AeroMexico rebrands its frequent flyer program and does away with points expiry

AeroMexico’s Club Premier frequent flyer program has been re-branded to AeroMexico Rewards. There is one other change to the program outside of the name change and that is they no longer have a points expiry rule. Outside of these two changes the program appears to remain the same. Click here to learn more.

Speaking of AeroMexico, you may have seen another site announce this week that AeroMexico is a new partner in the AIR MILES program. To the best of my knowledge have already been partnered for several years. I checked back to when AIR MILES relaunched their flights program in late 2021 and AeroMexico was listed on their airline partner list at that time.
