Marriott Bonvoy & Aeroplan Offer Status Match & Currency Transfer

Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s travel program – offering the portfolio in the industry with more than 30 brands and 10,000 global destinations – and Aeroplan, Canada's travel loyalty program run by Canada’s airline, Air Canada, have deepened their loyalty partnership, building on a longstanding relationship between two travel brands to offer elevated value and enhanced benefits to travelers.

Expanded Partnership

Through this enhanced loyalty partnership, Aeroplan 50K, 75K, and Super Elite Members will receive complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite Status, while Marriott Bonvoy Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite members will receive complimentary Aeroplan 25K Status. The joint member must link their Marriott Bonvoy account and Aeroplan account to unlock the status match across programs. In addition, Aeroplan Elite Status Members can now convert their Aeroplan points into Marriott Bonvoy points at a 1:1 ratio, adding greater flexibility to how members can use their Aeroplan points. This is in addition to the already existing ability for members to convert their Marriott Bonvoy points into Aeroplan points at a 3:1 ratio. Together, these improved benefits provide Marriott Bonvoy members and Aeroplan members more opportunities to enhance their overall travel and lifestyle experiences.

With Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status, members can enjoy exclusive benefits including priority late check out (subject to availability), enhanced room upgrades (subject to availability), and 25% bonus Marriott Bonvoy points on eligible stays, among a variety of other benefits to enhance members’ experience. In turn, Aeroplan 25K Status Members can enjoy priority airport services that currently include priority check-in and boarding, two complimentary checked bags, eUpgrade credits to enjoy extra comfort, complimentary preferred seats, exclusive offers and more (subject to availability and Aeroplan program changes).
