We just pointed out an easy way to pick up 1,000 Aeroplan miles through signing up to the Fairmont’s President's Club. How about some more free Aeroplan miles? While the miles aren't significant enough to get a free ticket, they are by no means anything to be sneered at either since it takes about 60 seconds to get them at no cost. Free is free.
How to Earn 150 Free Aeroplan Miles
The promo is open through December 16, 2016. To get the 150 free points, all you need to do is visit the Aeroplan goals page. Once there, enter your travel goals. This may seem somewhat cheesy, but it is straightforward and simple. There is the option to enter three goals although you only need to enter one to benefit from the free points. The goals themselves are easy; you need to choose the destination you wish to visit, who you would want to go with, and why you would be going there. All pretty simple and straight-forward.
Worth It? Yes.
So, even if 150 free miles are not exactly exciting, this offer is very handy for Aeroplan members, since Aeroplan miles expire after one year of inactivity. Taking advantage of this promotion counts as activity on your Aeroplan account, which effectively resets the clock, giving you another 12 months before your miles expire. Which is a great option for members who are collecting miles for a big trip later on, and want to extend their miles just that little bit more.

Any new tricks for those who already did all the above?
This won’t work anymore. Neither will Esso, as it is no longer a partner. But letting Aeroplan points expire is probably not such a big deal — might as well use ’em up before 2020 since they’ll be worthless afterwards anyhow.
Speaking of getting a few points to keep your account active, I just signed up for the Thanks Again account and received 100 points (google 100 Hilton points with Thanks Again) and immediately received them. There is also a 1 question survey you can take for another 100 points. You can then transfer these 10 points at a time to Hilton, American, United, etc and keep you airline accounts active. The exchange only gives you 5 airline miles or 10 Hilton points but this is enough to keep accounts active. I had some American miles about to expire in 15 days, and this will keep them active.
I did it as soon as I read the blog (a few days ago) but nothing has posted. Hope it does.
They give me only 50. I need to call them.
I just did it. Hope to get the miles. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks! Really wish to see SPG have something like this every now and then.
That was fast! Saves me having to transfer Amex membership rewards across each year now
Thanks. I hope miles are posted.
miles posted very quickly
Worked as advertised in terms of going through with it, now just need to wait and see if the miles post.
Thanks!
I just did this and it was super easy! I’m glad I could keep my points from expiring.
Better than nothing. Free miles ftw.
Thanks for sharing, we all like free points / miles!
Done. For me, my wife, and daughter. Thanks.
Thanks, close to expiry and now extended.
This worked like a charm!
How long does it take for them to post? I did this yesterday and have not seen the points yet
It isn’t listed on the site — based on previous promos I would guess 6-8 weeks.
Thank you! This is an easy way to keep my account active.
