Air Canada has launched a new program for travel agents to reward them for their support and for taking care their customers and Air Canada’s customers each and every day.
Air Canada & Me – the airline’s first-ever travel agent incentive program designed for Canadian travel agents – is a free program that rewards individual travel agents for choosing to book their customers on AC Connex – the carrier’s next generation direct booking platform, using Aeroplan points as a key driver of the program.
Mark Galardo, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer and President, Cargo, said that: “Travel agents play a remarkable role in supporting the travel experience, uniting people day-in and day-out through their knowledge, expertise, and unwavering dedication. With their trust and dedication, together, we unlock countless possibilities for our shared customers from coast-to-coast across North America and around the world.”
And Galardo added: “Offering this program to travel agents reflects our commitment to travel professionals and our deep appreciation for the incredible work that they do every day.”
Lisa Pierce, Vice President of Global Sales and Air Canada Vacations, explained that: “Through our new Air Canada & Me program, we want to sincerely thank travel agents for their commitment — recognizing and rewarding their loyalty so they can enjoy all the exceptional benefits of the Aeroplan program.”
Promotional multipliers and special promotions add to additional token earnings that they can take advantage of, getting agents even closer to redemption.
To keep the appreciation going, we’re awarding all agents who sign up before Oct. 31 a headstart on earning with 500 bonus tokens plus a 5X tokens bonus on all flights to Europe.”*
As for how it works:
Tokens are rewarded at a rate of $1 booked and flown = 1 Token. Once agents have accumulated enough tokens, they can simply convert to Aeroplan points at a rate of 10 Tokens per point.
Once points are transferred into agents’ Aeroplan account, they can redeem for a wide variety of benefits, such as:
Redemptions on flights on Air Canada to our 180+ global destinations starting at as little as 6,000 points, as well as on 45+ partner airlines, allowing them to reach over 1,300 destinations worldwide,
The Aeroplan eStore, offering 2,000+ gift cards and merchandise options from brands like Apple, Dyson, Amazon and more starting at 3,200 points.
Redemptions for car rentals, upgrades, hotels, and other travel perks
Air Canada & Me is designed for all travel agents, regardless of their affiliations (IATA, TIDS), and open to Canadian travel agents who are Aeroplan members – they can join the incentive program for free.
For those who are not an Aeroplan member, that’s no problem, as agents can also join for free in minutes at www.aircanada.com/Aeroplan.
