It’s not you, it’s Amex.

If you’ve tried transferring your American Express Membership Rewards to Air Canada’s Aeroplan program in the last few days, you’ve gotten this message:

american express to air canada aeroplan transfers not working

So even by phone, you’re out of luck at the moment.

There’s nothing to be alarmed about – unless you needed to actually make a transfer in the short term. The relationship is in tact, but the link to transfer is having technical issues.

The issue was first identified by Amex on September 12th and they are still working to resolve it. No timeframe could be given for restoration and there is no workaround.

But at least you know it’s not just your account and they are well aware of the issue.

Dave Grossman
I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! Several years ago, I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born. Since then, I've written my book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points (2nd Edition) - (author profile), give seminars on miles and points all over the world, and occasionally write for publications such as Frommer's and Forbes Advisor.
