Points partners with Air Canada’s Aeroplan to introduce a new loyalty program concept for Canada
November 09 2021 - 6:00AM
Aeroplan Members looking to build their points balance and get to
their next reward sooner can now take advantage of a new benefit
that will let them do just that.
Powered by the global leader in loyalty
commerce, Points (NASDAQ: PCOM) (TSX:PTS), Aeroplan Booster is a
new loyalty solution for the Canadian market designed to offer
Aeroplan Members a cost-effective way to accelerate their reward
balances quickly and easily by multiplying points earned on both
travel and non-travel related transactions.
With Booster, Aeroplan Members get a
preferential rate to multiply their earned points by up to five
times their value. Initially, points earned from an Aeroplan credit
card, the Aeroplan eStore, or through Aeroplan’s everyday retail,
car and hotel partners will be eligible for boosting. Aeroplan
Members who take advantage of this exciting new product can boost
up to 600,000 of their points a year, for up to 3 million
additional points.
What’s more, to celebrate the introduction of
Booster, Aeroplan is offering Members savings up to 30%* off the
regular rate to boost their points if they take advantage of the
new benefit between now and December 8, 2021.
“Aeroplan is thrilled to be working with Points
to give our Members another avenue to be able to accelerate their
earn and get them to their next reward sooner,” said Derek
Whitworth, Managing Director, Marketing & Loyalty Optimization,
Air Canada. “Aeroplan offers the largest network of airline
partners of any airline loyalty program, allowing our Members to
redeem with more than 40 airlines for travel to hundreds of
destinations across the globe, as well as for hotels, car rentals,
merchandise and gift cards.”
Rob MacLean, CEO of Points, also commented on
the news: “Providing our partners with new ways to engage their
members as travel recovers is an important focus for us. We are
delighted to be strengthening our partnership with Aeroplan once
more with the implementation of this new benefit for their Members.
Consumers are eager to travel again; options that offer loyalty
members ways to accelerate their earnings and redeem their points
for deferred vacation plans are sure to prove popular over the
coming months.”
Points began working with Air Canada on ways to
drive member engagement and generate incremental income for the
loyalty program in 2016. An easy to implement product that has
proven to be effective in generating revenue during the pandemic
when travel was in a downturn, Points’ Accelerate Anything loyalty
solution has been well received since its inception in August
2020.
