Aeroplan is among the most easily accessible points programs in Canada, due to the wide range of bonuses and promotions offered throughout the year.
In addition to credit card welcome bonuses and transferring points from bank and hotel partners, the Aeroplan eStore is one of many methods available to earn Aeroplan points, especially during one of the frequent eStore bonus events.
The current Apple eStore promotion is offering members up to 5 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on select Apple purchases until April 30, 2023.
Up to 5x Points on Apple Products
Until April 30, 2023, the Aeroplan eStore is offering up to 5 points per dollar spent on select Apple products.
Notably, you can earn bonus points on the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max this time around.
As usual, some Apple products and services are excluded from earning Aeroplan points, including the following:
- Mac mini
- Apple Pro Display XDR
- Gift cards
- Gift wrap
- Apple Developer Programs
- AppleCare+ monthly subscription
- Employee Purchasing Programs
- Shipping
There’s also a limit as to how many items you can purchase and receive the bonus points.
The terms and conditions of the offer state that each customer may purchase up to five units per eligible product within a 30-day period, and for iPhones, you’re limited to two units within a 30-day period.
Otherwise, if you’ve been holding out on a big Apple purchase until an eStore promotion rolls around, you may want to consider taking advantage of this bonus event.
We’ve seen offers of 7–10x points in the past, which is surely much better than 5x; however, there’s no guarantee as to when we’ll see those offers again.
Other Ways to Earn Points at the Aeroplan eStore
While the above promotional earning rates can be a great deal, there are a couple of other ways that can help you boost your balance.
If you have Aeroplan Elite Status, you’ll earn an extra 2 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on all eStore purchases as part of your elite benefits. This means that you can earn a total of 7 Aeroplan points per dollar spent on purchases via this Apple promotion.
And of course, if you pay with your purchase using your Aeroplan co-branded credit card, you’ll earn even more points as a result.
If you were to pay for your Apple eStore purchases with, say, the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card, you could earn up to 8.25 Aeroplan points per dollar spent at the eStore: 5x points as a promotional base rate, 2x points with Aeroplan Elite Status, and 1.25x points with a premium co-branded credit card.

Keep in mind that some of the points earned through the Aeroplan eStore also count towards Everyday Status Qualification.
As part of the Everyday Status Qualification feature, members need to earn 100,000 Aeroplan points via eligible sources within the calendar year to qualify for the entry-level Aeroplan 25K status. With any bonus multipliers, you’ll be much closer to reaching that threshold than if you were just earning the base rate.
(Note that the extra 2x Aeroplan points on eStore purchases for existing Aeroplan Elite Status members doesn’t count towards Everyday Status Qualification).
Lastly, it’s worth noting that the eStore hasn’t historically been 100% reliable in terms of tracking and crediting every purchase. Therefore, it’s definitely a good idea to keep a record of the points you expect to receive and the date of your eStore purchase, in case you need to follow up on any missing points.

Additionally, eStore promotions can be leveraged to achieve Everyday Status Qualification, giving members additional perks when redeeming Aeroplan points and flying with Air Canada.
