Conclusion
There is absolutely no downside for participating for this promotion and get some bonus Aeroplan miles in the process. There are often SPG and Aeroplan promotions and you might eventually get a free ticket without having to forgo earning Starpoints.
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
Bonus Aeroplan® Miles are offered to eligible Aeroplan Members who stay a minimum of five nights paying an Eligible Rate at participating Starwood hotels and resorts globally during the promotional period September 1 — December 15, 2013. A maximum of 9,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles can be earned during the promotion by staying at Starwood properties paying an Eligible Rate. If an Eligible hotel check-in occurs on December 15, 2013, it will be counted and included as a qualifying night in the promotional period. Advance reservations are required and bookings are based on availability. Nights are cumulative and do not need to be consecutive. Any Bonus Aeroplan Miles earned with this promotion is in addition to regular and any bonus Starwood Preferred Guest Starpoints® earnings.
Offer not applicable to groups. Reservations must be made directly with Starwood (by phone, starwoodhotels.com, or specific Starwood property website) or via a travel agent. Bookings via third-party online retailers and other wholesalers are not eligible for this bonus offer promotion. You must register online for this promotion and be a member of the Starwood Preferred Guest Program. Register for the promotion at spgpromos.com/aeroplanfall2013/ Membership in the SPG program is free. To join, visit spg.com. All Starwood Preferred Guest terms and conditions apply. Please allow six to eight weeks after the promotion ends for Aeroplan Miles to be posted to your Aeroplan Account.
An Eligible Rate is any rate that is eligible to earn Starpoints in the Starwood Preferred Guest program. SPG-participating hotels and resorts and a description of Eligible Rates can be found at spg.com under program terms and conditions. See Section 1.4 for the complete definition of Eligible Rates, but note that certain prepaid rooms where the booking is made through a third party (including but not limited to travelocity.com, expedia.com and orbitz.com) are not Eligible Rates and do not earn Starpoints or qualify toward promotional earnings.

Sounds like a good offer, but I’m debating whether it’s worthwhile to put anything into Aeroplan these days.
If you have SPG stays coming up during the promotion period, there is absolutely nothing for you to lose. These are in additional to whatever Starpoints you earn. You might be able to dump them via Points.com at horrible rate somewhere if you so wish.
Does one need to register prior to a stay? Just wondering what happens with a stay from Aug 31st to September (n)-th… With signup done on Sept 1st… Will they count (n-1) nights (all except first night which was in August and prior to signup) or just nothing? Hate those small characters… Can’t find an answer.
I would not expect the stay to count if you check out on September 1.
What I meant with (n) and (n-1) nights is that I don’t know yet when I’ll check out (Sept 5, 6, 7, … ?). Let’s say I checkout one Sept 5th. Do you expect the nights from Sept 1-5 to count even if initial checkin was Aug 31st, and registration was on Sept 1 ? Thanks !
Yes. Even if your stay has begun before the promotion the dates that fall within the promotion do count.
