How bonuses work

Four things to know

01
The bonus sits on top of the usual rate
Marriott to Aeroplan is normally 60,000 → 25,000. With its usual +15% bonus, it's 60,000 → 28,750.
02
The extra points come later
The usual points arrive on the normal schedule. The bonus can take 8 to 10 weeks after the promotion ends.
03
Transfers are still final
A bonus doesn't change the rules. Once points move they can't come back, so find the award first.
04
Standard rates are on the partners page
Every program's usual ratio, minimum and transfer time. Transfer partners
