Same for 2014:

Please note that while the conversion of Membership Rewards points from American Express Cardmember accounts into Aeroplan Miles is still possible, it is not eligible for this bonus mile promotion.

Trying to decide what to do with 90K AMEX points. We fly to London at least once a year but our trips generally do not have much notice.

Thinking of the VA transfer but because we're flying out of MSY that sort of hinders us a bit on VA.

What to do what to do.

VS = Virgin Atlantic
