Aeroplan is offering some bonus miles for points transfers from their partner programs between May 21 and June 18, 2012. The bonus structure is as follows:

You can convert points from the following partners:

CIBC Aventura®World MasterCard™ Card, CIBC Aventura® Gold Visa™, CIBC Aventura® Visa Infinite™, CIBC Aventura® MasterCard™ Card, American Express Membership Rewards – Canada, BankAmericard® Power Rewards® credit card, Diners Club® Club Rewards®, Starwood Preferred Guest®, Hilton HHonors™, Marriott Rewards, Wyndham Rewards®, Best Western Rewards, Choice Privileges®, Coast Rewards, Club CarlsonSM, Le Club Accorhotels (Accor hotels), Golden Circle Award, Hertz Gold Plus Rewards, Points.com

Please note that while Membership Rewards® points from U.S. American Express Cardmember accounts may be converted into Aeroplan Miles, their conversion is not eligible for the bonus promotion.

As you can see, the US Membership Rewards program is excluded from the transfer bonus.

Looking at the above bonuses, if you transfer 100,000 SPG points to Aeroplan you would get a total of 150,000 Aeroplan miles (SPG gives you a 5,000 point bonus for every 20,000 points you transfer, plus the further 25,000 mile bonus).

Anyway, given that Aeroplan miles aren’t nearly as valuable as they used to be I wouldn’t just make a speculative transfer unless you have a specific redemption in mind where the numbers work in your favor.

Still, it’s a promotion worth keeping in mind.

    Since Aeroplan gutted their award chart AND introduced fuel scam charges on *A partner awards (they always charged this for AC flights), miles are worth a lot less than they were not too long ago – pass on AeroSCAM !

    The last time they did a transfer promo the bonus was per trade partner. This time the bonus is for *cumulative* Aeroplan miles from partner trades. If you have orphaned points/miles this could be a way for you to consolidate them and get a little something extra. As always, this may be an attractive option for some but not others. YMMV

    Re: Points.com, I’m unsure if only exchanges to Aeroplan counts=, or if trades with another Points.com person will also count. Need to dig into their T&Cs tomorrow.
