Last seen this past Spring, the hotel only transfer bonus is back but
this time it’s a flat 35% bonus miles instead of a tiered bonus
structure of up to 30%. This makes this bonus one of the better ones
yet. You don’t have to transfer a lot of points to get the maximum bonus
and the bonus is higher than we’ve seen in the past.
Most of Aeroplan’s hotel partners are participating in the promotion so
you can convert from any of the following to add to your final tally:
Your best bet for transfers is Starwood Preferred Guest of course since
they transfer 1 to 1 to Aeroplan and if you transfer 20,000 Starpoints
at one time SPG will throw in an additional 5,000 miles for 25,000
Aeroplan miles. With the conversion bonus you are actually looking at
getting 33,750Aeroplan Miles for the
20,000 Starpoints. Those miles can get you two short
haul tickets so you can see the potential value
in transferring Starpoints to Aeroplan. BUT WAIT! If you live in Canada you’ll want to wait to
get the SPG card until tomorrow as its sign up offer is going to get better. So be
patient and wait about 16 or so hours from the time we post this if you
are planning to apply for the card.
Another route to look at is Marriott Rewards Hotel+Air package
options. These are the packages where you can redeem Marriott Rewards
points for free nights at their hotels plus a certain amount of airline
miles. For Aeroplan the Hotel+Air package looks like this:
If you are sitting on 270,000 or more Marriott Rewards points you can
end up with 7 nights at a Category 1-5 hotel plus 162,000 Aeroplan Miles
(120,000 + 35% bonus)
Of course if you have points sitting in other hotel programs that you
may never use or are about to expire you should look at transferring
them to Aeroplan so that you actually get some value out of them!
