Air Canada Offers Aeroplan Status Match for US Based Customers
Destination Canada is offering complimentary Aeroplan elite status to US residents who have status with an American airline. You can easily get status through the end of 2021, and you can extend it for one more year when you book and fly one round trip with Air Canada. Let’s see how this promotion works.
The Offer
Air Canada is offering Complimentary Aeroplan Elite Status for eligible travelers with US-based airline status.
You need to be an Aeroplan member to take advantage of this promotion (free to join here). Approved customers will receive the matched status at no cost until 31 December 2021.
The table below provides the mapping of eligible statuses based on Air Canada’s model:
To keep your Aeroplan status through next year, you must book and fly 1 return trip travelling with Air Canada before midnight on the January 15, 2022. You will then have your status extended until December 31, 2022. If you do not complete the return trip before December 31, 2021, you will lose the Elite status for the period between January 1-15 2022, but your status will be returned as soon as the flight is processed.
Get started here.
Conclusion
Earning elite status without flying, or spending any money is always a good deal. This is useful for those who plan to fly Air Canada in the coming months, or even through next year if you can book a flight to extend your status.
Aeroplan elite members get good discounts on award travel. Aeroplan is a transfer partner for American Express, Capital One and now Chase, so you have many earning options. Chase Aeroplan credit cards are also coming soon.

Discounts on awards require earned credits received after each C$4K spend. And unless you’re 75/100K elite, they’re only good for economy or premium economy awards within North America. And to use any AC eUpgrades you must credit your AC flight to Aeroplan. So most benefits may not be of much use to most status matchers other than UA lounge access when flying domestic.
