Travelers can access a 15% discount on Aeroplan points needed for reward flights when using a co-branded Canadian credit card, offering notable savings for those booking premium cabins, family getaways, or long-haul trips through 2027. This deal is valid globally and includes all fare types, from Economy to Business Class, without being limited to specific routes.
Primary cardholders of eligible Canadian Aeroplan credit cards will see the base fare points for qualifying Air Canada flights reduced by 15%. This benefit activates automatically during the booking process, so users do not need to sign up in advance. The savings extend to flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, and Air Canada Express, as well as certain itineraries with partner airlines that display the discount. Please note, this applies only to the points portion, not to taxes or other cash fees.
Because the value of a percentage discount grows with the award’s cost, this offer is especially beneficial for expensive redemptions. For instance, a flight requiring 100,000 points would drop by 15,000 points. This makes the deal highly relevant for travelers aiming for Business Class or other costly long-haul awards, although award prices fluctuate based on the date, route, and availability.
Air Canada has significantly enlarged its international reach for 2027, adding new spots in Europe and Asia, which gives members more chances to apply the discount on fresh routes. The campaign started on September 10 and is open until 23:59 Eastern Time on January 11, 2027, unless it is extended. Travel dates must be taken by December 31, 2027, providing a much longer window than standard points sales.
For the airline, this move reinforces the connection between its loyalty program and credit card holders, a key strategy as loyalty schemes increasingly drive revenue beyond ticket sales. The offer is exclusive to primary cardholders, while customers without a qualifying card will continue to see standard Aeroplan pricing.
