How to earn Aeroplan Miles faster?

Being a business traveler and an Aeroplan member, I've been able to discover few tips and tricks to earn Aeroplan Miles faster and wanted to share them with my audience.

Earn Aeroplan Miles from Flight Bookings

The best and, of course, the most usual way of earning Aeroplan miles faster is through booking your travel with Air Canada. The more you travel with Air Canada the more miles you earn. When you achieve different Aeroplan statuses e.g. Silver, Black and Diamond, the number of miles you receive (and the additional bonus miles) increases dramatically. Travelling with Air Canada and being a member of the Altitude program also adds considerably to the number of miles you earn.

The trick here is, when you travel with any other Star Alliance members (and not just Air Canada), you also get to earn Aeroplan miles on different booking categories, depending on your Aeroplan/Altitutde status.

Earn Aeroplan Miles from Hotel Bookings

Many hotel club programs allow you to accumulate their respective points. Cool thing here is, you can convert your hotel club points to Aeroplan Miles. Starwood Properties hotel club plan, SPG, usually has a very good conversion rate.

From Credit Cards

There are many credit cards available in the market that give you double the Aeroplan miles PLUS an additional sign up bonus which is usually very good. I am not a big fan of keeping too many credit cards as I always pay my card in full. But it would be good to have a credit card that offers low annual fee and still pays you well in terms of Aeroplan miles.

Keep Visiting Aeroplan Promotions page

This is your one stop shop for all the Aeroplan promotions where you can take advantage of the additional miles you can earn. I have been able to take advantage of many cool promotions and have been able to put my points accumulation on a fast track.

Earn from Aeroplan Estore

Aeroplan Estore is an excellent place you can earn miles from making purchases at different online retailers. It includes numerous famous retailers, such as Hudson's Bay, Sephora, Banana Republic etc.
