Earn Triple Aeroplan Points on Uber rides until May 20

 
Right now Aeroplan members who have linked their Aeroplan accounts to their Uber accounts can earn triple points on rides until May 20. I received the offer via an Aeroplan email over the weekend however I cannot find any offer details on the Aeroplan site which made me think at first it was a targeted offer however the terms and conditions in the email seem to imply this is open to all members. There is also no registration required so I would assume all members who do have their accounts linked will earn the triple points.

The expanded Air Canada Aeroplan partnership with Uber is here - now earn points on ride sharing and Uber Eats

 

In 2020 Aeroplan partnered with Uber Eats in 2020 so you could earn Aeroplan Points for orders made via Aeroplan's eStore. Then just a few months ago Air Canada launched an offer with Uber Eats whereby co-brand cardholders would receive a free Uber Pass benefit but also at that time announced an expanded partnership with Uber would come later in the year. Well, later in the year has arrived and today we see the launch of the expanded partnership between Aeroplan and Uber.

Aeroplan credit card holders now receive a free Uber Pass benefit

 
Just over a year ago Aeroplan launched a partnership with Uber Eats whereby you could earn points on Uber Eats orders made through the Aeroplan eStore. Today that partnership with Uber has been expanded and it operates in pretty much the same fashion as the RBC & DoorDash Pass offer. This new Aeroplan partnership sees holders of an Aeroplan co-brand credit card receive a free Uber Pass membership. The free membership runs for three, six or twelve months depending on which card you have.

Big news day here on Rewards Canada as we revealed the Top Travel Rewards Credit Cards for 2017! Check out the rankings here! The two big moves are the crowning of a new champ for No Annual Fee Travel Points card and the continuing drop of the BMO Rewards World Elite MasterCard.

AIR MILES and Uber team up - Earn AIR MILES Reward Miles on Uber rides + first ride bonus + earn Mystery Miles today + win miles


Just as we posted our daily update which featured the Uber Calgary launch and linking your Uber account to SPG we got the following in our email!

Uber rolls out Mystery Miles Giveaway for One Day Only
Uber to Begin Offering AIR MILES Reward Miles to New Riders

TORONTO, October 15, 2015 – Mobile app-based transportation company, Uber, today announced a national partnership where new Uber riders will receive AIR MILES Reward Miles.
Alright! So now you have two options for points/miles earning with Uber. Either SPG or AIR MILES. I prefer the first as my family are big time SPG users but we know there are whole bunch of Canadian's who don't use SPG (or are even know of SPG) who do know AIR MILES and collect AIR MILES (remember our Travel Hacking AIR MILES post from yesterday?)

To celebrate they are not only offering 100 Bonus AIR MILES when you take your first ride with Uber but today only you'll get Mystery Miles on the ride and there are also chances to win 15,000 AIR MILES when you ride with Uber in Canada (not Calgary and other smaller centres though!)
We’re excited to announce a new partnership with AIR MILES in Canada, where Uber users will get 100 Miles* after taking their first ride.
Today only, to celebrate, we’re placing special AIR MILES cards in cars in Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, Montreal, and Quebec City. Request your Uber, and you’ll be gifted a special mystery amount of Miles from your driver!

To enter the 'Mystery Miles' contest for a chance to win today here is what you need to do:


  • Open your Uber app and punch in the promo code AIRMILES under the promotions tab (top left) to unlock the ‘AIR MILES’ option.
  • Starting at 5:00pm select the ‘AIR MILES’ option in your app and request a ride.
  • If you connect with a driver, you’ll get mystery Miles during your ride, and you might just win enough Miles for a round-trip flight for two!
  • Demand for ‘AIR MILES’ will be extremely high and not all requests will be fulfilled. Available while supplies last.

October 15 Update: Uber launches in Calgary, more NBC World Elite MC insurance quirks, 2,000 bonus points at Courtyard YWG

Another day filled with a decent amount of news and bonuses!

News, Tips & Tricks
Uber
officially launches in Calgary today despite bylaws that are still in place that should have prevented them from doing so. Calgary's Mayor put out a statement with the following included:
"I strongly suggest that you don’t drive for Uber and that you don’t use Uber until the insurance and regulatory issues are sorted out. If you drive for Uber, you should be aware that you are breaking the law."
One of Calgary's most famous entrepreneurs' W Brett Wilson of Dragon's Den fame was the first official Uber Calgary rider. Apparently there are already 500 drivers signed up in YYC and anyone can officially use Uber as of 2pm Calgary time today.

If you haven't signed up for Uber yet you can use our referral link which gets you $20 off your first ride (and $20 to us when you complete that ride, we thank you in advance for anyone who takes up the referral offer!)

Once you've joined you must then connect your Uber account with your Starwood Preferred Guest account! Why? So that you can earn Starpoints on all your Uber rides! You can link your accounts at spgpromos.com/uber


Yesterday we told you about the National Bank of Canada World Elite MasterCard's odd insurance rule for lost/delayed baggage. Well it seems that not the only insurance quirk they have, our reader Stephen H lets us know the following applies to the purchase protection insurance.
"In addition to the baggage insurance warning you blogged about for the NBC World Elite MasterCard, their 180 days purchase insurance does not cover "tablets (such as iPad), cell phones, portable computers (laptops)" as stated in their policy." 

So while it is nice to see that their purchase protection is double what most other cards offer it doesn't cover some items that have a very good likelihood of being damaged in the first six months!
