For my new readers, I was thrilled to announce earlier this year that I became a Brand Ambassador for Aeroplan. I’d love to share how the Aeroplan program works. It’s simple: sign up for an Aeroplan number, accumulate miles, and redeem them for practically anything you’d want! Beside redeeming miles for Flights around the world, Car rentals and Hotel stays, Aeroplan also has 12 categories where you can also redeem: Activities & Entertainment, Fashion & Accessories, Eco-Friendly, Electronics, Gift Cards & Ideas, Health & Wellness, Home & Garden, Luggage & Totes, Media & More, Sports & Outdoors, Travel & Getaways and Money Can’t Buy.

I have been accumulating and redeeming miles for almost 20 years now. I have been using my Aeroplan card at their many list of partners, in conjunction with my CIBC Aerogold VisaAeroplan has significant credit card partnerships with CIBC, American Express and TD (as of January 2014) which allow members to earn miles twice if they pay with one of their Aeroplan affiliated financial cards.

Today I wanted to share with you different ways (perhaps you didn’t know) how you can earn Aeroplan miles (to redeem them for awesome things like flights, car rentals, Burberry handbags!) Simply present your Aeroplan card if you’re shopping here:
