These new Milestone Benefits will replace our current
Select Benefits, Threshold Gifts, Threshold eUpgrades and Priority Reward
benefit structures, creating a unified path for members to track progress and unlock additional perks throughout the year.
As today, Core Benefits such as Priority Check-in, Priority Boarding and Maple Leaf Lounge access will be awarded upon status qualification, and for the duration of status validity. eUpgrade credits will continue to be awarded as a Core
Benefit, however the amount will differ depending on Elite Status.
- Aeroplan 25K: 5 eUpgrade credits
- Aeroplan 35K: 10 eUpgrade credits
- Aeroplan 50K: 15 eUpgrade credits
- Aeroplan 75K: 20 eUpgrade credits
- Aeroplan Super Elite: 30 eUpgrade credits
I haven't really been paying attention to the benefits side of the program changes and just realized that as a 75K member, I now start the year with 20 instead of 55 (20 core + 35 select) eUpgrade credits. I knew they significantly raised the qualification requirements, but I didn't realize they gutted the benefit side so much at the same time.
