Transfer Chase points to Aeroplan with a 20% bonus
When transferring Chase points to Aeroplan, you can turn 1,000 Ultimate Rewards into 1,200 Aeroplan points. Transfers from Chase to Aeroplan are usually instant.
Not all Chase credit cards are eligible for this transfer bonus. You need to have one of the following Chase cards open and in good standing:
- Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees)
- Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees)
- J.P. Morgan Reserve
- Ink Business Plus
- Chase Corporate Flex
- Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card (see rates and fees)
The information for the J.P. Morgan Reserve, Chase Corporate Flex and Ink Business Plus has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
If you also have the Aeroplan® Credit Card (see rates and fees), you are eligible to receive an additional 10% bonus for every 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points you transfer to Aeroplan (up to 25,000 bonus points per year), meaning you could stack the offers to receive 30% bonus Aeroplan points.
How to redeem Aeroplan points for maximum value
While Aeroplan now prices awards operated by Air Canada and select partner airlines like Emirates dynamically (which can often be hundreds of thousands of points per flight), for most partner-operated flights, they are priced according to a fixed award chart with very reasonable rates.
Some of the best ways to redeem Aeroplan points include:
- Short-haul domestic flights on United Airlines for 10,000 points (or 9,000 Chase points with this bonus)
- Lie-flat business-class flights to Western Europe on Lufthansa, Swiss, Eurowings and more for 60,000 points (or 50,000 Chase points with this bonus)
- Business-class flights from the U.S. to India on Air India for 90,000 points (75,000 Chase points with this offer)
- First-class flights to Germany on Lufthansa for 90,000 to 100,000 points (75,000 to 84,000 Chase points with this bonus)
