Aeroplan reveals more details of the program post July 2020 – most economy redemptions remain the same, charter flights and conversion to other frequent flyer programs

Late yesterday evening Aeroplan sent out a press release and posted a video giving us a better picture of just some of what they are planning to offer come 2020 when they split from Air Canada. I was a little surprised by an evening news release on Thursday in July when many people are on summer holidays but maybe, just maybe, they heeded my advice.A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak with Jeremy Rabe who is the new CEO at Aimia, the parent company of Aeroplan. We discussed many topics during our hour long call and one thing I mentioned was to not leave the Canadian public hanging. The earlier news from May didn’t really give us much and I said if you have details of what the program will be like, even if it was just one good thing let us know, don’t wait and don’t give it a chance to lose members by keeping them in the dark. Now chances are I didn’t influence the decision for Aeroplan to release this news and video that they did last night but who knows maybe I did. ;-)So let’s dive into what Aeroplan is telling us in the press release and video:Economy Class award flight redemption rates will remain the same for most flightsIn the phone call I stressed, as I have in some media interviews that to remain competitive in the market against programs like AIR MILES, proprietary credit card programs and even the new Air Canada program they can’t change their economy class offerings and the good news is they aren’t for the most part… Aeroplan’s parent company received its biggest boost since announcing a change in CEO in April after its shares surged more than eight per cent Friday after it unveiled changes to the loyalty program once its exclusive partnership with Air Canada ends in 2020.
