Air Canada Earn Your Wings 3rd Edition – AC Altitude members can earn up to 750,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles

On Tuesday we brought you a quick synopsis of the newest version of Air Canada’s Earn Your Wings promotion. This third incarnation of one of our favourite promotions for Canadian’s sees eligibility tightened up as it is only available to Air Canada Altitude members. One could consider this a true frequent flyer promotion as almost all of the earning and bonus opportunities are for flying on Air Canada with a few select earning options from Fairmont and Avis. This is unlike the previous two versions which also appeased the frequent shopper portion of Air Canada and the majority of Aeroplan’s membership base by offering many methods to earn ‘Wings’ which later translated into Aeroplan miles.

The premise of this and past Earn Your Wings promotions is to earn Wings by completing various earning actions.  In this third version you will receive 2,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles for every 2,000 Wings collected.  The more ‘Wings’ you collect the more Aeroplan miles you earn with a maximum  of 750,000 Aeroplan Miles awarded per individual. If you end up in the top 20 Wings earners you will get an equal share of 10,000,000 Aeroplan Miles (500,000) over and above the miles you earn from the promotion.

Your first 500 Wings are super easy as they are awarded just for registering for Earn Your Wings.

Here are all the methods to receive wings with EYW:

  • Earn 500 Wings simply for having Air Canada Altitude status upon registration.
  • Earn a minimum of 100 Wings for every take off and for every
    landing on any Air Canada (including flights operated by Air Canada
    Express) and Air Canada rougeTM flight. This translates to a
    minimum of 200 Wings per flight segment. There are 62 airports that will
    earn a higher amount of Wings for every take off and every landing.
    Refer to the list of cities that will earn Destination badges.
  • Earn extra Wings by collecting badges (see Collect Badges).
  • Finish in the Top 20 and earn your share of 10,000,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles.
A Wings earning sample

To participate in Earn Your Wings you must be an Air Canada Altitude member and register online at: http://earnyourwings.aircanada.com/ by October 3rd. Flights booked between August 25th and October 3rd that are completed by November 30th will count towards earning your wings.

Here is the complete list of badges that offer additional Wings:
