July 13 Update: Aeroplan adds Budget as a redemption partner, Air France Fall seat sale with fares from $799 + more!

News, Tips & Tricks

Aeroplan
has enhanced and expanded the ability to redeem miles for car
rentals with the addition of Budget and more flexibility with the
bookings:

As part of our commitment to bringing members the best travel
experience we can, we’ve made some changes to our car rental rewards.
Here’s what members can expect:

More choice

In addition to Avis, members can now redeem for Budget car rentals
online at aeroplan.com. With over 3,000 Budget rental locations
throughout Canada, US, Latin America, and Europe, we’re giving members
more choice and flexibility when it comes to finding a car that fits
their plans. (And don’t forget, members can earn 100 miles every time
they redeem for a Budget car rental).

Additionally, members can redeem for one-way rentals with Avis and
Budget, by simply choosing to return their vehicle at a different
location than the original pick-up location.

More flexibility

Members can now cancel up until their scheduled pick-up time, and their miles will be refunded at no cost.

Book with ease

Members can enjoy a brand new online experience tailored to their needs, including user-friendly search options and more.

there is a promotion right now for Canadian Diners Club card holders to
receive 30% bonus HawaiianMiles when you convert Club Rewards points.
That means you’ll receive 1,300 HawaiianMiles for every 1,250 Club
Rewards points you convert. Find out more here.
