Heads up, Aeroplan members! Remember when Air Canada paused Aeroplan points expiration during the pandemic? Well, the free ride is ending. Aeroplan is bringing back its original policy where your points expire after 18 months of inactivity.

The good news? You've got some time. Aeroplan is giving everyone a heads-up: Points that would have expired between now and November 30, 2026, are safe. But after that, the 18-month clock starts ticking again. This is important because if you're sitting on a pile of Aeroplan points you'll need to plan some qualifying activity before they disappear forever.

So, what counts as "activity"? Earning or redeeming points will reset the expiration clock. Even transferring points from another program (like Amex Membership Rewards or Chase Ultimate Rewards) will do the trick! Time to dust off your Aeroplan account and make a small purchase or plan your next points redemption to keep those miles alive.
