Aeroplan is pretty famous for their hotel transfer bonus promotions – we get to see them several times per year and now we have bonus one! Aeroplan has launched a week long hotel transfer bonus but this time it is only for transfers from one chain – Marriott Bonvoy. From today to June 26 when you convert Marriott Bonvoy points to Aeroplan you’ll receive a 35% bonus. If there is any hotel program to transfer points from it is Marriott and if there is a specific time to do it, it is now. In the revamp of Marriott’s program after taking over Starwood Preferred Guest they did retain one of the most beloved features of the now extinct SPG program and that is its transfer ratio to airline programs. They also kept the much loved bonus of 5,000 extra miles when you converted enough points equal 20,000 miles. That means, in this case, for every 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points you convert Marriott will throw in an additional 5,000 miles. Seeing that Marriott points transfer to Aeroplan 3:1, those 60,000 points net you 25,000 Aeroplan miles…June 20 Update: Qantas revamps their Frequent Flyer program, Azore Airlines now codeshares on WestJet flights & more

Australia’s Qantas announced a revamp of their Frequent Flyer program today. As it is not a major player in our market (they do serve Vancouver) we won’t go into huge detail on the changes but here is an overview of what is happening:More award seat availability – adding more than 1,000,000 seats on Qantas and new partner airlinesCarrier surcharges to be reduced by up to 50% on international flightsUp to a 10% reduction in points for international economy classic flight reward seatsUp to a 15% increase in points for domestic and international premium cabinsMore partners to earn and redeem on including Air New Zealand, Air France, KLM and moreLifetime Platinum Status to be launched and awarded to those who have earned 75,000 status creditsOverall there are some bright spots – a program actually reducing the amount of points required for economy class awards is a good move along with reducing the unpopular carrier surcharges on awards is a step in the right direction. Hopefully this is what we see happen to the new Air Canada Aeroplan program that is slated to come in 2020! The increase for premium seats is unfortuntaley an unwelcome devaluation…
