Bonus Aeroplan Points Promotion
Now, Air Canada offers 15% Bonus Aeroplan points on the transfer of Marriott Bonvoy Points. However, the 15% bonus is only applicable to base Aeroplan points earned with a 60K transfer and does not include 5K Bonus points. The image below sums it up. For example, when transferring 60,000 Marriott points, you will receive 20,000 base Aeroplan points, 5,000 bonus points, and 3,000 bonus Aeroplan points under this promotion, totalling 28,000 points.
Although the offer is for 15% bonus points, the bonus is 12% after adjusting for the 5K Bonus points you already earn.
Timelines
- The 15% Bonus Points offer is valid till 31st October 2025.
- Bonus Aeroplan points will be credited within 8–10 weeks after the offer period ends.

Should you Transfer?
Marriott Bonvoy Points are among the easiest to earn and have a soft expiry of 24 months. Aeroplan Points can also be earned easily (via Axis Bank and HDFC in India) or purchased when a bonus is available. It also has a fixed award chart, low fuel surcharges and several airline partners.
But, this promotion would have been great if the 15% bonus points were instant rather than taking weeks. Plus, the actual bonus is just 12%. (3K Bonus Points on top of 25K points already earned if you transfer 60K Marriott Points in one go)
This promotion works well for those who regularly use Aeroplan Points by transferring Marriott Bonvoy Points or plan to do so soon. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense to make a speculative transfer.

Marriott to Aeroplan Bonus History
| Period | Bonus |
| 1st October to 31st October 2025 | 15% |

Bottomline
15% Bonus Aeroplan Points on transfer of Marriott Bonvoy Points is a decent offer. However, this may not be for everyone. There are ways to earn Aeroplan points, such as transferring credit card points, and it is also sometimes inexpensive to purchase. So, a 15% Bonus won’t make most of us transfer Bonvoy points speculatively; however, it is still an option where you have a redemption in mind, but the bonus takes 8 to 10 weeks.
