Aeroplan and Birks announce partnership – Opportunity to earn Aeroplan Miles for 1.6 cents (or less!)

Aeroplan and Birks announced a new partnership yesterday where you can earn Aeroplan miles for Birks purchases and even for selling them your gold and silver via their online ! Anyways I don’t know if I’ll make use of this partnership but it is always good to have more places to earn Aeroplan miles.

The Mileage Earning with Birks is as follows:

– 1 mile for every $1 spent on all products in 30+ stores and online at www.birks.com

– 2 miles for every $1 of platinum, gold and silver sold online at birksgoldexchange.com

Of note however is the 1,000 Aeroplan Mile bonus on any purchase the first time you present your Aeroplan card at Birks up until Dec 31, 12, I can’t find anywhere in the terms and conditions that there is a minimum purchase amount but I would go with $1 to make sure the transaction earns the base Aeroplan mile although I doubt you can get anything for $1 at Birks!. The cheapest thing I could find online at Birks are some $15.00 cleaning kits, so you could get 1015 Aeroplan miles for $15.75 or 1.6 cents a mile which is a pretty good deal! In fact I am need of some silver cleaner so that will make up one purchase but does anyone else know of anything even cheaper at Birks? I think I may head down to a Birks this weekend with all four Aeroplan cards in my family to score 4,000 miles if I can bring the price down even lower than $15 per transaction.
