Earning Aeroplan elite status is the key to earning eUpgrades. You can achieve elite status by crediting flights to the Aeroplan program<\/a>, earning 100,000 Aeroplan points in a calendar year through the program's “Everyday Status Qualification,” or picking up the Aeroplan\u00ae<\/sup> Credit Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n And after you earn any tier of elite status, you'll collect 20 eUpgrades. You can rack up additional credits from eligible Flight Pass activity, choosing them through Select Benefits, and earning Threshold Rewards.<\/p>\n Traditionally, eUpgrades carried an expiry date that depended on when you earned them. But to alleviate confusion, Air Canada has changed the validity of eUpgrades<\/a>. From July 1, 2024, eUpgrades are valid for 12 months from the date they were earned. The validity of eUpgrades you earn before July 1 won't change.<\/p>\n Additionally, the eUpgrade rollover benefit will be replaced by extended eUpgrade validity. In other words, if you have a premium Aeroplan credit card, your eUpgrades will expire if not redeemed after 24 months from date of issue. “Premium” Aeroplan cards include:<\/p>\n And lastly, Aeroplan will honor a one-time rollover for premium card holders. Up to 50 eUpgrade credits earned through June 30, 2024 will be rolled over into 2025 and feature a new expiry date of January 15, 2026.<\/p>\n Related: Do Air Canada Aeroplan Points Expire?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If you've got Aeroplan elite status, Air Canada simplified the expiry policy for eUpgrade certificates.
