Aeroplan has decided to extend the promotion until September 25, 2019.
From September 09 to September 22 25, 2019, you can earn a bonus of 30% additional aeroplan miles by converting your hotel program points.
You can convert your hotel program points into Aeroplan miles from:
Here’s what you could get as Aeroplan miles with this conversion promotion:
*Marriott Bonvoy offers a bonus of 15,000 points (or 5,000 miles) for every 60,000 points transferred. Thus, as part of this promotion, 60,000 points = 32,500 miles!
Radisson Rewards is currently offering an additional 50% bonus miles for a total of 80% additional bonuses.
Let’s take the example of converting Marriott Bonvoy points into Aeroplan Miles as part of this promotion.
If you recently obtained the Marriott Bonvoyᵐᶜ American ExpressMD card, you normally have just over 53,000 Marriott Bonvoy points (50,000 points for the welcome bonus and 3,000 points for requested purchases of $1,500 within the first 3 months).
This means that:
53,000 Marriott Bonvoy points
=
17,667 Aeroplan miles (3:1 ratio)
+ 30% (conversion bonus)
22,967 Aeroplan miles
However, it would be much wiser to convert 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points because the Marriott Bonvoy program offers an additional 5,000 Aeroplan miles bonus for every 60,000 points converted!
Thus:
60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points
20,000 Aeroplan miles (3:1 ratio)
+ 5,000 Aeroplan miles (bonus offered by Marriott Bonvoy)
32,500 Aeroplan miles

However, the Cobaltᵐᶜ American Express card does not allow you to transfer your points into Aeroplan Miles.
The trick here is to use the Marriott Bonvoy program to convert your Membership Rewards points accumulated on the Cobaltᵐᶜ American Express card into Aeroplan Miles!
So this gives:
50,000 membership rewards
60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points (5:6 ratio)
We always tell you that it is best to use your points and miles within the loyalty program in which they were issued to you.
However, some promotions like this can be interesting, especially if you’re missing miles to book the airline reward of your dreams!
