Aeroplan to match member donations during 'Match Weeks'

Aeroplan has announced that it will match all miles donated by members to each of its 10 Aeroplan member donation program charitable partners as part of the 2017 ‘Aeroplan Match Weeks.’ Miles will be matched on a one-for-one basis up to 500,000 Aeroplan Miles for each partner organization.

“Since we launched Miles Match Weeks in 2010, Aeroplan and its members have donated an incredible 91 million miles to our charitable partners,” said John Boynton, chief marketing officer, Aeroplan. “This is such an outstanding measure of the generosity and support of our members. Aeroplan Mile donations have the power to change the lives of people in communities in Canada and across the world and we’re thrilled to share in what is truly important to members and to help make a lasting impact.”

The organizations use Aeroplan Mile donations to offset travel costs including flights, hotel accommodation and car rentals for projects they work on in Canada and around the globe.
