Welcome to the Aurora Rewards program, designed for you, the Seriously Northern traveller. Whether you’re travelling on company time or your own, you can earn points on flights booked with Canadian North* or with transactions made by you with Authorized Aurora Rewards Partners. These points can be redeemed for travel to the destination of your choice in our network, or, for gift cards and merchandise.

We are also pleased to offer exclusive perks and privileges to our most frequent fliers through our Aurora Concierge program. These benefits are designed to make travelling easier and more rewarding. Our first tier starts at only 12 Qualifying Segments**, or 12,000 Qualifying Points**. So sign-up and start flying to earn seriously rewarding benefits. You can view the latest program information online at www.AuroraRewards.com.

As an Aurora Rewards member, you earn points when you book with Canadian North. Points are earned on scheduled flights booked with Canadian North (not applicable on charter flights). Points earned will be credited to your account within 3-4 weeks after the completion of the flight segment. For the most current information on the amount points you can earn with Canadian North, please visit aurorarewards.com. The amount of points earned is subject to change from time to time at the discretion of Canadian North.

Provide your Aurora Rewards number at the time of booking or check-in for each flight. The name on the reservation must match the name on the Aurora Rewards account for points to be credited.

Qualifying Points are calculated based on the distance flown, the fare paid and the level of membership achieved within the Aurora Rewards program.

Members will earn Aurora Rewards points based on the miles flown for non-stop or direct flights (segments) based on the distance between the origin and the destination, multiplied by the applicable fare class calculation from the booking code, as indicated on your ticket. A Qualifying Segment is defined as a single flight number starting in one community/city and ending in another, not including stops enroute.

A minimum mileage of 500 will be used to calculate the percentage of points earned according to the booking code, when travel is less than 500 miles.

On connecting flights that require a change of plane and flight number, points credited will be calculated based upon the distance from origin to destination for each segment of the trip. Canadian North reserves the right to limit credit for an itinerary to the flight segments listed on your ticket.

Upon request at the time of enrollment, points will also be awarded for travel flown up to 30 days prior to enrollment.

Aurora Reward Points are earned on scheduled flights booked with Canadian North. Charter flights are not eligible.

The following flight numbers are eligible for the collection of Aurora Rewards Points provided they are booked in an Eligible Fare –

• 100-149
• 160-199
• 200-299
• 400-499
• 600-699
• 800-899
• 1100-1199
• 1200-1299
• 4000-4999
• 8000-8999

Points will be earned by the fare type/booking code in respect of Eligible Fares (as stated below), in the following manner:

Points will be credited only for travel flown by the Aurora Reward member on scheduled service flights booked with Canadian North. Charter flights are not eligible for point accumulation. Points are credited to the Aurora Rewards account of the traveller, regardless of who pays for the ticket. Points from one account cannot be pooled or combined with the points of another individual's account. Each member must earn his/her own points.

Points will not be given for the following:

• Refunded, void or unused tickets, including unused nonrefundable tickets.
• Airline employees, travel agents, tour conductors, and/or other persons travelling on a non-revenue basis or on travel industry/cargo customer discounted fares.
• Infants (under age two) travelling without paying an applicable fare. (Points will be credited to the accounts of infants travelling on a ticket purchased at the applicable fare).
• Free tickets of any kind, including without limitation Aurora Rewards Award tickets, Aeroplan Award tickets, AIR MILES Award tickets, prize winner tickets, or tickets obtained as a result of a Canadian North sponsorship agreement.
• Tickets purchased to carry excess baggage such as musical instruments and pets or to provide extra space for the primary passenger.
• Canadian North charter flights.
• Tickets issued at fares subject to rules that exclude the earning of points for the fare. Fares excluded from earning points can change without notice. You should always check with Canadian North, the issuing carrier, or your travel agent at the time of booking to ensure that the fare you are purchasing qualifies for points.

