Our Verdict
Only real transfer that makes sense is SPG to Aeroplan, you receive a 1:1 rate and also a bonus 5,000 miles for every 20,000 you transfer plus this bonus. That means 20,000 SPG points would net you 29,000 Aeroplan miles, personally I’d rather the SPG points but if you’re in need of Aeroplan miles then it’s hard to beat this double dip opportunity.
Hat tip to Mile Nerd
Hertz seems like a reasonable option, why don’t you consider that?
Dunno where people would be getting masses of Hertz points really. If it works for you, great!
Weak. Every time I’ve used AeroPlan was from MR transfers!
MV has a good post about this for those who use Aeroplan because they are after LH F to Europe… basically don’t do it (that’s the jist).
