Maximizing Your Travel Experience with Aeroplan and Avolta
Traveling is often about the experiences we gather along the way. With a new partnership between Aeroplan and Club Avolta, the journey just got a lot more rewarding for those flying through North America's airports. Starting June 30, 2026, Aeroplan members can link their accounts to Club Avolta through the app, enabling them to earn Aeroplan points on everyday purchases at over 900 airport retail and dining locations. Once fully rolled out, this will encompass nearly 1,900 participating outlets across North America.
New Opportunities to Earn Points
This collaboration is particularly exciting as it integrates earning potential not just from travel-related expenses but from shopping and dining as well. Members will earn one Aeroplan point for every C$2 spent at participating Avolta locations, which include well-known brands like Hudson's Bay and Dufry stores. There are even plans to extend these benefits to dining via the HMSHost chain, ensuring that members can stack up points while enjoying a meal or grabbing a coffee at the airport.
Why This Matters for Frequent Travelers
For the frequent flyer, every little benefit can make a significant impact. With this partnership, travelers can turn every airport stop into an opportunity to earn. Imagine redeeming points from that pre-flight snack or last-minute souvenir—this partnership transforms typical travel costs into a pathway for savings. Additionally, linking your Aeroplan account can also grant access to exclusive offers and rewards, enhancing your overall travel experience. Club Avolta Gold Elite status can even be obtained for free if members possess elite status with other major airlines or hotel programs, further amplifying the value offered.
Broader Implications for Travel Loyalty
The Aeroplan and Club Avolta partnership sets a new precedent in the travel loyalty space. As Scott O’Leary, Vice President of Loyalty and Product at Air Canada stated, “Travel starts well before the boarding gate, and we want to make more of it rewarding for our members.” This shift highlights a growing trend within the industry to enhance customer loyalty through integration and innovative earning opportunities. With over 16 million members globally, Club Avolta is not just re-defining loyalty; it is emphasizing the importance of customer-centric services that resonate with modern travelers.
Get Ready to Earn While You Fly
For those who regularly navigate through Canadian and U.S. airports, this partnership provides a fresh avenue to accumulate rewards in a landscape where every point counts. As Aeroplan works to expand its integration with Club Avolta, members are encouraged to keep an eye out for announcements about more participating locations and upcoming rewards. So, whether you’re just about to touch down or gearing up for takeoff, consider how every stop can contribute to future travel adventures.
