Aeroplan

Desperate to secure a Business-Class YYZ-FLL flight, several months we booked 2 late-day, 1-way tickets, on the only available non-stop flight. The "fees/taxes" totalled $250. Today, I discovered that Aeroplan offers a Market Fare (Black) for the alternate flight we originally wanted for an additional points, and ONLY $62 per person for "taxes/fees". Why the difference? Hopefully once the Air Canada buyout is completed this price-gouging will end!

This so-called "loyalty" program is a farce! I have been a member of Aeroplan since the '80s and have always chosen Air Canada whenever possible. Last year I went to Italy for a family vacation that I had been saving my points for. I had enough points for a "free" flight and I purchased tickets for the other 3 members of my family. My "free" flight cost me $578 for taxes, fees, etc. The taxes, fees, etc. for the 3 other tickets were approximately $250. Keep in mind that the flights for 3 paid tickets plus 1 Aeroplan points ticket were exactly the same aircraft, time, etc. When I asked the Aeroplan representative why such a variance existed in fees for the exact same flight, I was told that is just the way Air Canada does it and it has nothing to do with Aeroplan. Good way to pass the buck.

For round trip Los-Angeles - Narita I've got miles for the return flight, so after several weeks I decided to request the missing miles for the first leg of the trip. Unfortunately, multiple attempts made throughout several days end up with the same "We were unable to completely submit your request. Please wait 24hrs and try resubmitting your request for the items highlighted in red. All other requests were submitted successfully. We apologize for any inconvenience." message. No indication of missing information, nothing... Contacted Aeroplan - they cannot submit request on my behalf, suggested that the issue will be escalated to their technical department. It was two weeks ago, and still - no changes.

Aeroplan is not a loyalty program. The only loyalty is on the part of their members. Member since 1998 and had over 95000 miles expired in May 2019. Didn’t realize until I started booking some flights in July. Appears I was sent an email a month prior to them expiring buried in my junk/promotional mail. Looked up how to have my miles reinstated. Great! I had a hotel stay in April which I received the partner points for which were not yet converted to Aeroplan miles. I believed the hotel account was setup to automatically convert to Aeroplan but it appears it wasn’t occurring. So I converted the points to miles on their system and called Aeroplan and was told there was nothing they could do because it was a conversion and wasn’t completed prior to my expiry date.

I lost all of my rewards points due to them expiring. I had booked a flight prior to them expiring and was told the points would be returned because I booked prior to the expiry date. I have contacted them and have now been told the trip through Air Canada did not qualify even though my Aeroplan number was accepted. Aeroplan said sorry there is nothing they are willing to do. Worst reward program I have ever dealt with.

They erased my 54,000 points because no activities in 12 months, said sent me email reminded me which I have never received, even in my junk mail. After reading the reviews here, it's clear this company has become a crook, you can tell from the way the rep talk. I can't believe this company still in business, I will definitely ban this business on my dealing list forever, including those partners. They need another class law suit to punish.

When I booked my flight from Los Angeles to Toronto, the agent mistake my word to Las Vegas to Toronto. And she repeat flight information to me very quickly. My mistake is I didn't double check the flight information again. When I called back to complained, they told me that they checked my conversation and I said Las Vegas several time during my conversation. This is a lie totally. I may said Los Angeles not very clear, and I may said yes when agent said Vegas several times. But I never said Las Vegas in my conversation even once. I was told this is a final decision, and there is no department in Aeroplan to receive my complaint.

I was not awarded the points for nearly $5000 worth of car rentals, which I booked through the Aeroplan portal via Avis. In addition to providing my Aeroplan number at the time of each booking, I also provided it at the Avis check-in counter. I’ve written to both Avis and Aeroplan on several occasions regarding this issue and neither company will accept responsibility. I’ve been an Aeroplan member for nearly ten years and I have (but will be cancelling) an Aeroplan travel credit card. I’ve always chosen to fly with Air Canada whenever possible in order to accrue frequent flyer miles. Aeroplan, Air Canada and Avis have all lost my loyalty. I’m fed up with their horrific lack of customer service. Adios!

I as well have experienced the same situation as everyone below. Aeroplan just felt that they could take 157,000 points from me. They said like everyone else that they send me an email notifying me (which I never got) and if I did it was sent buried in all of their other promotional stuff. I have been with Aeroplan for 27 years, and just because I am inactive for a year they feel they have the right to, for a better word rob me of points which I have paid for?? Shameful of you. You call yourself a "LOYALTY" program. Where is your loyalty to me after 27 years of supporting you.

How can Aeroplan continue to be a viable business entity! What absolutely poor customer service from, imho, a 360 degree perspective! Ordered product with Costco.ca which included Aeroplan points on April 6/19 and after various conversations w/ Costco.ca Customer Service Dept. and their person 'manually' contacting Aeroplan on June 6/19 to address my Reward Points, nothing has occurred that would result in my getting the points credited to my Aeroplan account.
