Combined with existing starwood poiints, i ahve enough MRP for about 3 top tier or close to top tier travel packages. I ahve one that I need to use on a current category 8 booking for stay in August.

I'm in Canada, so am typically used to using aeroplan for airline stuff. However, I see UA and AA often being used as well.

I'm wondering if i should send all to aeroplan, or diversify to the others? Any advice is appreciated!

I'd convert these to SPG and then on to SQ - 485K SQ miles can get you two RT tickets in Biz or better anywhere SQ flies.

Forget about AS or UA where the availability is really miserable and hotel rooms can always be had at a discount.
