  • 10 Easiest ways to earn Aeroplan Miles

    Our regular readers will know that I am a big Aeroplan fan (many redemption options, many partners, and credit card offers).

    I wanted to share 10 of the easiest ways to earn Aeroplan miles.

    1. Get an eye exam.

    FYidoctors provides complete vision care for you and your family, and they are offering Aeroplan miles.

    New patients earn 5x the miles with a complete eye exam. Plus, all Aeroplan Members get 500 miles with the purchase of premium personalized lenses.

    If you have benefits at work, it is crazy not to get an eye exam (they are more costly than most places) but it is your health at stake!

    Book an appointment at one of our 100 locations across Canada to get a complete eye exam and earn even more Aeroplan Miles.

    2. Fill up your car at Esso.

    Most gas stations around Canada are the same – gas is gas and the price is around the same (at least here in Victoria).

    I like to fill up at Esso (I can buy my gift cards at Target to get my 5% off or Shop.ca) and collect a few Aeroplan miles with my fill-ups.

    3. Buy gift cards at Shop.ca

    This is a major partner of Aeroplan. You earn 1 Aeroplan mile for every dollar spent and you earn 1 additional mile if you are Distinction.

    They always have promos, like earn 10x miles for your purchase.

    I like to buy my gift cards as I can double-dip my purchases at Shop.ca.
