With 2,500 Bonus Miles + Family Pooling, It’s Time To Sign Up The Family For Aeroplan

Aeroplan is offering new members a 2,500 bonus miles and introducing family pooling…a perfect way to legitimately put more miles into your account.

New Members Can Earn 2,500 Aeroplan Bonus Miles

If you are not a member of Aeroplan, you can join here. If you earn your first mile by September 30, 2020, Aeroplan will deposit a 2,500-mile welcome bonus into your account.

Bonuses post within 6-8 weeks of eligible activity and this represents 2.5x more than the 1,000 mile sign-up bonus Aeroplan recently offered new members.

You don’t have to fly to earn the bonus miles. You can also transfer in points from American Express or Capital One or earn miles through the Aeroplan eStore.

Leverage With Family Sharing

Among the new program details yesterday, Aeroplan announced it would offer family sharing. Coming in November, this will be a new cost-free way to pool miles among family members.

I plan to sign up my wife, son, and daughter under this promotion. The result will be a bonus of 7,500 miles…which helps a bit to offset the coming devaluation.

As One Mile at a Time noted and I strongly underscore: don’t try to bend the rules by signing up for multiple personal accounts or under fictitious names. Just don’t do it. You risk forfeiting all your miles if Aeroplan ends up becoming half as zealous as many airlines.

CONCLUSION

This is a great promo. It may not be worthwhile if you cannot easily transfer in points (I’m still working that out myself) but let your friends and family know that Aeroplan is and will continue to be a valuable program in many respects.

        @ Matthew — OK, thanks. Trying to decide on $4,700 USD voucher to fly AirCanada of 342,500 AC miles to fly StarAlliance airlines that don’t steal your money.

          Difficult choice. The Signature Suite in YYZ is amazing…best lounge in North America. You and FCQ would approve. And I like AC J. Difficult choice indeed!

    Zero balance, zero activity on my account, time to create a new one.

    Matthew are you saying your wife and son don’t currently have accounts? Or are you making them new ones?

    How do you plan to have them earn their first mile? Especially your son. Assuming they won’t be flying of course. I want to sign my sons up but we won’t be flying before the deadline and I can’t (ethically) transfer miles from my account to theirs.

      Edit: “especially your kids, didn’t grab to exclude your daughter” and by transferring I mean I can’t transfer miles from my cc points accounts to their AP account

        Edit again: didn’t mean **

      They currently don’t have accounts. I will dig deeper in how to add miles to their accounts. I’ll sign up my parents and uncle as well…they all have AMEX points and no accounts either.

        If you make them an authorized user on one of your Amex cards, then you can link their accounts and transfer points to their Aeroplan accounts from your Amex account.

        I’m struggling with this, too. We have 3 kids, aged 10 and up, so it’s not inconceivable they would have accounts if Aeroplan ever audits. However, I’m wondering if we purchase necessities through Aeroplan’s eStore via the kids’ accounts – but with one of the adults’ credit cards – does that still count. That’s the only non-flight way I can think of to get a transaction under their belts.
