20% Transfer Bonus from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Aeroplan

As of today, transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards to Aeroplan will include a 20% transfer bonus on top of the usual 1:1 ratio.

Among all transferable rewards in the US, Chase typically offers the lowest frequency of transfer bonuses to any transfer partner, so this second-ever Aeroplan transfer bonus is quite exciting, and shows the depth of the relationship between Aeroplan and Chase.

This offer ends July 31, 2023, and can be an excellent opportunity to rack up Aeroplan points – especially if you also hold the Chase Aeroplan Card.

20% Transfer Bonus to Aeroplan

Between June 15 and July 31, 2023, all Chase Ultimate Rewards transferred to Aeroplan will include a 20% transfer bonus. This brings the transfer ratio from the usual 1:1 to an effective ratio of 1:1.2. 

As a reminder, Chase Ultimate Rewards points are US-issued points currency, and you will need to be fairly far along in the US credit card game in order to earn these points as a Canadian. 

There’s no minimum amount of points required for transferring in order to take advantage of the 20% bonus, and you can earn the 20% bonus an unlimited number of times as long as all the transfers are initiated by July 31, 2023. No registration is required.

Note that this extra 10% bonus will apply to the base transfer points, and not on top of the promotional 20% transfer bonus. In other words, the two transfer bonuses will combine additively, not multiplicatively.
