Say you want to rollover your e-upgrades expiring on Feb 28, 2021. Do you need to have a premium aeroplan card on Feb 28, 2021, or do you need it on Dec 31, 2020 ? Might be worth timing the credit card application to save my e-upgrade credits.
My hunch is that you’d need to have the card by February 28th, as that is when the benefit year ends. I would give it a safe window of a couple of weeks though to avoid any disappointment.
Thanks T.J. !
Looks like eupgrades isn’t working properly for Aeroplan reward bookings 😕
TJ, just wanted to confirm, I earned P25k status this year and hold the TD AP Biz, will my 20 eUpgrades for this year carry forward into next year giving me a total of 40?
You will need to get a premium credit card for your eUps to rollover. For TD, you’d need the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege. Or, you could look at the CIBC Aeroplan Visa Infinite Privilege or the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card. If you think you can justify the higher annual fee with eUp rollover and the (currently unknown) signup bonus, it’s definitely something to consider 🙂
For American Express Reserve Card eUpgrades rollover – do we have to request it or rollover will be done automatically?
It will happen automatically some time in March.
Thank you.
Thanks TJ.
Thanks TJ, I should have spotted the distinction between the entry, core, premium and business cards.
Hmm..interesting
So if I understood the original question and the response back I currently have the AMEX Aeroplan Platinum card which will become the AMEX Express Aeroplan Reserve card after Nov 8(I believe). With my 25k status due to the Travel at Home promotion I will be able to carry over my unused eUpgrades that expire Feb 2021 to beyond that. That is handy for any traveling I do in 2021.
Hi Alex. Since the American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card will succeed the Aeroplan Platinum Card, you will be able to rollover up to 50 eUps to the next year. With the cheap fares these days, you should be able to put them to good use (as long as it’s safe and possible to travel).
this may be a really dumb question, but how do you find out what your booking class is? I don’t think they are on the e-tickets and I’m not sure I have seen them when booking on-line.
Hi Don! If you already have a booking, you can find your booking class by going to “Manage my Booking” and then clicking on “Details.” There, you will see “Cabin type – (X)” where your exact fare is. If you are shopping for fares on the AC website, once you have selected a flight and a fare, you can click on “Details” and it will show your cabin type. I hope this helps!
