Companion 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 guests, and failure to do so may result in a forfeit of the Companion Pass.

¹¹ Rollover Status Qualifying Miles

CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege Card primary cardholders 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. This benefit applies when the member qualified for Aeroplan Elite 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 roll over 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 primary cardholders and does not apply to authorized users. If your CIBC Aeroplan credit card account is not in Good Standing, or if it is closed, regardless of reason for closure, or if the CIBC Aeroplan credit card product is changed to a different product, 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will be removed from the Aeroplan account, and any status earned as a result of these rolled over SQM may also be rescinded.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 primary cardholder is eligible to roll over SQM under another Aeroplan credit card, the total cumulative roll over of all SQM towards Aeroplan Elite Status cannot exceed the maximum of 200,000 SQM. All Aeroplan Elite Status Conditions apply and can be reviewed at aircanada.com/elite-termsandconditions.

¹² Enjoy your eUpgrades longer

eUpgrade credits are valid for 12-months following the issuance date of the eUpgrade credits. New eUpgrade credits issued after July 1, 2024 to the Aeroplan Account of a primary premium cardholder who also holds Aeroplan Elite Status (Aeroplan 25K Status 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 additional 12 months of eUpgrade validity, the primary premium card must be open and linked to the member’s Aeroplan Account and the primary cardholder must hold Aeroplan Elite Status at the time the eUpgrade credit is issued. If the premium credit card is changed to a different product or the account is closed, regardless of reason for closure, or if the primary cardholder loses Aeroplan Elite Status, the expiry date of any eUpgrade credits issued after the date of Premium card product change or loss of Aeroplan Elite Status will be issued with the standard 12-month eUpgrade validity . Any eUpgrade credits issued prior to Aeroplan account linking will retain their original 12-month expiry date. After account closure or change of the primary 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 primary cardholders and does not apply to authorized users. All eUpgrade conditions apply and can be reviewed at the Air Canada eUpgrade eligibility page (www.aircanada.com/eupgrade-termsandconditions).
