I presume you'd have to change your earning preference from points to miles? Lurker, can you confirm?
If that's the case, there is no way I'd give up SPG pts to collect AE miles with their exorbitant fees and taxes.

Found the T&Cs.
Also does not say if the nights have to be consecutive. Lurkers?

One does not need to change their earning preference to be direct deposit to Aeroplan. One only needs to register giving their SPG and Aeroplan account numbers and stay the 3 - 5 nights on an eligible rate. Also, the nights do not need to be consecutive.

Thanks OP for the link. I will take advantage of this to the fullest - a great incentive to get me to redirect some stays from Mariott over the coming months. I was very unexcited about the upcoming Q4 promo but for my relatively light volume of single night stays, this Aeroplan offer crushes the Q4 SPG offering!
