TIPS TO EARN FASTER
You can earn Aeroplan Miles twice - or more - on your purchases
It's possible to earn miles twice - even three times - on the same trip or purchase. It's called double and triple dipping - and it's one of the fastest ways to get more mileage from your Aeroplan Card & Aeroplan financial card!
Earn the miles you deserve to get the rewards you want... faster. Maximizing your miles can bring you closer to the trip of a lifetime or that little extra something you've always dreamed of getting.
Double dipping
You've just earned miles with your Aeroplan Card. Now it gets even better: for maximum earning potential, pay with an Aeroplan financial card from CIBC or American Express(®*) - and, guess what, you'll be earning miles again for the same purchase. That's what happens when you combine your Aeroplan financial card and Aeroplan Card at any Aeroplan Partner.
What happens when you pay with...
- a CIBC Aerogold(®) Visa* Card?
- a CIBC Aero Classic Visa* Card?
- an American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Card?
- an American Express AeroplanPlus Gold Card?
- an American Express AeroplanPlus Card?
