Air Canada launched a new flight bonus promotion for travel to Asia last week. This offer provides up to 6,000 bonus miles for the flights we list below. Always great to have a bonus for flights that you may be planning (the bonus is available on bookings made prior to October 11) and maybe if you are flying alone. Why do we say that? We noticed a new term and condition on this offer that is a pretty shady move on Air Canada’s part. Now I don’t recall seeing this before but it is possible it has been on other bonus miles promotions but the term as we found now states that only the first person on a reservation earns the bonus.
The Bonus Aeroplan Miles for this offer will only be credited to the
first passenger with their Aeroplan Number listed (appended) on the
reservation. Should this passenger cancel his/her flights, the Bonus
Aeroplan Miles will be awarded to the next passenger with their Aeroplan
Number listed, which is now the first listed on the reservation.
Seriously Air Canada? Not only are you members already peeved about all your flight bonus offers being for new bookings only but to limit the bonus to the first person on the reservation? Way to reward a family that wants to fly to Asia with you. Guess if you want your family of four or however many to take advantage of this bonus you’ll have to make separate reservations for each and have the PNRs linked afterward.
