Convert to Aeroplan or Qatar Avios ?

[Dave G]

Hi,
About to close the CBA smart awards and I'm looking where to park the miles.... Front runners at the moment is Avios or Aeroplan miles -
We live in perth and travel to Canada and Europe regularly...
Any advice / thoughts ?

As good as those programs are, the conversion rates from CBA aren't flash. You could consider Velocity which uses a more generous 2:1 transfer rate, as you can use those points to redeem on both Air Canada and Qatar, along with other partners. The best option would depend on how you travel, though.

I have 308960 Avios Points in my Qatar Burgundy Account. And it clearly says on their calculator page that, for a round trip business class ticket from DUBAI to USA will only use 420000 AVIOS POINTS approx.
