ACV introduces new agent rewards program

Air Canada Vacations (ACV) has launched a new rewards program for travel agents, ACV & Me Select. The new program provides agents with exclusive access to trips, complementary flights and more. Agents can enjoy unique privileges at three distinct levels when they qualify in one of the ACV & Me Select categories of Gold, Silver or Bronze, for bookings made from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2013: !!! Gold Select – Book 301+ passengers per year and receive: Four complimentary seats on AC1700/1800/1900 series flights plus free seat selection; Two complimentary upgrades to Executive Class service; 2,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles, and more. !!! Silver Select – Book 226-300 passengers per year and receive: Two complimentary seats on AC1700/1800/1900 series flights plus free seat selection; One complimentary upgrade to Executive Class service; 1,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles, and more. !!! Bronze Select – Book 175-225 passengers per year and receive: One complimentary seat on AC1700/1800/1900 series flights plus free seat selection; 500 Bonus Aeroplan Miles, and more. Nino Montagnese, vice-president sales and marketing, explained the reasoning behind the new program. “We wish to show our appreciation and acknowledge the hard work and support from our travel partners. Our new rewards program will ensure that many travel agents can qualify, as the first of three levels requires that they book only 175 passengers per year.”And, effective Nov. 1 for departures Jan. 1, 2013 and onwards, agents will earn double the Aeroplan miles with ACV & Me. Agents will earn 200 Aeroplan Miles for every passenger booked on an air and hotel or an air and cruise package with Air Canada Vacations. Agents can also earn 100 miles for every passenger booked on land-only, cruise-only, air-only or Netair. They can earn an additional 100 miles per booking made online at http://www.aircanadavacations.com/agents .
