I would love to see aeroplan replace air miles at grocery stores like metro and Sobey’s....and/or a gas station Partnership again would be nice too.

Gio couldn't you just use an Amex Gold card for metro sobeys grocery purchases for 2x pts/dollar spent, then transfer MR pts to Aeroplan 1:1?

That is awesome, Ricky! By the way, buying a cup of coffee from Starbucks is another good way to extend the expiration policy of Aeroplan for another 12-18 months if you are not a frequent traveller.

Glad it was helpful!

Already received 3 times the miles when linking and paying with tap on my phone through American Express Aeroplane Reserve card. I use Samsung pay but works with other “wallets “ too.

For the 400 bonus points does simply making a purchase in a Starbucks store work if I scan my newly linked loyalty card, or do I have to spend with an Aeroplan credit card, or do I have to purchase through some Aeroplan portal first?

Just use your newly linked Starbucks Card to make a purchase and you should be good to go.

How long does it take for the Aeroplan points to show up? I just reloaded $75 on my Starbucks app.

My wife is the one with the Starbucks Rewards card but it's my Aeroplan account. is there a way to link the two still?

Thanks for posting Richard. Not a big Starbucks guy but this could increase my interest in visiting more. Not frequent enough to get the bonus points though..

Load the $75, then spend it slowly over time as you wish. At least you get the bonus points then.

FRESH haircut thanks for the info Ricky!

Starbucks + Aeroplan = ❤️ I just wish this was done earlier pre pandemic when I was a daily frequenter of the chain. Still a good move by Aeroplan and I look forward to more partnerships and hopefully some of your predictions are correct Ricky.

Couldn't agree more, I think it'll be a more prominent after the pandemic when people are back in offices and getting their morning coffees for the team

I've noticed you just get points for loading funds into your starbucks account but not on purchases unless they have promotions stating so, also uber linking is only points on uber premium rides...the fine print of starbucks, and uber/uber eats must be read upfront....LCBO is still the most straightforward and last in person way to get points with the actual card....you have to use the starbucks app they won't ask for the card

Awesome Ricky! Signing up for a Starbucks account tonight! But couldn't I just use my Amex Platinum card on each Starbucks purchase to get 3X MR pts which in turn translates to 3X Aeroplan pts per dollar spent at Starbucks? 🤔

Yes you can! The premium cards with dining bonuses will still outstrip TD's temporary promotion at the end of the day.

Tims is more affordable, but I guess Tims does not have marketing budget to get you Aeroplan miles.

True that. If you're a more frugal individual though, you'd go with Tims and maximize Aeroplan points on the side through credit card bonuses ;)

I am really unhappy with Aeroplan right now. I purchased something at one of their online shops in Nov. and have never gotten the points. I have reached out to them and I am still waiting to hear back and it has been weeks. That is not prerformance.

Starbucks is a great add on, if you get coffee anyway there, why not earn points. As to losing LCBO? didn't know. Stopped shopping at Lowes and Rexall when they dropped AirMiles. As to future partnerships, Marriott would be great, although Hertz would be useless, they never have good rates like other Rentals do. IT would be cool if Costco picked up AMEX again....

It's interesting that the Starbucks website doesn't let you choose $75, only ($25,$50,$100). I guess you have to go into the store to do 75?
