25% Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert hotel loyalty program points to Aeroplan until April 16

We see the return of another Aeroplan conversion bonus! Last seen before Christmas, the hotel only transfer bonus is back but once again it is 5% lower than previously seen. This time it is 25% versus 30% in November 2017 and of the flat 35% seen in July 2017. You have the make sure that you transfer enough hotel points to earn 5,000 Aeroplan Miles to get the 25% bonus. You'll have until April 16 to make any transfers and the 5,000 miles can be cumulative from multiple hotel programs - this is a good way to use up some of those orphaned hotel points you may never use if you are a frequent Aeroplan redeemer.

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 31,250 Aeroplan 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.





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!

Normally we would recommend getting the Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card to be able to take advantage of this offer but seeing how there is only about a one month window for it, the chances are that getting the card and the points from it would most likely happen after April 16th. You could look at getting the American Express Cobalt Card since it earns Membership Rewards points which you have access to immediately and start putting tons of spend on it in the 5x Food & Dining category and then convert whatever points you have to SPG shortly before April 16th and that will equate to 2.5 Starpoints per dollar spent.
