Aeroplan and Uber’s Partnership: Earn Points on Rides and Deliveries

In recent years, Air Canada’s Aeroplan program has teamed up with a bevy of brands and companies, including Starbucks and Parkland gas stations and convenience stores, to allow members to earn points on everyday spending.

Among the big-name partnerships Aeroplan has also forged is with Uber, one of the most ubiquitous rideshare and food delivery apps in the world.

Through this partnership, Uber customers can earn and redeem Aeroplan points on eligible Uber rides, as well as Uber Eats deliveries, groceries, and more.

In this guide, let’s explore the partnership between these two big brands.

What Is the Aeroplan and Uber Partnership?

The partnership between Aeroplan and Uber was launched in 2020, and has expanded further in recent years.

At the outset, Aeroplan members could only earn Aeroplan points on Uber rides, but as the partnership progressed, Aeroplan members have been earning Aeroplan points with Uber Eats deliveries, groceries, and more.

Members can also redeem Aeroplan points for Uber Cash, Uber gift cards, and Uber One memberships, either through the app or the Aeroplan eStore.

You’ll earn the following Aeroplan points per dollar (CAD) spent before promotions and discounts, and excluding taxes, fees, and tips, on eligible Uber rides:

• 3 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Uber Premium Reserve trips that depart from or arrive at a Canadian airport
• 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on Uber Reserve trips that depart from or arrive at a Canadian airport
