⚠️ On Nov 30, 2026 the standard 18-month-inactivity expiration policy returns. Any single earning or redeeming transaction (Air Canada / Star Alliance flights, hotel & car partner bookings, eStore or retail purchases, redemptions, transfers, conversions, donations) resets the clock. Balances with no qualifying activity expire on Nov 30 — the clock does NOT start that day, so make a qualifying transaction beforehand. ✅ Exempt: primary TD, Amex or CIBC Aeroplan cardholders, anyone with Aeroplan Elite Status, and members under 18. Air Canada emails a warning up to 60 days out, and expired points can be reinstated within 6 months. Verify on your account → Activity.
