Need more Aeroplan miles?

If so—and if you have points in a number of other rewards programs—this conversion bonus may be just the ticket.

Offer Details

Through December 12, Aeroplan members who convert points from 14 other programs into Aeroplan miles can earn 20 to 25 percent more miles.

  • Hertz Gold Plus Rewards

Aeroplan members may earn up to 25,000 bonus miles for conversions from each of the participating loyalty programs.

Deal or No Deal

The conversion bonuses themselves are solid. The question is whether Aeroplan miles are worth converting for.

Aeroplan isn't what it used to be. In July, the award chart underwent significant modifications, resulting in higher prices for many of the more desirable award flights. And more recently, the program has begun imposing fuel surcharges on many partner awards, further eroding the value of an Aeroplan mile.

If you're still an Aeroplan supporter, even after the negative changes, this promotion may be worthwhile. These days, that's a big "if."
