Our Take
If you have planned upcoming IHG stays and are an Aeroplan fan, this promotion is a nice bonus. AwardWallet users have leveraged Aeroplan points for an average value of 3.05 cents per point. Maximizing the promotion and earning 15,000 points would give you $457.5 worth of value.
This promotion can be a great earner with existing plans. However, it is not sufficiently lucrative to alter or change your plans. If it works with existing plans, great! Otherwise, you are best off letting this one pass by.
