MONTREAL — Air Canada Vacations is taking a page from the car dealerships’ playbook with a brand new sale that offers packages priced at employee discounts.

Just like companies like Ford tempt consumers with employee pricing promotions, ACV is telling vacationers they can “travel like one of us!” with its new Employee Price Grab sale, on now with rebates worth up to $500 per couple.

The promotion runs through July 29 and applies to packages including flight, hotel and transfers to Mexico, Caribbean, Las Vegas, Hawaii, and Europe. The travel window is July 9 – Dec. 17.

“It’s an exciting time for our trade partners as we launch this very exciting new promotion,” says Nino Montagnese, Managing Director at Air Canada Vacations. “The value is excellent and covers not only our key departure cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, but from our 64 connector cities as well. You don’t want to miss it!”

With the ACV&ME loyalty program, agents who book hotels and groups will receive 600 points per room for packages of 7+ nights; 400 points per room for packages of 3-6 nights and 300 points per passenger for group bookings. ACV&ME loyalty points can be redeemed for Aeroplan Miles, travel vouchers or Visa gift cards.
