Is your Aeroplan account in need of a boost? Check out these Aeroplan eStore Black Friday deals along with my tips on how to earn big this year and beyond!
Aeroplan‘s eStore just announced their Black Friday promotions and once again, there are some serious points to be had. With some coordinated spending paired with a little patience, this time of year can land you a healthy chunk of points. At a whopping 10 points/$1 spent on eligible purchases with an Aeroplan branded credit card, you can earn big on items you may have already been thinking about purchasing. This is one of the best Aeroplan eStore Black Friday promotions to date.
Here’s my breakdown on this year‘s deals along with my own spending plan and target earned miles.

Aeroplan eStore Black Friday Bonus Points
For those new to Aeroplan or my site, clicking though Aeroplan’s eStore is a great way to earn bonus points just by shopping. To earn, simply log into your Aeroplan account on the eStore website then click through any of the partner stores and shop. Once you complete a purchase your account will be credited with bonus points. It takes a little extra effort but can land you up to 10 times the Aeroplan points!
These promotions aren’t limited to Black Friday so, no matter the time of year, if you aren’t clicking through the Aeroplan eStore before shopping online you may be leaving a lot of points on the table. With a wide range of partners including Amazon, Apple, and the Hudson Bay Company, chances are what you were shopping for can be found here.

Aeroplan Branded Credit Card
We all know that Aeroplan credit card sign-up bonuses offer the most lucrative bonus points. Using them, especially around this time of year, can also add a lot of points.
Aeroplan 10x Black Friday Credit Card Deal
Aeroplan branded credit card purchases made between November 23rd and 27th through the Aeroplan eStore nets you an unprecedented Aeroplan 10x Black Friday bonus! Although nice on its own, paired with the store promotions, you can now earn up to 17 times the points! Then there is the normal everyday bonus Aeroplan credit card holders get of 1.25 points bringing this to 17.25 times the points!
Aeroplan 10x Black Friday Bonus Limits
This Aeroplan 10x Black Friday credit card bonus offer does come with some stiplations and limits. First, you need to register for the offer. This is done by clicking “Register” on the email Aeroplan branded credit card holders receive. If you don’t have that, check your junk folder.
The main limit is a maximum of 25,000 points or $2,500 spent on the branded card. The purchase has to also fall under the individual merchants’ rules so be sure to check that before purchasing. Last, purchases have to originate through the eStore so make sure you click through from there.
Aeroplan Elite Status Bonus Points
Those who have achieved Aeroplan Elite status can also benefit from Black Friday deals simply by buying products that are already on sale.
Elite Status 2022 Bonus Offer
Note: Black Friday Aeroplan status bonuses have not been released yet. Below is an example of previous years offering so you can get an idea of what to expect.
Elite Status members also benefit with 2 times the points on all purchases made through the eStore now until November 30th. This now brings up your potential bonus points to a combined 18.25 times the points!
Other Aeroplan Black Friday Deals
This time of year is also great for purchasing your Christmas gifts or book a flight for a future date. Air Canada and Aeroplan have a few other notable deals this time of year to consider including flights up to 20% off, vacation packages up to 40% off, and a bonus of 1,000 points just by setting up a Starbucks reward account and making a $10 purchase by December 12th, 2021.
The best deal of the non-eStore lot is a 5 times bonus on Air Canada gift cards $751 or more. These can then be turned around and used to pay for discounted flights now or saved for future travel. I intend to set one aside to pay for upgrades and Aeroplan redemptions taxes, something I would be out of pocket later anyway.
Note: Air Canada gift cards are not eligible for credit card bonus points.
Putting It All Together
Black Friday has now become the time of year when I spend on big-ticket items and things that I generally need. It’s a great time to save and, as outlined above, score big Aeroplan bonus points. It also ties into my Aeroplan credit card strategy (more to come on that) by hitting the bonus minimum spend limits. This type of manufactured spending takes some patience but those who follow will definitely reap the rewards…literally.
Note: the following Aeroplan eStore Black Friday purchase plan is from 2021. The principles are the same, only the bonus values have changed. This will give you an idea of just how much you can earn, especially with this year’s Aeroplan 10x Black Friday credit card deal!
My Aeroplan Black Friday 2021 Strategy
For my Aeroplan eStore Black Friday strategy I have a few big-ticket items to purchase. This includes a new MacBook Air (my 2019 MacBook Pro conveniently just died) an upgrade to my camera along with a new lens, a new Dyson vacuum, and some clothes.
I also noticed an interesting bonus offer of 1,500 points for anything purchased through the Telus online store. After some digging past their TV and Internet, I stumbled on some inexpensive accessories and may pick up an Apple Air Tags for $40 or a phone case for $70. This will net me 1,500 points plus an eStore credit card and Elite status bonuses for the purchase.
After looking for the best prices combined with bonus deals here is what I’m looking at for this year;
| Item | Store | Price | eStore Bonus | Credit Card Points | Credit Card Bonus | Elite Bonus | Total Bonus x | Points Earned |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laptop | Apple | $1,500 | 5 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 13.25 | 20,538 |
| Camera | Amazon | $800 | 3 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 11.25 | 9,000 |
| Lens | Amazon | $900 | 3 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 11.25 | 10,125 |
| Vacuum | Dyson | $750 | 10 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 18.25 | 13,688 |
| Clothes | The Bay | $100 | 7 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 15.25 | 1,525 |
| Clothes | Frank/Oak | $100 | 7 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 15.25 | 1,525 |
| Glasses | Clearly | $100 | 5 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 13.25 | 1,325 |
| Shoes | Sportchek | $100 | 4 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 12.25 | 1,225 |
| Air Tag | Telus | $40 | 1,500 | 1.25 | 5 | 2 | 8.25 | 1,750 |
| Gift Card | Air Canada | $751 | 5 | 1.25 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 3,755 |
| Total Points: | 64,455 |
In total, all of this combined with the Aeroplan eStore bonus points, Aeroplan branded card bonus points, and Elite status bonus, I am looking at raking in 64,455 points for $5,191 spent. Not bad for things that I genuinely was going to buy anyway.
Don’t Miss out on These Black Friday Aeroplan Deals
As you can see, by leveraging a little bit of crafty spending and eStore bonuses, you can top up your account fast. The best part? This is an annual event! Last year I scored a ton of points as well as the previous year so, going forward, I will update this post each year with current deals and my plan. I will also update each year with the actuals as points are added to your account 4 to 6 weeks after purchase.
For those interested in doing the same, remember, the plan really starts much earlier with a list of items you might want as well as signing up for those Aeroplan credit card bonuses and then waiting until Black Friday to make your purchases.
Happy travels and happy shopping all!
