No. No need for the physical card. Just tell the cashier you need to manually enter the Aeroplan number. The cashier actually told me to enter the number myself.
I did that back in May. Actually it was paid at the counter as my BIL never pays at the pump due to theft issues. You do NOT need a physical card. You can manually enter the number on the payment keypad and it would come back as Approved - this a sign of the entry is valid. After that my BIL used his CC to pay for the gas. It WORKED in late May. I will see if it still works first week of October. |

If you only need a one-time keep alive, PM me your aeroplan number and I will buy $3 in fuel at Esso and manually key your number into the terminal. You will earn one aeroplan and extend the expiration by a year.

What a nice thing to do.
Can people out of Canada download/install/use Carrot? Those points post reasonable quickly, I mean, better than 6-8 weeks. |

has anyone used the carrot app recently to extend the expiration of Aeroplan miles?
https://www.carrotrewards.ca/en/ is it still working as it should - with miles posting within 5 business days to account? |
Yes, I use it regularly. Less quizzes recently, though. Miles post within a few days. |
Another option, but may be targeted though: Get anywhere from 100-1000 Aeroplan miles buy opting into receiving txt messages on your phone. Can opt out anytime. I received 100 and posted into my account the next day. Text “join” to 27767 but be sure to add your mobile number to your Aeroplan profile first. |

You get 1 if you hit yours steps , and it increases if you do it every day... but then they raise your goal until it’s insanely high. https://www.aeroplan.com/SMS.do [/QUOTE] Oh, good deal! Too bad it doesnt recognize bc apparently I need to SMS within Canada to 27767 for it to work... Or maybe bc I SMS 2 min after I added my mobile number to Aeroplan profile? Anybody manage to get it to work by SMSing from US? |
No luck. I don't think it is possible for one short code to handle traffic from both the US and Canada.

I guess my last AMEX transfer and Aeroplan redemption was in Jan.2018, so ALL my Aeroplan miles expired on Jan.31. I am heartbroken. Any way I can get them back?

So, what's the best way at this point for someone in the US to earn Aeroplan miles to keep existing miles from expiring?
Carrot Rewards is long gone (and frankly last time I tired it was _way_ more work than it was worth). I personally found connecting my my infrequent rental car bookings to my Aeroplan account easiest. However, now since I can't travel that's not happening :( So, I figured I'd use the shopping portal, but I can't find anyone that will ship anything I actually want to the US. And I only find that out after getting to "check out". So! Anyone have any suggestions of stores that are a available through the shopping portal that deliver online or will ship to the us? (Note, apple seemed an obvious option, but CA denomination gift cards can only be used in CA). Or other clever ways? |
Donate 1000 miles.
This might be considered gaming and be against the terms, but book a flight and cancel within 24 hours for free. |

...... Or other clever ways? I assume you are just asking about the miles in your Aeroplan account expiring due to lack of any activity? There were a couple of recent Aeroplan promos. One allowed you to buy miles and there was a bonus for the purchase. It was heavily promoted. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-...th-2020-a.html While that ended May 15, Aeroplan does allow you to buy some miles. May not be the most cost efficient way to do it comapred to a purchase or car rental, but at least it will post activity to your account. There was this thread as well https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-...id-19-a-2.html where I posted

I just extended the Aeroplan accounts of a couple of family members who are not FFs.
They had been using Esso for years and like many others, when that partnership disappeared, there really weren't any others that suited them including purchases of toasters from Aeroplan. :D For one of them, a purchase for Home Hardware worked well. However, the easiest thing was to buy 1000 miles (getting the 65% bonus) for $30 plus tax. Miles posted immediately and new expiry date appeared as well. And here is the link to Aeroplan if you want to buy miles: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...99d922ef4f.png https://www.aeroplan.com/buy-gift-miles.do#/ Along with @canadiancow's suggestion of donating miles, this is another one. |
