2019 back-to-school shopping deals

Back-to-school shopping was always one of my favourite things as a kid. Scoring the latest acid-washed jeans and pastel-coloured leather North Star high-tops ranks high in the memory bank. But times have changed, and when you can find the best back-to-school shopping deals from the comfort of your living room — AND earn Aeroplan Miles at the same time — there’s a big advantage to avoid the busy malls.

Earn miles as you plan those cherished first-day-of-school outfits and buy the things you need anyway — like indoor shoes!

From August 5 to 18, 2019, Aeroplan members will be able to earn up to 7X the miles just for shopping at some of your favourite retailers…something you were probably already planning to do.

The Aeroplan eStore Back-to-School Event is your portal to find something special to make your kid’s back-to-school memories as cherished as those acid-washed jeans of mine. Earning miles is just a sweet, sweet cherry on top. Maybe you’ll manage to find a super-cool pair of high-tops, too. (Hint: it won’t be hard with brands like Reebok, Adidas and New Balance in the Aeroplan eStore!)

With more than 170 online retailers — such as HBC, Amazon, GAP, Indigo, Lenovo and Microsoft — everything from basics like socks and underwear to the hottest books for aspiring readers to supercharged tech for students who are hopping on a school bus or heading away to university will be easy to find.

Whether you need a family desktop that lives in the kitchen or the best tablet for note-taking that your college or university kid can whisk off to school, there are plenty of tech deals available through the Aeroplan eStore. (Photo credit: Kristina Laukkanen)

And, hey…don’t forget to get a little something-something for yourself while you’re at it. After all, back-to-school should be celebrated!
