## Summary

Air Canada's Aeroplan and World of Hyatt announced a new partnership effective July 15, 2026, linking the two loyalty programs for Canadian travelers. Key features include:
- **Two-Way Conversions:** Points can be converted between programs at a 2:1 ratio. Hyatt members can convert points to Aeroplan points (min 5,000 Hyatt points, in 1,000-point increments). Aeroplan Elite members can convert Aeroplan points to Hyatt Bonus Points (min 500 Aeroplan points, capped at 100,000 per day/250,000 per week).
- **Cross-Redemptions:** Aeroplan members can redeem 25,000 points for a Category 1–4 Hyatt Free Night Award or 75,000 points for a Category 1–7 award. Hyatt members can redeem 50,000 Hyatt points for a 30,000-point Aeroplan flight reward certificate usable on Air Canada and partners.
- **Dual Earning:** Linked Aeroplan credit cardholders earn both World of Hyatt Bonus Points and accelerated Aeroplan points on spending at Hyatt properties. The American Express Aeroplan Reserve Card sees specific rate bumps.
- **Account Linking:** Most benefits require linking accounts, though basic conversions and per-stay Aeroplan point earnings are available without linking
