can you still transfer aeroplan to us airways 100:84 w/ points.com?
I saw some posts on TPG about transferring MR-->Aeroplan-->US Airways. Ratio is 100 MR--> 100 Aeoroplan --> 84 US airways. That was in 2012. can you still do it now?
|
I see you got no responses. Did you ever try it?
|
This still worked in Jan, I have no reason to believe it would no longer work. Check on points.com with a fake transfer. It's a nice option to move AmEx MR to US.
|
I did. I moved 103k mr to about 86k us airways. Took three transactions since you are limited to 50k per transaction. Took about a day each.
|
More than 100k
Hi, Were you able to transfer more than 100k i.e. 103k MR?
The website says limit of 100k for Aeroplan S |
I transferred 104k mr. Dont know if pilicy changed. At the time, i could only do 50k at a time. I ended up doing sonething like 50k, 20k, 34k

What are the specific instances when losing ~15% of your MR points is beneficial by using this method to get them into US?
I do recall there may be some fees that AC charges on some international flights that perhaps US does not charge which would make this transfer worthwhile? I have a lot of MR points, and was planning to just use them on AC for *A international travel in business or first, so would love to hear if there are better options through US that make more sense, taking into account losing ~15% of your MR points to do so. |
No fuel surcharges, and also the award chart has certain regions that are more favourable on US, even with the 15% deficit.
|
I didn't know about this, but thank you.
Also, I can make up the 16% loss by the 20% gain for dividend miles select (5,000 miles off any award booking on US Airways metal). |
I transferred 90k Aeroplan to US about 10 days ago and they have not yet shown up. I made both transfers on the same day (50 & 40k for a total of about 75k US). I have now had a zero balance in my Aeroplan account for 4 days, but my US balance has not increased. When I click on the my account section at points.com the transactions show "under review". Points.com say that the transfers can take up to 7 days. I have emailed them and will update this thread when they reply. Anyone else having this problem?
|
Aeroplan called me today to confirm that i had made the transfer requests. The miles when in my account when i checked hours later.

US Airways not currently showing as an exchange partner in Points.com. Hope this is not a permanent move. Any insight?

I checked with points.com through their live chat and the rep said there is a technical issue and they're trying to resolve it.
