Aeroplan is once again resurrecting their partner transfer bonus that we saw this spring. The latest in their slew of offers is the return
of their partner transfer bonus. Basically what it entails is
transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your Aeroplan
account. Just like we saw in May, the offer is once again cumulative across all participating partners. That is, you can
transfer from partners like CIBC, Starwood, Hertz and more (see the last graphic)
and as long as the total Aeroplan miles deposited from all of them
reaches one of the bonus target levels you will be awarded the
respective bonus miles. I did notice that this time the offer seems to target U.S. Credit Card holders save for CIBC in Canada as Bank of America and Diners Club Club Rewards are included. Of course all of the other hotel, car rental and Points.com partners are available to us Canadians.
Unfortunately for me I like this promotion when American Express Membership Rewards is included but this time it is not, so chances are I will not use the promo this time.
If you are a Starwood Preferred Guest collector you can really up the bonus by taking advantage of their 5,000 Mile bonus offer when you convert 20,000 Starpoints into Aeroplan. Which means in this promotion you can get 29,000 Aeroplan Miles for 20,000 Starpoints or if you transfer 20k four times, you’ll get 125,000 Aeroplan Miles for 80,000 Starpoints. Of course I like to keep Starpoints for award nights or cash+points stays within the Starwood family but some of you may like this transfer option.
The offer as pulled from our Aeroplan Bonus Mile Promotions page is as follows:
Earn up to 40,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when
you convert points from a wide selection of Aeroplan partner loyalty
programs (hotel, car rental, credit card and points.com). Bonuses
are as follows and are awarded on a cumulative basis (not per transaction
like previous promotions)
Convert Points to
5,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 1,000 Mile bonus
10,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 2,000 Mile bonus
20,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn 4,000 Mile bonus
50,000 Aeroplan Miles to earn a 10,000 Mile bonus
