Aeroplan has once again brought back their partner transfer bonus
that we saw in November 2013 April 2013, November
2012
and so on. Basically what it entails is
transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your
Aeroplan
account. Just like in November, the offer is once again cumulative
across all participating partners and the bonus maxes out at 25,000
miles again. (We haven’t seen the 40,000 miles bonus since April of last
year so it looks like it may have gone the way of the dodo bird…) and
there are no financial partners involved
this time as well, for Canadians that is, Americans get Diners Club Club
Rewards in that category. Basically you can
transfer from partners like 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.
And just like the last two versions of this offer, American Express Membership Rewards is unfortunately not included. so chances are I will not use the promo this time (again).
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.
Here is the offer as it will appear on our Aeroplan Bonus Mile Promotions page tomorrow:
