Aeroplan & Starbucks Sip-Tember: Weekly Bonuses + Win 100,000 Points

Aeroplan and Starbucks are giving linked members a reason to pay a little more attention to their coffee runs this September.

From September 1–28, 2026, Sip-Tember to Remember has a different offer each week, earning bonus Aeroplan points or Starbucks Stars and entries for a chance to win 100,000 Aeroplan points. Complete all four weeks, and you’ll also get an extra 100 Aeroplan points.

The weekly bonuses themselves are modest. If you’re already a Starbucks regular, though, they’re easy enough to collect, and the chance at 100,000 Aeroplan points makes the promotion considerably more interesting.

There’s no registration required, but you’ll need to have your Aeroplan and Starbucks Rewards accounts linked to participate.

Four Weeks of Aeroplan and Starbucks Offers

Sip-Tember is divided into four weekly offers:

Is Sip-Tember Worth It?

If you’re already going to Starbucks, Weeks 1–3 are easy wins. I certainly wouldn’t make a special trip for 15 Aeroplan points, but there’s no reason to leave the points and contest entries on the table for purchases you were going to make anyway.

Week 4 is the only part that requires some thought.

Aeroplan normally converts to Starbucks at 400 Aeroplan points = 100 Stars. As we covered in our Starbucks Rewards guide, 100 Stars can be worth up to $6. We value 400 Aeroplan points at around $8, so it’s generally better to keep the Aeroplan points.

With the 25% bonus, however, 400 Aeroplan points becomes 125 Stars, potentially worth up to $7.50. And if you’ve completed Weeks 1-3, that minimum 400-point conversion completes the fourth required activity and unlocks the 100 Aeroplan-point bonus.

Complete all 4 weeks to earn a bonus 100 Aeroplan points

That makes the math much more reasonable. If I’d already completed the first three weeks, I’d convert the minimum 400 Aeroplan points and call it a day.

Win 100,000 Aeroplan Points

There’s also a contest running alongside Sip-Tember. Each qualifying weekly activity earns an entry for a chance to win 100,000 Aeroplan points. Your chances of winning are obviously low, but a 100,000-point prize at least brings some fun to what would otherwise be a fairly modest promotion.

Since you can complete each of the first three offers twice, you can earn two entries per week. Week 4 offers one entry, bringing the maximum to seven across the promotion.

There’s also a no-purchase entry method, although I believe it exists mostly for compliance reasons: mail your required personal details to the contest administrator and specify which week you’re entering. Each request earns the maximum entries available that week—two for Weeks 1–3 or one for Week 4—but no Aeroplan points or Starbucks Stars.

The full mailing instructions and weekly deadlines are available in the official contest rules.

Make Sure Your Starbucks and Aeroplan Accounts Are Linked

As you’d expect from an Aeroplan-Starbucks promotion, you’ll need to link your Aeroplan and Starbucks Rewards accounts before completing the offers.

For Starbucks purchases, make sure you use or scan your Starbucks Rewards app before checkout so the purchase tracks to your linked account.

There’s also a much better bonus available if you don’t already have a Starbucks Rewards account. Create a Starbucks Rewards account, link it to Aeroplan, and you’ll earn 500 bonus Aeroplan points after your first purchase within seven days.

Remember to link your Aeroplan and Starbucks accounts

Aeroplan says bonus points and Stars can take up to eight weeks to post.

Takeaway

Sip-Tember isn’t worth changing your Starbucks habits over, but if you’re already stopping for coffee, the first three weeks are easy opportunities to pick up a few extra Aeroplan points and contest entries.

Week 4 requires a bit more thought. The 25% bonus makes converting Aeroplan points to Starbucks Stars much more reasonable than usual, and completing it also unlocks the 100-point bonus if you’ve done the other three weeks.

I’d participate, but I wouldn’t buy extra coffee or convert more Aeroplan points than necessary just to maximize the promotion.
