MONTREAL, May 1, 2023 /CNW/ - Aeroplan is pleased to announce the latest evolution of its loyalty partnership with Uber Canada, giving Aeroplan members the opportunity to earn even more from linking their Aeroplan with their Uber/Uber Eats account in Canada.

Starting May 3, Aeroplan members can earn 1 Aeroplan point per $1 spent on eligible orders in the Grocery and Retail sections of the Uber Eats app, with no minimum spend required. The launch provides a new way to earn Aeroplan points with national and regional grocers and retailers.

• Launch offer: 5X Aeroplan points on their next grocery or retail delivery order with Uber Eats from May 3 until May 31;
• New 250-point monthly bonus: Members will earn an additional 250 bonus Aeroplan points when completing an eligible ride (premium or airport ride), a restaurant food delivery order of $40* or more, and an eligible order from the Grocery or Retail section through Uber and Uber Eats in the same calendar month, every month – an Uber hat trick! 
• New eater bonus: 1,000 bonus Aeroplan points when members open their first Uber Eats account, and complete their first eligible order from the Restaurant, Retail, or Grocery sections in the Uber Eats app;
• New rider bonus: 1,000 bonus Aeroplan points when members open their first Uber account, and take their first ride with Uber;
• Uber cash: Convert Aeroplan points to Uber Cash in the Uber app, from as little as 3,000 points for $25, which can be used towards Uber orders or an Uber One subscription.

"Just as Uber is our members' favourite choice for rides and food delivery, we're confident they will love the addition of grocery and retail deliveries to our Aeroplan lineup" said Scott O'Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product at Air Canada. "We're thrilled to expand our partnership with Uber in a way that helps our members earn more points through things they do every day." 

"Together, Air Canada and Uber have again raised the bar for loyalty programs for Canadians across the country," said Klaas Knieriem, General Manager of New Verticals for Uber Eats Canada. "Uber Eats has grown quickly from a platform to get your favourite meals delivered to a one-stop-shop for anything you need. Now, each time members order groceries or products from their favourite retailer through Uber Eats, they can get closer to their next exciting reward or adventure – from grocery list to bucket list."
