Aeroplan has once again brought back their partner transfer bonus that we saw in April, last November and last spring. Basically what it entails is transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your Aeroplan account. Just like in April, the offer is once again cumulative across all participating partners however the bonus maxes out at 25,000 miles instead of 40,000 and there are no financial partners involved this time as well. 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 Aeroplan Bonus Mile Promotions page tomorrow:
