Terms and Conditions governing charge cards from American Express
The American Express Aeroplan Corporate Cards are issued by Amex Bank of Canada and the terms and conditions provided below have been provided for informational purposes only. American Express is solely responsible for its content and the approval and issuance of new credit card accounts.
1 From time to time, eligible Aeroplan Cardmembers can get access to preferred pricing, which means they can book flight rewards for even fewer points. The number of points required to book a flight reward is determined by several factors, including, but not limited to, holding an eligible Aeroplan credit card, along with other rules as determined by Aeroplan in its sole discretion.
2 Basic Cardmember or eligible Supplementary Cardmember, and up to eight (8) other passengers traveling on the same reservation (up to a maximum of 9 travellers), are each entitled to a free first checked bag up to 23kg/50lbs. Benefit only applies when checking in with Air Canada, for a flight operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge® or under the Air Canada Express® brand. Benefit is not available if check-in is with another airline. If the first checked bag is already complimentary (for example, as a result of Aeroplan EliteTM Status or fare purchased), there is no additional checked bag benefit that will be provided. Free first checked bag benefit may not be applied retroactively, and no refunds will be issued. Lap held infants do not qualify for First Free Checked Bag. Service charges for additional/oversized/overweight baggage may apply. View more information on baggage restrictions.
3 A Basic Cardmember is entitled to complimentary access to any Air Canada Café and any Maple Leaf Lounge located only in Canada and the United States, including Maple Leaf Lounges in international terminals in Canada and the United States when travelling on an international itinerary. Access excludes Maple Leaf Lounges outside of Canada and the United States, Air Canada Signature Suites, and lounges operated by third parties, such as Star Alliance member airlines. Exceptions may apply. Please review the list of eligible lounges.
A Basic Cardmember is entitled to offer one (1) guest complimentary access to the same eligible Maple Leaf Lounge or Air Canada Café. Any guest entering a Maple Leaf Lounge or an Air Canada Café must be accompanied by the Basic Cardmember. Additional guest(s) may enter the Maple Leaf Lounge or Air Canada Café upon paying the applicable fee. For greater certainty, the Basic Cardmember who holds Aeroplan EliteTM Status, may additionally take advantage of the lounge access benefits available to them as part of the Aeroplan Elite Status program. View more information on Aeroplan Elite TM Status. Access to Maple Leaf Lounges or Air Canada Cafés is available in conjunction with a same-day ticket when departing on a flight marketed or operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge®, under the Air Canada Express® brand, or any Star Alliance member airline.
Anyone under the age of majority entering a Maple Leaf Lounge or an Air Canada Café must be accompanied by an adult with access to the lounge. Age of majority is determined by the jurisdiction in which the Maple Leaf Lounge or Air Canada Café is located. Benefit may only be used as described, and otherwise cannot be transferred.

4 The Cardmember is entitled to receive one (1) Maple Leaf Lounge One-Time Guest Pass (each a “Guest Pass”) for every $10,000 in net purchases charged to the card account (less any returns, credits and adjustments) prior to the Cardmembership anniversary up to a maximum of 4 guest passes in an annual period. A purchase must have a transaction date that is prior to the Cardmembership anniversary date and must be posted to the Cardmember's account prior to the Cardmembership anniversary date in order to be considered. On each Cardmembership anniversary date, the calculation of the annual net purchases resets to zero and the Cardmembers must qualify again in the new annual period. All earned Guest Passes will be deposited in the Cardmember's Aeroplan loyalty account up to 45 days following the Cardmembership anniversary date. Each Guest Pass will expire twelve (12) months from the date of issuance.

Eligible Maple Leaf Lounges are limited to those Maple Leaf Lounges located in Canada and in the United States only and exclude international Maple Leaf Lounges located in the international departure zones of Canadian airports. Access also excludes Air Canada Signature Suites and lounges operated by third parties, such as the Star Alliance member airlines. Any guest entering a Maple Leaf Lounge using a Guest Pass must be accompanied by the eligible Cardmember. Anyone under the age of majority entering a Maple Leaf Lounge must be accompanied by an adult with access to the lounge. Age of majority is determined by the jurisdiction in which the Maple Leaf Lounge is located. Benefit may only be used as described, and otherwise cannot be transferred.

