Convert Your Marriott Bonvoy Points to Aeroplan with a 15% Bonus
Share

From October 1 to 31, 2025, you can convert your Marriott Bonvoy points into Aeroplan points with a 15% bonus.

Normally, the transfer rate is generally 3:1 (30,000 Marriott points = 10,000 Aeroplan points). And for every 60,000 points transferred, Marriott adds a bonus of 5,000 Aeroplan points.

To take advantage of this offer, you must convert a minimum of 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy points to Aeroplan points in a single transaction. A maximum of 240,000 Marriott Bonvoy points can be converted within a 24-hour period.

Here is an example of conversion:

Standard Marriott Bonvoy Bonus–5,000 Aeroplan points
Aeroplan 15% Bonus1,500 Aeroplan points3,000 Aeroplan points
Total11,500 Aeroplan points28,000 Aeroplan points

As you can see, the most advantageous option is to convert in increments of 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, as you can get a bonus of 5,000 Aeroplan points.

This only happens once a year! This is a rare opportunity to transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points if you’re not sure how to use them and think they’d be more valuable as Aeroplan points.

To transfer your Marriott points to Aeroplan points, follow the instructions on the Marriott page to convert your points. Bonus points will be credited to your Aeroplan account 8 to 10 weeks after October 31, 2025.

It is generally more difficult to earn Marriott Bonvoy points than Aeroplan points. This makes the Marriott Bonvoy currency harder to get.

To Convert or Not to Convert?

This promotion will therefore appeal at those who have Marriott Bonvoy points but find more interest in the Aeroplan program.

But remember: a hotel room can be shared by several travelers, which is not the case for an airplane seat! With 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, you could get up to many nights in certain hotels worldwide for an entire family! Or a few nights in many North American hotels.

Whereas with 30,000 Aeroplan points, you could get a round-trip economy class flight ticket to certain North American destinations.

The Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card is the best credit card in Canada for free hotel nights.

New Cardmembers can earn up to 110,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points with the current offer:

  • Earn 80,000 points after you spend $6,000 on your Card in your first 6 months of Cardmembership.
  • Plus, earn 30,000 points by making a purchase during your 15th month of Cardmembership.

This offer ends on September 22, 2026. The annual fee is $120, and there is no annual fee on Additional Cards, so you can add a partner or a family member at no extra cost.

Every year after your first Card anniversary, you receive an Annual Free Night Award good for a redemption of up to 35,000 points at eligible hotels and resorts worldwide. At a valuation of 0.9 cents per Marriott Bonvoy point, that certificate is worth roughly $315, which on its own more than covers the $120 annual fee. That is the main reason to keep this Card year after year instead of cancelling it.

To get the most out of the certificate, aim it at a night that would otherwise price close to the 35,000 point ceiling.

The Card also gives you 15 Elite Night Credits each calendar year and automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status. Those credits count toward the next Elite tier, so you begin every year 15 nights ahead of where you would otherwise start.

You move up to Gold Elite status automatically when you reach $30,000 in purchases on the Card in a year, or when you combine 10 qualifying paid nights within one calendar year with the 15 Elite Night Credits from your Card.

Marriott Bonvoy points are generally valued at 0.9 cents each. On that basis, the 110,000 point welcome offer is worth about $990, and an Annual Free Night Award used at its full 35,000 point ceiling is worth about $315.

Marriott Bonvoy points pull their weight on free nights rather than on gift cards or merchandise, which is why this Card should be judged on the hotel stays it produces.

You earn 5 points per dollar on eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels and 2 points per dollar on all other purchases. Points can be redeemed for free nights with no blackout dates at more than 7,000 hotels around the world.

The Card carries a solid package of coverages: $500,000 travel accident insurance, flight delay, baggage delay, lost or stolen baggage and hotel or motel burglary at $500 each, car rental theft and damage up to $85,000 for rentals of up to 48 days, Purchase Protection for 90 days and a one year Extended Warranty.

Two things to plan around: the 2.5% foreign transaction fee on purchases made in a foreign currency, and the 21.99% purchase interest rate, which makes this a Card to pay in full every month. Like all American Express Canada Cards, no minimum income is published for this Card, and you can see whether you would be approved before you apply, with no impact on your credit score.
