Air Canada Aeroplan Family Sharing has reopened to new enrollments again!
Roughly 18 months after it was shut down to new enrollments, the Family Sharing option from Air Canada Aeroplan is back open. In August of 2023 Aeroplan shut down the option to create new family pools (Read more here) due increasing fraudulent activity happening in accounts.
Air Canada has now put some additional steps in place to keep the fraudsters at bay which is welcome news for all of us “by the book” Aeroplan members.
The process to set up a pool is the same as before with the addition of an additional identity verification step that may be required. I would assume if all members are already verified (ie. set up 2FA) before joining the pool there will be a possibility of not having to be tasked with the additional verification step
- Up to 8 verified family members can join together to share points–while keeping their own Aeroplan accounts
- All points earned, including their existing points balances, are added into the shared pool
- Members with redemption privileges can use points from the shared balance to redeem rewards
- A Primary Aeroplan Credit Cardholder in the family pool means that everyone enjoys their preferred pricing benefit!
- In some cases, an additional identity verification step will be required to provide extra protection against unauthorized use under the terms of the program.
