However, they are flexible points that can be <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/tutorial-transfer-membership-rewards\/\">transferred to many airline and hotel programs<\/a>: Aeroplan, Flying Blue, British Airways Club, Marriott Bonvoy and Hilton Honors, among others. <\/p>\n<p>By transferring points, it is often possible to achieve greater value for each point redeemed. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/points-miles-value-canada\/\">Milesopedia estimates that one Aeroplan point is worth 2 cents<\/a> when used to purchase a flight.
