Air Canada is paying bonus Aeroplan points on new cash bookings made by Nov. 15, 2026. Premium Economy fares anywhere in its network earn a 1X bonus, which doubles your base points. Economy fares on six specific routes earn a 2X bonus, which triples them. No registration is needed, but the booking must be new and made by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Nov. 15.

The details come from the offer terms on Air Canada's website, which we checked on Nov. 9, 2026. The offers opened at 10 a.m. Eastern on Nov. 3.

What "1X" and "2X" really mean#

The labels are easy to misread. Air Canada's terms describe each offer as a bonus on top of your base points, and they give worked examples.

Air Canada says its examples assume a fare where the base fare and carrier surcharges add up to 1,000 Canadian dollars, earning 1,000 base points. It stresses that the example does not show actual pricing or the exact earning for any fare. Your base points depend on your fare and the program's usual earning rules.

Some coverage of this sale calls both offers "2x points." Based on Air Canada's own examples, the six economy routes are better than that: total earning is three times base.

The six economy routes#

The 2X bonus applies to these routes, in Economy Standard, Economy Flex, Comfort or Latitude fares. Economy Basic is excluded. Travel must be done by April 30, 2027.

RouteRule
Montreal (YUL) to or from Edmonton (YEG)Must start and end at YUL and YEG
Canada to or from Newark (EWR)Must start or end at EWR
Canada to or from Sapporo (CTS)Must start or end at CTS
Canada to or from Quito (UIO)Must start or end at UIO
Canada to or from Frankfurt (FRA)Must start or end at FRA
Canada to or from Puerto Vallarta (PVR)Must start or end at PVR

The terms say these airports cannot be just a connecting point. A connection along the way is allowed, though. Air Canada's example says a Montreal to Edmonton trip with a stop in Toronto counts as one eligible one-way trip.

The Premium Economy offer#

The 1X bonus covers Premium Economy Latitude, Standard and Basic fares to "any worldwide destination within the Air Canada network." Travel must take place by March 29, 2027.

Rules that apply to both#

Air Canada's terms list these conditions:

  • New bookings only. The booking must be created during the offer period with a new booking reference. Changing an older booking into the travel window does not count.
  • Air Canada flights only. That includes Air Canada Express and Air Canada Rouge. Codeshares, partner flights, Air Canada Vacations packages and specialty fares such as group or tour tickets are excluded.
  • Cash fares only. Award bookings and points-plus-cash bookings do not qualify.
  • What earns. Points are based on the base fare and carrier surcharges, not taxes, fees or third-party charges.
  • No status credit. Bonus points do not count as Status Qualifying Credits or Lifetime Qualifying Miles, or toward Everyday Status Qualification.
  • Not a multiplier on other bonuses, including the Aeroplan Elite points multiplier.
  • Timing. Bonus points post up to six weeks after you fly.
  • Everyone on the booking who is an Aeroplan member earns the bonus.

Is it worth booking for?#

This is a bonus on travel you would buy anyway. It is not a reason to book a trip on its own. It is most useful if you already plan to fly one of the six economy routes this winter, since the bonus triples your base points. For a Premium Economy trip, doubling the base points helps offset the higher fare.

If you have a trip in mind but have not booked it, the Nov. 15 deadline is the date to watch. Remember the terms are in Canadian dollars, and fares in other currencies are converted to CAD before points are calculated.
