Conversion bonuses from Radisson Rewards to Aeroplan are now becoming a regular thing. IIRC this is the third conversion bonus of the year (outside of Aeroplan’s own bonus on hotel transfers) from Radisson to Aeroplan. This time the offer is 25%, whereas at the start of the year we had 100% and late summer saw 50% so as you can see this bonus is the lowest of them all. Seeing that there are other times of the year where you can get more miles for this transfer I would wait to do any conversions unless you really need those miles in your Aeroplan account right away!Offer details:25% Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert Radisson Rewards points to Aeroplan Miles.
