All you need to do is transfer 50,000 American Express MR points to Aeroplan and you're set.
You don't need to spend a penny during the promotion period, although this is assuming you have an existing American Express card with at least a 50K MR points balance.
I guess I made a big assumption that most people who are in this hobby collect American Express MR points and usually have big points balances.
