Savvy Aeroplan® members can earn up to 15,000 Aeroplan® Miles by booking with Air Canada Vacations' new Preferred Resorts

TORONTO, Aug. 6, 2014 /CNW/ - Air Canada Vacations has launched a new and exclusive Preferred Resorts program, where from now until November 30^th, 2014, Aeroplan® members who book with Preferred Resorts can receive either 5,000 or 2,500 Bonus Aeroplan® Miles per booking, in addition to the 1,000s of miles earned with every flight on their Air Canada Vacations package. TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite credit card holders have the opportunity to earn even more miles, with 1 Aeroplan® Mile earned per $1 spent.

By combining Bonus Aeroplan® Miles with the miles earned on the flight, plus top up miles using TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite, savvy travellers can bank up to 15,000 miles – enough to redeem towards a return flight to anywhere in Canada or continental U.S.A.

"We at Air Canada Vacations have many unique advantages; we have service to more destinations and convenient connector flights from 66 Canadian cities, more than any other Canadian tour operator.
