Aeroplan has once again brought back their partner transfer bonus that we now see at least twice per year Basically what it entails is transferring points out of other select loyalty programs into your Aeroplan account. Unlike the last couple of bonuses that maxed out on the 40,000 mile high end this time the bonus goes as high as 55,000 miles if you covert points worth 200,000 or more miles. As always now there are no financial partners involved again, for Canadians that is, Americans get Diners Club Club Rewards in that category. Basically you can transfer from partners like Starwood, Hertz and more (see the last graphic) and as long as the total Aeroplan miles deposited from all of them reaches one of the bonus target levels you will be awarded the respective bonus miles. They also have a lower end threshold now of 2,500 – 4,999 miles which will earn a 500 mile bonus.And just like the last four versions of this offer, American Express Membership Rewards is unfortunately not included…
