Aeroplan members can now earn Aeroplan points at select airport retail outlets thanks to a new partnership with Club Avolta.
By linking their Aeroplan rewards plan on the Club Avolta app, members will earn one Aeroplan point for every C$2 spent on eligible purchases in-store at participating locations operated by Avolta’s Hudson and Dufry, and when pre-ordering through Avolta’s Reserve & Collect online service and via the company’s Club Avolta app.
According to the announcement, travellers who link their Aeroplan and Club Avolta accounts can also unlock access to offers, rewards and cross-promotions across Air Canada’s global network and at Avolta’s duty-free, convenience and participating specialty retail outlets.
Travel starts well before the boarding gate, and we want to make more of it rewarding for our members,” said Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product at Air Canada. “Our partnership with Avolta brings Aeroplan into moments that are already part of how people travel –grabbing a bite before their flight, picking up a duty-free deal – creating more ways for our members to earn across the entire trip.”
Participating airport locations include Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Calgary International Airport (YYC) and Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ), plus major U.S. airports such as Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and Chicago O’Hare (ORD).
The next phase of the partnership will expand to include Avolta’s HMSHost dining locations, allowing members to earn on eligible food and beverage purchases at casual dining restaurants, quick-service outlets, bars and Grab & Go locations. Once the expansion rolls out later this year, the partnership will include nearly 1,900 participating airport retail and food and beverage outlets across North America.
“The Club Avolta and Aeroplan partnership represents a transformational milestone for Club Avolta as our first North American airline loyalty integration,” said Atousa Ghoreichi, Avolta’s Senior Vice President of Digital, North America. “With Club Avolta, we’re enhancing the Air Canada customer journey by providing additional earning opportunities to Aeroplan Members. As our partnership grows to nearly 1,900 retail and food & beverage outlets in North America, there will be endless ways for travellers to earn.”
