Since Travel Package is exclude again, I expect some will ask this question again - is it better to transfer from SPG to get the bonus over Travel Package without Bonus?
Here is a quick calculation based on starting at 90K SPG
- 90,000 SPG to Aeroplan direct with standard 25% bonus (20K SPG get 25K AP) will be 112,500. With this convert promo, another 25% on top, for a total of 140,625 AP.
- 90,000 SPG convert to 270K Marriott and order a CAT 1-5 Travel Package will get 120,000 AP + 7-night cert
So it is that 7-night cert or 20,625 AP.
Also, please note again, the standard SPG 25% bonus is for every 20K SPG transfer, so if you only have 90K SPG, it will not get thew 140,625 AP that is in my calculation above.
I dont believe its clear the Marriott packages are excluded. Last time there were excluded explicit. This time the language is not so clear