Benefit only applies for flights operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge, or under the Air Canada Express brand. Priority on standby and upgrade lists is determined by several factors, including, but not limited to, holding Aeroplan Elite Status, an eligible Aeroplan credit card, and other rules as determined by Air Canada in its sole discretion and as may be changed by Air Canada from time to time. See aircanada.com/elite-termsandconditions for applicable Aeroplan Elite Status and eUpgrade conditions.
7 Cardmembers will receive one (1) Annual Worldwide Companion Pass after spending more than $25,000 on net purchases (less any returns, credits and adjustments) posted to the Cardmember's card account in the 12 months prior to their Card anniversary date. The pass will be deposited into the Aeroplan account 8-10 weeks after the Card anniversary date.
On each Card anniversary date, the calculation of the annual net purchases resets to zero and Cardmembers must qualify again in the new annual period. Purchases transacted or posted on the Card anniversary date will be included in the calculation of net purchases for the next annual period and not the previous annual period.
The pass entitles a companion to accompany the Cardmember upon the purchase of a fixed base fare (plus taxes, fees, charges and surcharges), when the Cardmember books a published economy fare on a flight marketed and operated by Air Canada, Air Canada Rouge or under the Air Canada Express brand.
Valid against the purchase of one round-trip fixed base fare (plus taxes, fees, charges and surcharges) for a companion when travelling on the same itinerary and booked at the same time as the Cardmember.
Passes are valid for 12 months from the date issued. The pass is valid towards a new booking only, and not valid on existing reservations. Bookings must be made directly with Air Canada, via aircanada.com, the Air Canada Mobile App, or through the Air Canada call center (“Air Canada Reservations”).
Maximum of one companion pass may be used per booking. If one-way travel is booked, the full base fare will be charged, the pass will be deemed fully used and the return portion of travel will be forfeited.
Total pricing varies based on itinerary booked. Cardmembers may use the pass only once on their choice of travel: (i) within Canada and continental US (excluding Hawaii) for $99 CAD base fare (ii) to/from Hawaii, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean for $299 CAD base fare, (iii) to/from South America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa for $499 CAD base fare, and (iv) to/from Asia, Australia, and New Zealand for $599 CAD base fare.
In addition to the purchase of a fixed base fare, the companion will be responsible to pay all applicable taxes, fees, charges and surcharges that apply above the companion's base fare. All travel must originate or terminate in Canada or the United States. Valid for travel at any time with no blackout periods. Also valid against the purchase of fares on sale.
The companion will be booked into the same fare brand as the Cardmember and will receive all applicable benefits and services associated with that fare brand. The pass may not be used against the purchase of premium cabin fares, or in conjunction with Aeroplan flight rewards, Flight Pass, group travel bookings, Air Canada Vacations bookings, or any other discounts or promotion codes.
The pass must be redeemed at the time of purchase, and if multiple companion passes are available in association with the same Aeroplan number, the pass that would expire first will be used. Booking must be made before the pass expiry date, but travel may occur after the pass expiry date subject to flight schedule availability at the time of booking.
Pass may only be used as described, cannot be transferred and has no monetary or exchange value. Changes or cancellations are allowed according to the fare rules of the fare purchased.
Changes and cancellations must be made at the same time for both the Cardmember and the companion, and failure to do so may result in the companion pass being forfeited. If during a change or cancellation the pass is reinstated in the Cardmember's Aeroplan account, the original expiry date will take effect and the pass may then be considered expired. In the event of a change or cancellation, travelers are required to pay all applicable fees based on the fare type purchased for each ticket, plus the difference in fare, if applicable, and all taxes, fees, charges and surcharges that apply above the base fare. The Cardmember's account must be and remain active (not cancelled) and in good standing in order to receive and retain the reward.
Companions who are members of Aeroplan or other partner frequent flyer programs are eligible to accumulate points and/or miles for the ticket issued in exchange for the companion pass according to conditions of the fare brand purchased.
Aeroplan Elite Status benefits and upgrades are applicable if the traveler holds appropriate status and the fare purchased allows.
