Chase Ultimate Rewards: 20% transfer bonus to Aeroplan

Chase Ultimate Rewards to Aeroplan: 20% bonus

This promotion runs from August 12, 2026 at 12:00 AM (ET) to September 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM (ET). It is for holders of an eligible U.S. Chase credit card under the Chase Ultimate Rewards program: the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card, the Ink Business Preferred Card, the Ink Plus Card, the Chase Corporate Flex Card, and the JPMorgan Reserve Card.

Rather than obtaining the usual 1:1 transfer ratio, you will be able to earn 1.2 Aeroplan points for each Chase Ultimate Rewards point transferred to the program. So, by transferring 50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you will obtain 60,000 Aeroplan points, a bonus of 10,000 points!

To take advantage of this promotion, you must transfer a minimum of 1,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points, in increments of 1,000, and there is no maximum. The transfer can take up to seven days to appear in your Aeroplan account, but the delay could be much shorter.

For your information, Chase UR points can be sent to other partners. Here is the complete list of airline loyalty programs:

Chase card Aeroplan: 10% bonus

Chase Aeroplan^® Card holders (available in the United States only) can also benefit from an additional 10% bonus when they transfer 50,000 Ultimate Rewards points or more, in a single transaction, to their Aeroplan account.

This bonus is stackable with the current 20% offer, for a total of 30% in bonus Aeroplan points. A maximum of 25,000 bonus points per calendar year applies.

A few details to know before transferring: your Aeroplan membership must be in good standing and your Chase card account open and not in default to be eligible. Only the primary Chase account holder can take advantage of these bonuses. A transfer made to an authorized user’s account, or to another person’s Aeroplan account, is not eligible. The name on the credit card account must match exactly the name on the Aeroplan account receiving the points. Finally, once your Ultimate Rewards points are transferred to Aeroplan, the transaction is irreversible: they cannot be returned to Chase Ultimate Rewards.

Conclusion

Aeroplan has been a transfer partner of the Chase Ultimate Rewards program since August 2021. Chase and Aeroplan then launched their co-branded credit card, the Chase Aeroplan^® Card, in December 2021.

Transfer bonuses between programs are rare; they sometimes appear only once a year. This 2026 edition is the most generous since the previous offer, which ended in January 2025—so it’s a good time to transfer your points, especially if you have travel plans coming up before September 30, 2026.

Aeroplan updated its terms and conditions recently, limiting the number of welcome bonuses that can be earned for its co-branded credit cards in Canada.

For Canadians looking to accumulate more Aeroplan points, it may be worthwhile to turn to American Express credit cards that earn Membership Rewards points. These points can then be transferred to Aeroplan. However, Membership Rewards transfer bonuses to Aeroplan are very rare, if not non-existent in recent years.
