Chase Ultimate Rewards has just launched a new transfer bonus to Air Canada Aeroplan, and I think this is one that may interest many people…

Chase offering bonus on Aeroplan points transfers
Between April 1 and April 30, 2026, you can earn a 20% bonus when you transfer points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Air Canada Aeroplan.
You can take advantage of this offer an unlimited number of times. Transfers from Chase to Air Canada Aeroplan are generally instant. We typically see an offer like this a couple of times per year, and when we do, the 20% bonus is the standard.
There are several great cards earning Chase Ultimate Rewards points, and it’s easy to combine points between the cards. Also keep in mind that those with the Aeroplan® Credit Card (review) get a further 10% bonus when transferring Ultimate Rewards points to Aeroplan, and these two offers stack:
- This applies when transferring 50,000 or more Chase Ultimate Rewards points in one transaction
- You can get a maximum of 25,000 bonus points per calendar year this way
- The 10% bonus points will post separately — the bonus points should post within 72 hours of the original transfer, but it can take up to seven days
- There’s no registration required to take advantage of this, as long as you’re the primary cardmember on an eligible card, and transfer to your Aeroplan account
Should you transfer Chase points to Aeroplan?
Air Canada Aeroplan is one of my favorite programs for redeeming points, thanks to the huge number of airline partners, plus the ability to book stopovers even on one-way awards for just 5,000 additional points.
Aeroplan has fair award pricing, and not only gets you access to redemptions on all Star Alliance airlines, but also gets you access to a variety of otherwise unaligned airlines, including Air Mauritius, Gulf Air, and many more.
While I usually prefer to transfer my Chase points to World of Hyatt and transfer my Amex points to Air Canada Aeroplan, with a 20-30% bonus, I think this could very well be worth switching up behavior over.
Bottom line
Through April 30, 2026, Chase Ultimate Rewards is offering a 20-30% bonus on points transfers to Air Canada Aeroplan. This is an excellent offer that could be worth taking advantage of, given just how useful the Aeroplan program is for Star Alliance and other partner redemptions. The bonus is even more lucrative if you have the Aeroplan Credit Card, so you can get an additional 10% bonus (with some limitations).
Do you plan on taking advantage of this Chase Aeroplan transfer bonus?
Aeroplan is pretty useless if you’re based on the west coast.
Unless you want to fly to Europe and double connect in Toronto and Montreal and pay 200K points in economy.
Or if you want to pay for a business redemption CDG-FRA-SFO and only CDG-FRA is in business but they charge you 400K points.
@ KLAUS, I am based in MIA and LX to ZRH, or LH to FRA has been my go to transatlantic for the last 20 years. Almost impossible these days to find premium availability, even just 2 or 3 days out. If you know a trick do let us know…:). But yes, I’ll definitely be taking advantage of the promotion!
could be a good deal.. just transferred 55k from chase to 66k Aeroplan plus still have 5k certificate to use by end of August so I will be flying on Swiss out of Miami for only 55k chase points plus $130.. Pretty schweet deal
Not bad if you find a sweet deal via Aeroplan or need to top-off towards a redemption. However, it’s not like F on LH is readily available these days, so… less rubber duckies for us all…
