Aeroplan & Club Avolta forge loyalty program partnership in North America

Aeroplan and Club Avolta are collaborating to give members more ways to earn points throughout their travel journey.

Aeroplan Members who link their Aeroplan and Club Avolta accounts through the Club Avolta app will now be able to earn points on eligible purchases at more than 900 Avolta airport and travel retail locations.

Through the partnership, members will also earn one Aeroplan point for every C$2 spent on eligible purchases in-store at participating locations operated by Avolta’s Hudson and Dufry, and when pre-ordering through Avolta’s Reserve & Collect online service and via the company’s Club Avolta app.

Later this year, the partnership will expand to Avolta’s HMSHost dining locations, allowing members to earn on eligible food and beverage purchases at casual dining restaurants, quick-service outlets, bars, and Grab & Go locations.

Once fully expanded, the partnership will include nearly 1,900 participating airport retail and food and beverage outlets across North America. 

Travellers who link their Aeroplan and Club Avolta accounts can also unlock access to offers, rewards, and cross-promotions across Air Canada’s global network and at Avolta’s duty-free, convenience, and participating specialty retail outlets.

Participating locations include major Canadian airports such as:

• Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)
• Vancouver International Airport (YVR)
• Calgary International Airport (YYC)
• Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ)

Participating outlets also include major U.S. airports such as Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Chicago O’Hare (ORD).

“Travel starts well before the boarding gate, and we want to make more of it rewarding for our members,” said Scott O’Leary, vice president, loyalty and product at Air Canada, in a press release.

“Our partnership with Avolta brings Aeroplan into moments that are already part of how people travel –grabbing a bite before their flight, picking up a duty-free deal – creating more ways for our members to earn across the entire trip.”