As an Aurora Rewards member, you may have the opportunity to earn Aurora Rewards points through qualifying transactions made with companies or organizations that are authorized Aurora Rewards Program Partners. We will publish details about these opportunities on the Aurora Rewards website at aurorarewards.com/offers. You must identify yourself as an Aurora Rewards member and provide your Aurora Rewards membership number to the Partner at the time of the transaction. We will credit your member account with the Aurora Rewards points you earn if the Partner is in good standing with us, and only after the Partner notifies us to do so. Points earned through qualifying transactions completed with an authorized Program Partner may take up to 8 weeks to be credited to a member account. We are not responsible if a Partner delays or fails to notify us or for any other delay in recording points in your account. Queries regarding missing points resulting from Partner transactions must be directed to the Partner for resolution. We may refuse to record or honour points in your account, or if already recorded, we may cancel them, if we cannot confirm that they were properly issued or obtained. We may also cancel recorded points if the issuing Partner does not pay amounts owing to us or tells us to cancel the points (for example, because you returned or didn't pay for products or services for which the points were issued). Partners will determine the conditions under which they will issue points and may change those conditions at any time and without notice. Some Partner locations may not participate in the Program. Any dispute must be settled between you and the Partner. Aurora Rewards points earned through Partner transactions will not count towards Aurora Concierge status. Authorized Partner agreements are subject to change and may be terminated at any time without notice.

The Aurora Rewards Program also offers you the opportunity to earn points in Aurora Rewards and miles in Aeroplan on the same flights. In order to accumulate Aeroplan Points, you must be enrolled as an Aurora Rewards member as well as an Aeroplan Member and add your Aeroplan Number to your Aurora Rewards profile. We will credit points for Aurora Rewards and miles for Aeroplan when you enroll in Aurora Rewards and provide your Aeroplan Member Number in your profile prior to completing any flight activity.

The awarding of Aeroplan Points is calculated in a different manner than Aurora Rewards. For details on Aeroplan Points earned when travelling on Canadian North flights, please visit: www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/aeroplan.html#.

Any missing activity on your Aeroplan account must be addressed with Aeroplan.

The awarding of Aeroplan Points is subject to change or termination at any time at the discretion of Canadian North or Aeroplan, without prior written notice.

Under the Aurora Rewards expiration policy, points will expire two years (24 months) after the month they were earned if there has been no other earning activity within those two years.

Canadian North reserves the right to inactivate or close an account and/or forfeit all earned points under the following circumstances:

• Fraudulent activity occurs
• Member requests an account closure
• Member is deceased
• Member does not respond to repeated communication attempts regarding the status of his/her account.

You are responsible for verifying that points for qualifying activity is credited to your account. All account discrepancies must be reported in writing within twelve months of the date of the flight activity. Canadian North is not responsible for the delivery of incoming correspondence. Verbal notification is not accepted. You should maintain copies of ticket receipts and boarding passes for your records until proper credit appears in your Aurora Rewards online activity page.

If points for a qualifying Canadian North flight or qualifying partner activity are not recorded on your statement within 30 days, please follow these procedures:

For Canadian North activity, you may request points to be credited online at  aurorarewards.com/missingpoints.php. You may also send a copy of your airline ticket/ticket receipt and boarding pass(es) to:

Canadian North, its owners and its program partners reserve the right to terminate or change program rules, benefits, regulations, travel awards, fees, point award levels, and special offers at any time without notice. This means that Canadian North may initiate changes, for instance, impacting partner affiliations, rules for earning point credit, continued availability of awards, award redemption levels, point expiry terms, or adding blackout dates. Canadian North may also limit the seats available for award travel to any or all destinations (including, but not limited to, allocating no award seats on certain flights). Such changes to Canadian North's Aurora Rewards program may include modifications that (i) govern point/mileage credits or other benefits earned on or after the date of change, (ii) change the value of already accumulated points credits or other benefits or (iii) govern points credits or other benefits earned on or after the date of change and change the value of already accumulated points credits, including but not limited to point expiry dates. Furthermore, Canadian North reserves the right to terminate the Canadian North Aurora Rewards program with six months' notice (at which point any unutilized points or benefits shall be forfeited, without compensation). Unless otherwise stated, the terms and conditions of the Aurora Rewards program listed on this Terms and Conditions shall take precedence over the provisions noted on the summary contained on any website page.

Canadian North reserves the right to terminate your membership in the Aurora Rewards program at any time if you violate the program rules, any term or condition of Canadian North's contract of carriage, fare rules, or any other Canadian North rule and regulation that applies to your travel. Termination of your membership will result in a loss of all accumulated points in your account, the cancellation of any unused awards or prizes, and the loss of all other Aurora Rewards benefits. Terminated members are not eligible to participate in any aspect of the program. In lieu of termination, Canadian North may at its sole discretion deduct points from your account, but permit you to continue participating in the program.

Members whose accounts have been terminated for any reason may not reopen new accounts.
