Upcoming Changes to Earning Aeroplan Points with Uber

Since late 2021, Aeroplan members have been able to earn points on a number of Uber services, which has grown to include rides and Uber Eats.

Beginning November 27, 2023, Aeroplan and Uber are introducing some changes to the way points are earned with Uber rides in Canada and the US, including the introduction of new earning categories.

Upcoming Changes to Earning Aeroplan Points with Uber

Starting on November 27, Aeroplan members will see higher earning rates for two new Uber ride categories, and the introduction of a third new earning category.

The new higher-earning categories are centred around Uber’s Reserve services to and from Canadian airports, which offer riders the ability to reserve cars up to 90 days ahead of time.

The third new category highlights two newer services from Uber: Comfort Electric and Business Comfort. Comfort Electric lets you choose rides exclusively in premium electric vehicles, while Business Comfort offers riders elevated features such as longer wait times, prioritizing their ride request, and additional custom preferences.

The earning rates for these new categories are as follows:

• Earn 3 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Uber Premium Reserve trips that depart from or arrive at an airport in Canada (non-Reserve Premium trips earn 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent)
• Earn 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Uber Reserve trips that depart from or arrive at an airport in Canada (non-Reserve trips earn 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent)
• Earn 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent on all Comfort Electric and Business Comfort trips (these services are limited to select cities, and have historically earned Aeroplan points within the Uber Premium category at 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent)

Aeroplan members can also continue to earn points at unchanged earning rates in the following ride categories:

• Earn 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on all Uber Premium rides that depart from or arrive at an airport in Canada
• Earn 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent on all Uber rides (excluding UberX Share) that depart from or arrive at an airport in Canada
• Earn 1 Aeroplan point per dollar spent on all Uber Premium rides taken in Canada

In addition to the aforementioned changes, you’ll no longer be able to earn Aeroplan points on US ride services, which is a notable loss for those who travel often in the US.
