Aeroplan + Amazon Prime Day = 5x miles (sponsored post)

You don’t need to understand prime numbers to do the math on Aeroplan’s relationship with Amazon for Prime Day.

If you’re an Aeroplan member, you’ll earn 5x — yes, FIVE TIMES! — the miles during Amazon’s Prime Day!

If you’re not familiar with Prime Day, it’s when Amazon has special offers only for Prime members. There are more than 100,000 deals across nearly every category during this 36-hour shopping extravaganza — and it includes toys, TVs and other electronics.

I’ve been a member myself and signed up just because of the Prime Day deals. That membership also entitled me to year-long two-day FREE shipping, and access to both Prime Video (TV programs and movie streaming) and Prime music.

This is the perfect opportunity for Aeroplan’s five million active members to earn miles faster and get those travel rewards rolling in just by starting their e-shopping through Aeroplan’s eStore shopping portal.

If you’re already going to be shopping the Prime Day deals, why not earn miles while you shop? Make your purchases pull double duty — or quintuple duty in this case!

And don’t forget that once Prime Day is over, the Aeroplan eStore offers members at-home shopping convenience thanks to 150+ brand-name online retailers in one central location. It’s basically like walking through a digital mall. But a mall where you get to collect reward miles.

Members usually earn one Aeroplan Mile for every $1 spent, which is why the Prime Day 5x festivities is all kinds of awesome. Plus, if you have an Aeroplan-affiliated financial card, you earn twice.

I’m saving miles for flights to B.C. so I can tick skiing in Whistler off of my bucket list. What are you saving for?
