Unlock Elite Status Across Programs
Scott O’Leary, Vice President, Loyalty and Product at Air Canada comments:
We’re thrilled to bring the best of Aeroplan and Marriott Bonvoy together for our members […] whether it’s topping up the points needed for a reward, or enjoying the benefits of Elite status, there’s a lot to be excited about.
Marriott Bonvoy and Aeroplan members can now enjoy complimentary status matches across programs. Aeroplan’s 50K, 75K and Super Elite members will receive Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status, unlocking benefits such as late checkout, room upgrades and bonus points on stays. Meanwhile, Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite members are awarded Aeroplan’s 25K status, offering perks like priority check-in and boarding, complimentary checked bags and preferred seating for extra comfort. To activate and unlock these exclusive benefits, members simply need to link their Marriott Bonvoy and Aeroplan accounts.
Earn and Transfer Points
This partnership introduces a new flexible two-way points transfer system, offering travellers more freedom when using their loyalty points. Aeroplan Elite Status members can convert their Aeroplan points to Marriott Bonvoy points on a 1:1 basis, allowing them to explore wider options for stays within Marriott’s expansive network.
This complements the existing feature where Marriott Bonvoy points can be converted into Aeroplan points on a 3:1 basis, offering members access to flights and rewards through Air Canada’s network. This dual transfer ultimately offers greater flexibility to loyal clients and provides a customisable way for travellers to explore new destinations and hotels with ease.
Elevated Travel Awaits

David Flueck, Marriott International’s Senior Vice President of Loyalty, Cards and Enterprise Partnerships expresses this enthusiasm:
Marriott Bonvoy members love to passionately explore cultures around the world, and together with Aeroplan, we are making aspirational destinations and incredible travel experiences more attainable and enjoyable for our members […] whether it is through a preferred airline partner like Aeroplan or our rapidly growing portfolio of global properties across more than 30 brands, we are focused on delivering more value, benefits and travel experiences for our members.
