more points as a result.

If you were to pay for your Apple eStore purchases with, say, the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card, you could earn up to 8.25 Aeroplan points per dollar spent at the eStore: 5x points as a promotional base rate, 2x points with Aeroplan Elite Status, and 1.25x points with a premium co-branded American Express 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.
