Like you said, its all depends on our needs at the time. I did not need to convert at this time and will be using hotel points I have for stay at stops. If I had shortage of points I would have transfer to Aeroplan and pay for hotels.
Yeah, this was exactly our plan for our Aeroplans for our family - to do a Europe trip in 2-3 years. Sadly, the demise of Aeroplan has squashed that plan, and we instead opted to burn them on a flight to Hawaii next spring (which isn't great value for us in the west, but we kinda needed them, and they were there to burn).
So now I'm trying to convince hubby to turf his TD Aeroplan card, since it's effin useless now. We may be able to squeeze one more free flight out of it before the end of Aeroplan, but we'll see...
