Get back to your “happy place” with Amex Canada and Aeroplan

Where are your happy places? Do you crave a hike, a hotel, or a beachside resort? No matter what you’re looking for, or what kind of trip brightens your day, it’s a great time to start thinking about that dream vacation, and American Express Canada provides some serious inspiration.

Working with beloved Canadian actor, comedian, and producer Will Arnett, American Express is spotlighting its redesigned suite of American Express Aeroplan Cards to inspire Canadians to get back to their happy places. Whether Canadians are travelling now or daydreaming about their next getaway, the Cards offer unique value and travel benefits to enhance every step of the travel journey.

“After 18 months of TV binges and many painfully awkward video calls, I want nothing more than to begin creating travel memories again”, said Arnett. “I love the fact that with the American Express Aeroplan Cards, everyday spending like work-from-home takeout lunches can help you rack up points to put towards your next adventure.”

There really is nothing as inspiring as a trip and new research speaks for itself. According to a recent study from Amex, 85 per cent of Canadians say travel makes them happy and brings them joy, and 83 per cent agree sharing travel experiences with friends and family–whether it’s a weekend getaway or a dream vacation–has a positive impact on their wellness. And while the pandemic has slowed travel for Canadians, research shows that even reminiscing about past travel, or planning a future trip, can be a major mood boost. In fact, 86 per cent of Canadians say memories of past travel experiences boosts their happiness, and 80 per cent say the anticipation of travelling uplifts their mood.

Amex has been helping its Cardmembers elevate their travel experiences for many years, and since Canadians love to travel so much, they’ve redesigned their American Express Aeroplan Cards to help Cardmembers get even closer to their next trip.

American Express Aeroplan Cardmembers can earn on everyday spending like dining and food delivery and earn points to put towards their future travel plans. And, when it’s time for a much anticipated trip, select Amex Aeroplan Cards provide an elevated travel experience through Air Canada travel benefits like a Free First Checked Bag and access to the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge^TM for some added relaxation before a flight.
