Using Aeroplan at Uniprix

I posted the other day about how Aeroplan is now partnered with Uniprix to give you one Aeroplan mile for every dollar spent.

So I went by yesterday to try it out.

I did have to ask if they would take Aeroplan, the cashier did not offer. But when I did ask it was no problem, they simply scanned the back of the card. As I paid the bill with a MBNA SPG Mastercard, I also managed to collect Starwoods points for the same purchase.

If I had used an CIBC Aerogold visa I could have collected 1.5 points per dollar spent on the card and the extra one point per dollar from the Aeroplan card. So for 2.5 points for each dollar you spend- this can really help towards your next trip.

I think this is one of Aeroplan’s better partnerships because everybody needs to buy things at the pharmacy.

Now I just need to wait and see how long it takes the miles to be credited to my account.
