What happened
Chase and Air Canada are paying a 20% bonus on Ultimate Rewards transfers to Aeroplan from August 12 through September 30, 2026, with Chase Aeroplan cardmembers receiving an extra 10% for a 30% total when they transfer 50,000 or more points in a single transaction. Aeroplan credits the bonus up to 7 days after the transfer. A 1,000-point transfer at the 20% rate yields 1,200 Aeroplan points.
The extra 10% is capped at 25,000 bonus points per calendar year and applies only when the primary Chase Aeroplan cardmember transfers into their own linked Aeroplan account. Transfers into an authorized user's account or anyone else's do not get that extra 10%. The Chase Aeroplan card must be linked and active. It cannot be in default when the extra bonus is credited. Names on the card and the Aeroplan account must match. Aeroplan membership must be in good standing. The Ultimate Rewards account must be open and not in default. Transferred points cannot be moved back to Ultimate Rewards.
Transfer only against an Aeroplan award you can book today, and move 50,000 or more points in one transaction from a Chase Aeroplan card for the extra 10%.
