It's been done before

Volvo Canada has just signed a deal with Aeroplan where the automaker will offer Aeroplan miles to Canadians who test-drive, buy or lease a Volvo between January 1 and March 31, 2009.

2009 Volvo XC90


Aeroplan members who test drive a 2009 Volvo model during this period will receive a certificate for 250 Aeroplan miles. As for buyers and leaseholders of new Volvo vehicles delivered before April 25, 2009, they will receive a certificate worth between 15,000 and 75,000 Aeroplan miles depending on the model:

C30, S40 or V50: 15,000 miles
S60, V70 or XC70: 25,000 miles
XC90: 40,000 miles
S80: 60,000 miles
C70: 75,000 miles

With a round trip to Europe costing 60,000 Aeroplan miles, Volvo is certainly offering an exciting incentive. There are over four million Aeroplan members in Canada, and these members share with Volvo clients a distinct love of travel and premium European vehicles

What I'm saying is that Aeroplan had success with these car dealership promotions since 2007. The dealers were primed, so to speak. I thought then when Futura came along in 2011 starting with TADA, that it would be easier to sign-up auto dealers. Seemed to go well in 2011, but this year it's sputtering out.   I was surprised with the maximum of 15,000 reward points which can ...more
