What happened
Air Canada is crediting targeted Aeroplan members 6 SQC per $1 on new Premium Economy and Business Class cash bookings from October 5 to 11, 2026, instead of the usual 4. Travel must be completed by November 30, 2026. The extra 2 SQC per $1 equals 50% more than the standard rate and is calculated on base fare plus carrier surcharges, excluding taxes and third-party fees.
Only the email recipient qualifies. No registration is required beyond adding the Aeroplan number to a newly created cash round trip or two one-ways. Eligible fares are Premium Economy and Business Class branded Basic through Latitude on Air Canada including Rouge and Express. Economy including Comfort is ineligible. Award tickets and Points + Cash do not qualify, and Unlimited Flight Passes are excluded. Partner-operated flights earn no bonus. Changing an older PNR does not count.
Bonus SQC post separately up to 6 weeks after the flights and do not count toward Million Mile recognition. A $2,000 YUL-CDG Business Class Standard round trip represents 12,000 SQC in total.
If the targeted email arrived and SQC are still short this year, book an eligible cash premium itinerary by October 11.
