The Deal: Bell x Aeroplan Partnership
Bell has teamed up with Aeroplan, Air Canada’s loyalty program, to offer free in-flight Wi-Fi to Aeroplan members, and that is just the beginning. The real gold is in the Aeroplan points you can earn by activating new Bell services. Here is the breakdown:
Earn Points With Bell Services
| Service Activated | Points Earned | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Bring Your Own Phone | 30,000 pts | Allocated over 18 months |
| Buy a New Phone (2-year plan) | 20,000 pts | Given after 60 days |
| Internet + TV Bundle | 40,000 pts | Allocated over 12 months |
| Internet Only | 25,000 pts | Allocated over 12 months |
Yes, you read that right you can earn up to 70,000 Aeroplan points when you combine a new mobile phone activation with a home service like internet and TV.
What Can You Get with 70,000 Points?
To put it into perspective:
- Toronto to Frankfurt (Business Class on Lufthansa):
- 70,000 points versus about $7,000 cash
- Montreal to Zurich (Business Class on Swiss Airlines):
- 60,000 points versus about $8,000 cash
- Vancouver to Singapore or Tokyo (Business Class on Singapore Airlines):
- 70,000 points versus about $10,000 cash
And if you prefer economy:
- Toronto to Europe (Round Trip): 60,000 points
- One-way for as little as 30,000 points
How and When You Get the Points
You do not receive the points all at once they are allocated over time depending on the service:
- BYOD Plan (30,000 pts):
- 6,000 pts after 60 days
- 8,000 pts every 6 months up to 18 months
- SmartPay Phone Plan (20,000 pts):
- 100% awarded after 60 days
- Internet + TV Bundle (40,000 pts):
- 10,000 pts after 60 days
- 15,000 pts at 6 months
- 15,000 pts at 12 months
- Internet Only (25,000 pts):
- 5,000 pts after 60 days
- 10,000 pts at 6 months
- 10,000 pts at 12 months
So yes, there is some waiting involved, but if you were already planning to switch providers, this could literally earn you a flight across the world in business class.
