Aeroplan is among the most easily accessible points programs in Canada, due to the wide range of bonuses and promotions offered throughout the year.
In addition to credit card welcome bonuses and transferring points from bank and hotel partners, the Aeroplan eStore is one of many methods available to earn Aeroplan points, especially during one of the frequent eStore bonus events.
Currently, Aeroplan is offering 10x points on eligible Amazon.ca purchases, until October 9, 2024, aligning with Prime Big Deal Days.

Promotions such as these are excellent opportunities to earn a big chunk of points in a single purchase. If you’re in need of some qualified Amazon.ca products, bonus events like this offer you the best return in points for your purchase.
Other Ways to Earn Points at the Aeroplan eStore
While the above promotional earning rates can be a great deal, there are a couple of other ways that can help you boost your balance.
If you have Aeroplan Elite Status, you’ll earn an extra 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on all eligible eStore purchases as part of your elite benefits. This means that you can earn a total of 12 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on purchases via this promotion.
If you have TD® Aeroplan® credit card, you’ll earn an extra 5 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on all eligible eStore purchases. This means that you can earn a total of 15 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on eligible Amazon.ca purchases via this promotion.
And of course, by paying for your purchase using your Aeroplan co-branded credit card, you’ll earn even more points as a result.
If you were to pay for your purchases with, say, the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite Privilege* Card, you could earn up to 16.25 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on eligible Amazon.ca categories through the eStore: 10x points as a promotional base rate, 5x points with the TD® Aeroplan® Credit Cardholders promotion, and 1.25x points from the base earning rate with a premium co-branded credit card.

Keep in mind that some of the points earned through the Aeroplan eStore also count towards Everyday Status Qualification.
As part of the Everyday Status Qualification feature, members need to earn 100,000 Aeroplan points via eligible sources within the calendar year to qualify for the entry-level Aeroplan 25K status. With any bonus multipliers, you’ll be much closer to reaching that threshold than if you were just earning the base rate.
(Note that the extra 2x Aeroplan points on eStore purchases for existing Aeroplan Elite Status members doesn’t count towards Everyday Status Qualification.)
Lastly, it’s worth noting that the eStore hasn’t historically been 100% reliable in terms of tracking and crediting every purchase. Therefore, it’s definitely a good idea to keep a record of the points you expect to receive and the date of your eStore purchase, in case you need to follow up on any missing points.
