If you pre-registered for the Aeroplan credit card so you could score more bonus points and e-upgrades when you applied ( as described below) …you have more time to apply!
According to Frequent Miler, the application date has been extended from 2/15/22 to 3/31/22. Check out this post where we drill down on the Aeroplan Credit Card and see if it makes sense for your wallet.
Waitlist is closed
A couple months back we learned that Chase and Air Canada were releasing a new credit card. To promote that card they created a waitlist – if you added your name to it you would get a bonus 10k points on whatever the new card’s initial offer would be. They just sweetened that waitlist with 10 eUpgrade Credits. Here’s how it works
- Anyone who is already on the waitlist – you don’t need to do anything and you’ll get an extra 10k bonus points + 10 eUpgrade Credits
- The waitlist is closing to anyone else on 11/8/2021
- You need to sign up by this date
- You must apply and be approved for the new card by 2/15/22 to get the extra 10k and 10 eUpgrades
A couple of the eUpgrade charts – if these will be the only eUpgrades you’ll earn…you’ll want to focus on upgrading flights within North America. If you’re an Air Canada elite and have a stack of these…it may help you get enough to upgrade to business internationally.

10k points. Think they forgot they are not in Canada
10k extra on top of whatever the bonus ends up being
Only 10,000 points and it’s taking a spot of your 5 card limit? am I missing something here?
Thanks
I don’t believe you’re obliged to get the card if you add your name to the list so there would be time to see what the offer will be, but by adding your name to it you qualify for an additional 10k points. So if public is 80k, you’d get 90k, etc
