How to link Aeroplan and Uber Canada accounts?

The key to earning opportunities mentioned above is to link your accounts. Here’s how you go about it;

Take Away

Aeroplan continues to add value and earning opportunities for Canadians. As a household that engages significantly with Uber services, we are excited about the prospect of more earnings with the enhanced partnership. My preferred credit card for Uber expenses is the Scotiabank Amex Gold (3x Scene+ points on rideshare), and Amex Cobalt (2x Membership Rewards on rideshare)