Air Canada reserves the right to apply additional fees for bookings made via Air Canada Reservations. Unused passes will automatically be cancelled on the date the card account is cancelled, regardless of reason for cancellation, or if the card account is changed to a different product.
Air transportation services on Air Canada are subject to Air Canada's General Conditions of Carriage & Tariffs (aircanada.com/conditionsofcarriage) at the time of booking.
8 For every $5,000 in eligible purchases (less any returns, credits and adjustments) charged to the card and posted to the card account, Cardmembers will earn 1,000 Status Qualifying Miles (SQM) and 1 Status Qualifying Segment (SQS) which will be deposited in their Aeroplan member account and appear on the next card account billing statement.

10 Basic Cardmembers who also hold Aeroplan Elite Status will be able to roll over up to a maximum of 200,000 Status Qualifying Miles (SQM) from the prior qualification year to the next qualification year. For rollover of unused Status Qualifying Miles into the next calendar year, apply and get approved for the American Express®* Aeroplan® Corporate Reserve Card before December 15 of the current calendar year. Benefit based on holding Aeroplan Elite TM status, having an eligible American Express®* Aeroplan® Corporate Reserve Card linked to your Aeroplan account, and unused Status Qualifying Miles appearing on your Aeroplan account as of December 31 of the current calendar year. This benefit applies when the member qualified for Aeroplan EliteTM Status by earning the required SQM or Status Qualifying Segments (SQS), as well as the required Status Qualifying Dollars (SQD), in the prior qualification year. If the member has been granted complimentary status, as determined by Air Canada, that is higher than the status they would have earned via their Status Qualifying balances, the rollover amount will be based on the status they would have earned otherwise (if any), and not the granted status. SQM rolled over from the previous qualifying year will apply towards status qualification for the following qualifying year. Rollover SQM will be deposited directly into the member's Aeroplan account no later than March 30 of any given year, provided the member earned at least Aeroplan 25K Status based on their Status Qualifying balances from the prior qualifying year. Rollover does not apply to SQS or SQD. Benefit is only available to Basic Cardmembers and does not apply to Supplementary Cardmembers. In the event the card is changed to a different product or the account is closed, regardless of reason for closure, any SQM rolled over as a result of this benefit will be removed from the Aeroplan account, and any status earned as a result of these rolled over SQM may also be rescinded. SQM do not count towards Million Mile Status and are not redeemable towards Aeroplan rewards. Where a Basic Cardmember is eligible to roll over SQM under another Aeroplan credit card, the total cumulative roll over of all SQM towards Aeroplan Elite TM Status cannot exceed the maximum of 200,000 SQM. All Aeroplan Elite TM Status conditions apply.
11 Extended eUpgrade Validity eUpgrade credits are valid for 12-months following the issuance date of the eUpgrade credits. New eUpgrade credits issued to the Aeroplan account of a Basic Premium Cardmember who also holds Aeroplan Elite Status (Aeroplan Elite 25K and above) will be valid for an additional 12 months, for a total of 24 months validity from issuance date. Unless otherwise specified, eUpgrade credits issued on a promotional or goodwill basis, as well as those already rolled over from a previous benefit year, are not eligible for this benefit. To qualify for an extra 12 months of eUpgrade validity, the Basic Premium Card must be open and linked to the member’s Aeroplan account and the member must hold Aeroplan Elite Status at the time the eUpgrade credit is issued. If the Premium Card is changed to a different product or the account is closed, regardless of reason for closure, or if the Basic Cardmember loses Aeroplan Elite Status, the expiry date of any eUpgrade credits issued after the date of Premium Card product change and/or loss of Aeroplan Elite Status will be issued with the standard 12-month eUpgrade validity. eUpgrade credits issued prior to Premium Card account linking will retain their original 12-month expiry date. After account closure or change of the Basic Premium Card to a different Card product, eUpgrade credits issued with a 24-month validity period will retain their original 24-month expiry date. Benefit is only available to Basic Cardmembers and does not apply to Supplementary Cardmembers. All eUpgrade conditions apply and can be reviewed at the Air Canada eUpgrade eligibility page.
