Aeroplan is one of the most accessible loyalty programs in Canada, thanks to its frequent promotions and wide range of earning opportunities.

More 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 eligible eStore purchases as part of your elite benefits. This means that you can earn a total of up to 7 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on purchases via this promotion.
And of course, by paying for your purchase using your Aeroplan co-branded credit card, you’ll earn even more points as a result.
For example, if you pay with the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card, you’ll earn:
- 5x points as a promotional base rate
- 2x points from Elite Status bonus
- 1.25x points from the base earning rate with a premium co-branded credit card
Total: 8.25 points per dollar spent on eligible purchases.

Additionally, 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 the bonus multipliers, you’ll be much closer to reaching that threshold than if you were just earning the base rate.
(Note: 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.
To help you decide decide whether this eStore bonus is a good opportunity for you, here’s a look back at the Aeroplan eStore’s past bonuses:
Conclusion
For Aeroplan members, the Aeroplan eStore is one of the easiest ways to earn points without booking a flight. With over 275 retail partners and frequent promotions, it’s a reliable option for boosting your balance year-round.
The current Back to School promotion offers up to 5x points at select retailers, and when combined with a co-branded credit card and Elite Status, it’s a great way to maximize rewards on everyday purchases.
Plus, since many of these points count toward Everyday Status Qualification, shopping through the eStore can help bring you closer to unlocking Aeroplan 25K status—without ever setting foot on a plane.
