that means 7 nights = 150,000 points. Therefore no discount on what it would normally cost to redeem 7 nights.
At the moment aeroplan has bonuses of up to 25% when transfering points from Marriott. 50,000 Marriott converts to 60,000 aeroplan.
Hertz has 0 value to me. I will get a better rate elsewhere or not need a vehicle.
Anything I'm missing?
